Physical access disconnected from compliance
Your badge system and your compliance records don't talk to each other. When a certificate expires, nothing automatically stops that person from entering.
Heavy manufacturing security
Link physical plant access directly to live compliance status
Automate pre-clearance across external contractors, truckers, visitors, and their employers before gate arrival. Ensure site gates automatically revoke access the moment individual qualifications or company compliance change.
- Company checks
- Personal checks
How it works
Pre-verify every external company and person before they reach your gate
An automated identity verification workflow for contractors, visitors, drivers and their employers that keeps safety and access rules consistent across your sites.
- 01
Start from the blueprint
Company and personal checks are pre-configured. Adjust to your policy, zones, and company types.
- 02
Companies register themselves
Send an invitation link. The external company registers, gets checked automatically, and adds the people it sends.
- 03
Checks run before arrival
People verify identity, upload compliance documents, and complete the site briefing on their phone. Your team only reviews flagged cases.
- 04
Every entry is logged
Every check, source, and timestamp linked to the external person and company. Exportable in one click for audits.
Plant access compliance
Manual gate checks can't verify what your plant requires before entry.
Guards check IDs and paper certificates at arrival. Under pressure, expired documents get missed, certificates don't always match the person in front of them, and the full subcontractor chain goes unchecked. Nothing revokes access when compliance changes.
-
Physical access connected to compliance status
Documents monitored continuously. Access blocked the moment company or personal checks no longer pass.
-
~12 minutes of manual checks per arrival
Security staff collect ID, verify safety certificates, and confirm compliance at the gate while contractors queue behind
~20 second check-in at the gate
Identity and documents checked on their phone before travel. Cleared arrivals scan through in seconds
-
Unverified sub-tier contractors
You verify the company you contracted directly. The firms they subcontract often send workers to your gate without the same checks.
Full-chain compliance
Main contractor, sub, and sub-sub. Each must pass company and worker checks before anyone enters your perimeter.
-
Fragmented access records
Spreadsheets, gate notes, and badge lists that do not link a decision to the person, company, and check
Linked audit trails
Every check, source, timestamp, and decision logged to the external person and company, exportable in one click
The heavy manufacturing blueprint
Automate every compliance check required before site arrival
Pre-clear both the contracting company and the individual worker before they reach your perimeter. All checks execute automatically long before gate entry.
01 Company Per VAT number
Company checks
Every external company on site. Enter a VAT number and 9ID checks it against official sources, then keeps watching for changes.
- Business registration VAT registration confirmed at the source
- VCA / SCC certificates VCA*, VCA**, or equivalent safety certification verified and tracked to expiry
- Sanctions and watchlist screening EU Financial Sanctions, UN Security Council, OFAC, and other official lists, monitored continuously
- Insurance and vendor documents Liability cover and site agreements on file
02 Individuals Per person
Personal checks
Every person the company sends completes their own checks on their phone before they travel to site.
- ID verification ID document verified and matched to the person
- Watchlist screening EU Financial Sanctions, UN Security Council, OFAC, INTERPOL Red Notices, and other official sources
- Safety certificates B-VCA, VOL-VCA, and site-specific safety qualifications uploaded, verified, and tracked to expiry
- Site briefing Site safety rules, hazard awareness, and zone requirements read and confirmed before the first visit
Inherited permissions
Automatically block workers from non-compliant companies on site
If an external company fails a compliance check, access is instantly paused for every worker they employ, preventing unverified personnel from reaching your perimeter and creating compliance risk.
- Continuous monitoring of company status and watchlists
- Access is withdrawn automatically, with no manual check of your badge list
- Instant alerts with root-cause context, keeping teams in control
Zone coverage
One platform for every area on site
From production halls to loading bays, each zone gets the pre-screening, credentials, and access rules it requires.
- Production
Production halls & assembly lines
Restrict entry to pre-screened contractors with verified safety qualifications and production-area training.
- Turnaround
Turnaround & maintenance zones
Handle contractor surges during shutdowns with pre-arrival verification. Cleared crews scan through the gate in ~20 seconds.
- Hazardous
Welding, paint & hazardous work areas
Only workers with the right permit or training for that area can enter welding, paint, and other high-risk zones.
- Loading
Warehouses & loading bays
Pre-verify drivers and delivery crews before they reach your yard, with access limited to the zones and time window you assign.

FAQ
Discover answers to common questions
about 9ID's AI security agent.
Can we set different rules per zone?
Yes. Production halls, maintenance areas, hazardous work zones, and office areas can each require different documents and training. When someone is assigned to a zone, 9ID applies the matching rules automatically.
Does 9ID replace our access control system?
No. Your badge readers and door controllers stay. 9ID runs company and personal compliance checks first, holds clearance status per zone, and connects to your access control system via API. Only people who pass in 9ID are cleared to badge in. When a check fails or a certificate expires, that status flows through to your badge system automatically.
Can we verify VCA and SCC certificates?
Yes. Company-level VCA*, VCA**, and SCC certificates are collected, verified, and tracked to expiry. Personal safety diplomas such as B-VCA and VOL-VCA are handled the same way. Registry checks such as VAT and sanctions screening run automatically against official sources.
What about subcontractors?
You can have a main contractor, subcontractors, and sub-subcontractors. Each company must pass its own checks, and each worker must pass theirs. If any company in the chain fails, its workers cannot enter, even if the firm you contracted directly is compliant.
What happens when a certificate expires?
The worker's status moves to expired. Access is blocked until they renew. Your team gets notified before expiry, not after an auditor finds the gap.
Can we see who is on site right now?
Yes. Live dashboard across sites: who checked in, which zones they are cleared for, and their compliance status.
Does this help during a safety audit?
Yes. Every check-in links to the person, their company, the checks that ran, and the result. Export the record instead of pulling paper folders together.
How is personal data handled?
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access is role-based. Every action is logged. 9ID is GDPR-compliant and certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 27701. A Data Processing Agreement is part of onboarding.
