ZKTeco USA and Armatura earn OSDP Verified certification

ATLANTA—ZKTeco USA, a provider of biometric verification and access control technology, announced, along with its sister company Armatura, that its latest line of access control products is OSDP Verified and can help customers improve data security.

The company’s newly released list of OSDP Verified products includes the EP series of access control readers, six Atlas series controllers, three IO Boards, and four new access control panels scheduled for release in 2026.

The importance of being OSDP Verified has intensified over the years, and it involves a comprehensive testing program that verifies whether a device conforms to the Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) standard.

This achievement is a testament to ZKTeco’s unwavering philosophy as a forward-thinking company at the forefront of security, the company said.

“When it comes to access control, it’s all about keeping our customers’ data secure at all times; as what good is security if your own devices are not secure,” said Esteban Pastor, product manager at ZKTeco USA.

This third-party validation from the Security Industry Association (SIA) confirms stringent adherence to the OSDP standard and its Secure profile, as specified in version 2.2.2.

“We are proud to offer customers a way to elevate their security with our commitment to high-security and interoperability among readers and controllers,” Pastor said. “Our products have undergone testing to ensure they conform to the SIA OSDP standards, and we look forward to helping our customers better protect their data.”

Wiegand is associated with security vulnerabilities stemming from its reliance on outdated technology, which may compromise user safety. A major vulnerability found is the lack of encryption, which makes it extremely easy for a perpetrator to hack or tamper with the access control system.

“With a myriad of security vulnerabilities found with Wiegand, it’s extremely important that organizations look for manufacturers that are OSDP Verified,” states Pastor. “This ensures that data is secure when encrypted from the access control reader back to the panel.”

ZKTeco USA and Armatura continue to raise the bar on access control technology and understand the importance of complying with OSDP standards to help create a more secure world for all.
