In the past, businesses and sites invested heavily in technology - cameras, biometrics, and barriers - but often in isolation. These systems didn’t talk to each other. There was no unified response, no intelligent decision-making.
That’s why Ideco Biometrics, Bosch (now Keenfinity), and Boomgate Systems came together to form a purpose-driven alliance and offer a fully integrated security ecosystem that combines identity, intelligence, and access. Together, we are transforming how organisations protect people, property, and information through a seamless, layered, and data-driven approach.
Ideco Biometrics is a leader in designing, distributing, and integrating biometric solutions across Africa, delivering trusted identity assurance through real-time biometric verification, and Identity Management, ensuring compliance with FIPS, NIST, POPI, and FICA standards. From mobile onboarding and access control to professional certification via the Ideco Technical Certification Training Programs, Ideco verifies every identity accurately and securely. With over 150,000 readers installed, Ideco solutions serve 3.5 million daily users across government, enterprise, and security-conscious environments.
Formerly Bosch Security and Communications, Keenfinity delivers AI-powered video surveillance and analytics that go beyond monitoring. With Bosch Edge Analytics and IVA Pro Packs, their systems interpret behaviour, detect anomalies, and provide actionable intelligence in real time, turning surveillance into proactive protection. By transforming raw video into insight, Keenfinity connects detection with decision-making, enabling proactive threat prevention and seamless integration with both biometric systems and access controls.
Boomgate Systems is a proudly South African manufacturer of vehicle and pedestrian access control and hostile vehicle mitigation solutions. Since 1998, Boomgate have designed and engineered barriers, gates, turnstiles, hydraulic bollards, and anti-terror systems that meet the highest standards of safety and performance.

From residential estates to high-risk, unmanned, or remote sites, Boomgate delivers tailored, durable, and intelligently engineered solutions that set the benchmark for access control.
The Identity, Security and Access Alliance represents a unified approach to modern security, where intelligence, verification, and control work seamlessly together to deliver One Vision. Total Security.
Together, these capabilities create a living ecosystem of intelligent access control, where every layer communicates, informs, and reinforces the other. The result? A unified security response that bridges digital and physical protection - precise, proactive, and future-ready.
This alliance represents more than technology, it’s a shared purpose to redefine integrated security. By combining biometric verification, intelligent video analytics, and advanced access control, Ideco Biometrics, Keenfinity, and Boomgate Systems deliver a seamless, end-to-end security experience.
Together, they unlock complete, intelligent access control - securing every identity, every entrance, and every decision.
