About Us
Welcome to BioConnect
OUR MISSION
Enabling Trust in the Connected World
Founded in Toronto, Canada in 2010. Fast forward to today with offices now throughout the US & Canada and 1,600 customers globally.
For over 12 years, BioConnect has been providing biometric access control solutions to verify a person’s identity and protect your most valuable assets.
BioConnect was the first to bring to market a biometric mobile authenticator for physical access. Allowing the enterprise to secure their physical doors and spaces with the use of biometric identity verification right from a mobile device.
When BioConnect introduced the Trust Platform, it enabled the enterprise to finally connect all of their existing access control systems, biometric readers, mobile authenticators and small-space access control into one unified system that spans the entire organization.
In 2021, BioConnect purchased MedixSafe, a long time BioConnect partner and supplier of solutions for secure access to Narcotics Safes, Cabinets and Lockers. Together BioConnect and MedixSafe are uniquely positioned to offer solutions to the toughest security problems that an organization faces, providing security at scale that establishes a strong level of trust by unifying a person’s identity across physical, IoT and digital applications.
