The launch of HID Integration Service promises to facilitate physical security, cybersecurity and digital identity management in a single platform.
Designed to empower application developers, solution integrators and software vendors to seamlessly and rapidly integrate essential physical security solutions, the integration platform-as-a-service (IPaaS) streamlines processes and enhances system interoperability.
By doing so, the platform aims to ease the burden of maintenance and upgrades associated with managing and implementing integrations between physical security and cybersecurity systems, thereby lowering costs, streamlining operations and significantly reducing implementation time.
“Organizations have long struggled with brittle, complex integrations and the costs to maintain them,” says Martin Ladstaetter, senior vice president and head of Identity and Access Management Solutions at HID. “HID Integration Service eliminates these pain points by providing an integration platform that connects physical and digital security products, reducing time to market for development partners who are building the next generation of security solutions with greater speed, quality, resilience and value.”
HID says its Integration Service addresses the top benefits security leaders seek from unified management solutions—improved efficiencies, simplified management and enhanced visibility—helping them:
- Reduce operational complexities and maintenance costs.
- Deliver new security capabilities faster into tailored industry solutions.
- Simplify security touchpoints through streamlined user experiences.
The company also highlights the following features and benefits:
- A comprehensive integration layer that scales from point-to-point connections into multi-party integrations
- Pre-built integrations that accelerate deployment and reduce development costs
- Scalability and security to support rapidly evolving business needs
“We are excited about HID’s new integration platform capabilities, which we believe can only add to SwiftConnect’s ability to meet our customers’ expectations and broader needs in the commercial real estate and enterprise markets,” says Matt Kopel, co-founder and co-CEO of SwiftConnect, an early adopter of the service. “The alignment of vision and direction between our companies will enhance and multiply the business changes our customers are pursuing.”
“We envision a world where ID photos magically arrive in their intended location without human intervention,” adds Luke Rettstatt, chief executive officer of CloudCard. “To realize this vision, we must develop and maintain many integrations, which is daunting for a small team. HID Integration Service allows us to focus on RemotePhoto’s AI workflow rather than building and maintaining certified integrations with third parties.”
Growing demand for seamless integration and efficiency is reflected in HID’s 2025 State of Security and Identity Report which finds 67 per cent of security leaders surveyed are actively transitioning to software-driven security solutions, with nearly three-quarters of organizations considering unified data collection critical to their operations.
