Idesco - Ensure secure access 

Idesco produces advanced RFID card readers for access control and identification systems. The systems are built on open standards where Idesco can tailor the solutions based on customers’ unique requirements.

Idesco was founded in 1989 as one of the world’s first commercial companies in the area of RFID technology and currently focuses on high-security solutions for access control and identification systems. For example, this involves being able to reliably identify that the right people and vehicles are granted access to a building or using RFID technology to ensure that the right person has access to specific equipment.

Open standards that deliver customer benefits

Idesco develops the products in close collaboration with its customers – both retailers and end users – including in the form of customised card readers and tags, as well as apps for managing mobile access cards. The fact that that Idesco’s card readers are built on open standards, such as MIFARE DESFire and OSDPv2, is a major advantage for customers. They thus gain full ownership of their security keys and avoid vendor lock-in. Idesco is certified for several ISO standards, such as ISO 27001, which is another example of the company’s robust and continually evolving information security management, which will become important when the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) comes into force.
