One verified identity for every employee - onboarding, login, and building access.

Issuance with Credence lets enterprises issue a single verified workforce credential that onboards a new hire, replaces the password at login, and opens the door to the building - all from the phone the employee already carries. One identity, issued once, trusted across every system.

ISO/IEC 18013-5 · W3C VC 2.0 · OpenID4VCI · FIDO-aligned · FIPS 140-3 Level 3 · ISO 27001

An employee's phone holding one credential, which unlocks three domains: onboarding, verified to an I-9 standard before day one; passwordless login that is phishing-resistant and device-bound; and building access, badge-free entry from the phone.
Credentials for the modern workforce

Identity is the new perimeter

The old enterprise ran on a badge and a password. Neither holds up anymore. Work happens remotely, contractors come and go, and the attack that lands hardest is the one that walks straight through the front door with stolen credentials.

Three pressures are forcing consolidation.

Remote and hybrid work

Onboarding a hire you'll never meet in person means proving identity to an I-9 standard without a desk to sit them at - and doing it in hours, not the first week.

Credential-based attacks

Phished passwords and cloned badges are the leading way attackers get in. Every static secret is a liability; identity that can't be phished is the only durable fix.

Contractor and workforce churn

Temps, vendors, and cross-site staff need access that's provisioned fast and revoked the instant they leave - something plastic badges and manual offboarding never deliver cleanly.

The pain points

From three identity silos to one credential

The status quo makes every enterprise run the same identity three times over.

Three identity silos becoming one credential. Today the same person is proofed three times: HR onboarding proofs identity and documents, IT and SSO re-verify for passwords, and facilities issues a plastic badge. With IwC one employee credential is proofed once and trusted by all three, feeding the HR record as onboarded, login as passwordless, and door access as badge-free.

Onboarding proofed in isolation

HR verifies a new hire's identity and documents, then hands nothing reusable to IT or facilities - who each re-verify or simply trust on faith.

Passwords that get phished

Static secrets are the softest target in the enterprise. Resets cost the help desk real money, and a single phished credential can open the whole network.

Badges that get cloned and never returned

Physical access cards are easy to clone, slow to issue, and routinely walk out the door with departing staff - leaving access open long after someone's gone.

The promise

One identity, issued once, trusted everywhere

IwC collapses onboarding, logical access, and physical access onto a single verified credential.

Onboard in hours, not days

Proof a new hire to an I-9 standard remotely - documents, face match, liveness - and issue a workforce credential before their first morning starts.

Log in without a password

The credential authenticates the employee to company systems with a device-bound key that can't be phished, cloned, or reused on another device.

Open the door with a phone

The same credential grants physical entry - no plastic badge to issue, lose, or clone. Revoke it once and both network and building access close together.

Your trust layer, simplified

Built for enterprise. Powered by open standards.

Run workforce issuance and verification from one platform, backed by open APIs that slot into the identity stack you already have.

The IwC platform, with nothing to stand up first, reached through three surfaces - the IwC Portal, an open API, and Verify with Credence. From it one credential serves both access domains: logical access to networks and applications, and physical access to buildings, doors and gates from the phone the employee carries. Underneath both sits governance and audit - role-based approvals, configurable issuance and revocation, and an append-only audit log of every lifecycle event, exportable into your SIEM and IAM systems.

Why it matters for issuers

The enterprise is both the issuer and the biggest beneficiary - every credential it issues to its own workforce comes straight back as reduced cost and risk.

One revocation closing every access at once. When an employee leaves, a single revoke action closes network access, application access, and building entry together - all three shown as closed.

Provision once, use everywhere

Issue a workforce credential at onboarding and it flows into logical and physical access with no re-provisioning - three systems collapsed into one.

Cut the attack surface

Device-bound, phishing-resistant credentials remove the passwords and cloned badges that most breaches rely on.

Offboard cleanly and instantly

Revoke the credential and network access, application access, and building entry all close in the same moment - no orphaned accounts, no active badges in a drawer.

Extend to contractors and partners

Issue time-boxed credentials to vendors and temps that expire on their own, and to cross-site staff who carry one credential valid at every location.

What you can issue

Enterprises issue several workforce credential types on IwC - each proofed and signed the same way.

Four workforce credential types, all coming off one shared step - proofed and signed the same way, with documents, face match and liveness, then signed in the HSM and bound to the device. The employee identity credential is the core workforce credential, proofed at onboarding, carrying role and entitlements and reusable for both logical and physical access. Access credentials cover logical access for networks and applications and physical access for buildings and secure areas on one device-bound credential. Contractor and vendor credentials are time-boxed for temporary staff and partners and expire automatically with no manual cleanup. Skills and certification badges are issuer-defined credentials for internal training, safety certifications and role qualifications, verifiable across sites and by staffing partners.

How IwC makes it simple

Proof a worker once; the credential carries them through onboarding, login, and entry.

  • The new hire enrolls - documents and a selfie captured in the wallet or your own app
  • Automated checks run - text extraction, face match, liveness, document authentication, a system-of-record lookup, and a fraud screen - before a reviewer adjudicates
  • On approval, the credential is signed in the HSM and bound to the employee's device
  • The credential authenticates the employee to systems and opens doors, releasing only the attribute each check needs

Because IwC issues over OpenID4VCI in both ISO 18013-5 and W3C VC 2.0 formats, the credential works with any conformant wallet, verifier, and access system - not just tools carrying our name.

Workforce confidence

Access that's fast for people, hard for attackers

IwC gives enterprises the tools to move faster while closing the gaps attackers exploit. Employees carry one credential; IT and facilities trust the same verified identity.

Start work on day one

Remote onboarding to an I-9 standard means a verified credential is ready before the first shift - no first-week identity backlog.

Never type a password again

Phishing-resistant, device-bound login removes the single most exploited weakness in the enterprise.

Leave the badge behind

Building entry from the phone means nothing to print, clone, or forget at home.

One identity, every location

Cross-site and hybrid staff carry one credential valid everywhere they work.

Offboard without gaps

A single revocation closes network and building access together, the moment someone leaves.

Reveal only what's needed

Selective disclosure means a door reader confirms entitlement without pulling the employee's full record.

Proven foundations

IwC is built by Credence ID, an ISO 27001-certified organization with digital identity and biometric technology deployed in the field across more than fifteen countries, on cloud infrastructure that meets regulated-industry requirements.

Trusted solutions for modern workplace challenges

Four enterprise use cases. Remote onboarding: verify to an I-9 standard from anywhere, ready before day one. Passwordless: phishing-resistant login, device-bound to the employee. Badge-free entry: open doors from the phone, nothing to print or clone. Contractors: time-boxed access that expires on its own, no cleanup.
