Lower Password Administration Costs
On average, organizations spend $150 per employee/per year* on help desk costs driven by forgotten and expired passwords. In addition, productivity is lost when people are “locked out” of their systems. OneTouch takes passwords and password management out of the hands of users. Every authentication takes place with a simple touch of a finger. After deploying OneTouch, the Office of the Secretary of Defense reported a 90% reduction in password related help desk calls** – along with high user satisfaction.

Single Action Shutdown
The tight integration of OneTouch and Active Directory creates a unified biometric solution solution that enables administrators to shut down a user's entire access profile with a single action.

Streamline Regulatory Compliance, Improve Auditability
OneTouch’s fingerprint-based audit capability helps organizations achieve compliance with the following acts:

• USA Patriot Act of 2001
• Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
• HIPAA – the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
• FTC Financial Modernization Act of 1999 (Gramm-Leach-Bliley)
• Basel II Accord for financial service companies
• California Security Breach Law (SB 1386) for organizations with customers in California

Increased Security
Password based authentication is susceptible to hacking, spoofing and lax security practices by employees. OneTouch replaces passwords with fingerprint authentication assuring that only approved users can gain access to networks and applications. In addition, OneTouch supports multiple credential authentication.

Easy to Install
OneTouch is easy for IT administrators to integrate into new or existing Active Directory networks most often without the need for outside services or integration support.

Convenience
Employees strongly prefer the convenience of OneTouch fingerprint authentication to passwords.
