The Trust Layer for Airside

Airports are physically secure but identity-blind. Once passengers clear a checkpoint or workers pass between background checks, they become invisible. Safience changes that.

10 Operational Zones Continuous Credentialing <100KB Payloads
The Identity Gap

Physically Secure. Identity Blind.

TSA screens for explosives, not identity. A fugitive with a valid ID clears the checkpoint and disappears into the sterile area. A trafficking victim traveling with legitimate documents is invisible. A ramp worker arrested last week in another state walks onto the tarmac for their next shift.

The workforce blind spot is staggering: 50,000+ badged workers at major hubs go completely unmonitored between multi-year background check cycles. An arrest on Day 2 goes undetected until Year 2.

Traditional CCTV compounds the problem—4K video streaming chokes bandwidth, creates massive hacking liability, and produces footage that’s only useful forensically, after harm has occurred.

The Architectural Breakthrough

Solving the Bandwidth Choke

Traditional facial recognition relies on video streaming that chokes airport networks. Safience edge sensors transmit a single sub-100KB image—enabling unlimited scalability with zero performance degradation.

Zones 1–3

Physical Perimeter & Operations

Fence lines, cargo terminals, and maintenance facilities—where the most transient and contractor-heavy workforces operate with the least ongoing oversight.

1

Perimeter Intrusion & Unauthorized Access

Fence lines • Runway approach roads • Maintenance access gates
The Gap

Current perimeter camera systems require a human to observe a breach. By the time one is spotted, the intruder’s identity is completely unknown.

Safience Capability

Autonomous real-time alerts before entry is attempted. Screens approaching individuals against custom, owner-exclusive threat lists (X-LSTs)—including known perimeter intrusion activists or trespassed individuals—without adding them to general warrant databases.

2

Cargo & Freight Operations

Cargo terminals • Air freight facilities • AOA cargo access
The Gap

Cargo employs the most transient, contractor-heavy workforce in the airside environment. Insider-facilitated cargo crime—narcotics, weapons smuggling—is heavily documented, yet this workforce is rarely monitored continuously.

Safience Capability

Continuous monitoring for every credentialed contractor. Access points screened against deep organized crime network data sourced directly from DEA, ICE, and CBP partners, catching cartel affiliates that commercial HR databases miss.

3

Aircraft Maintenance & MRO

Maintenance hangars • MRO facilities • Engine test cells
The Gap

A compromised avionics technician has direct physical access to aircraft systems. Third-party MRO facilities frequently lack direct TSA security accountability, leaving this highly technical workforce unmonitored post-hire.

Safience Capability

Continuously monitors A&P certificate holders between FAA renewal cycles. Screens against FBI and DEA integrations for sabotage-related criminal histories, export control violations, and counterintelligence flags.

Zones 4–6

Classified Operations & Workforce Credentialing

Government/military aviation, continuous badge monitoring, and foreign national workforce oversight—where identity intelligence is most critical and least deployed.

4

Government, Military & Diplomatic Aviation

Military FBOs • Government terminals • VIP ramps • SCIF areas
The Gap

Shared workforces service both commercial and classified operations. Deploying standard video surveillance near classified government or military operations creates unacceptable legal and operational complications.

Safience Capability

Operates with zero surveillance footprint—no video, no audio, no stored imagery, transmitting <100KB payloads. Alerts bypass commercial security and route directly to the Federal Security Coordinator or military security officers.

5

Aviation Worker Continuous Credentialing

SIDA • AOA • All airside badge checkpoints
The Gap

TSA mandates require physical screening for explosives, but no ongoing criminal activity monitoring exists for 50,000+ badged workers between multi-year background check cycles.

Safience Capability

Leverages 50,000+ new daily records from 18,000+ agencies. A ramp agent arrested in another state generates an alert to the airport authority within hours, before their next shift. Instantly stops revoked credentials and tailgating.

6

Foreign National & Mixed-Origin Workforce

All airside badge classes at international hubs
The Gap

Standard background checks at hire do not monitor ongoing criminal activity in home jurisdictions, nor do they flag federal immigration holds or visa revocations that occur post-hire.

Safience Capability

Monitors against federal law enforcement records—ICE, CBP, FBI. Changes in visa status, entry permit revocations, or federal indictments generate actionable alerts long before the worker’s annual badge renewal.

Zones 7–10

Checkpoints, Transit & Sterile Areas

TSA checkpoints, inter-terminal transit, international transfer corridors, and the final boarding bridge choke point—where identity intelligence completes the security picture.

7

TSA Checkpoint & Screener Monitoring

Screening checkpoints • Security operations centers
The Gap

Federal TSA employees are monitored by OPM, but contracted checkpoint support staff and co-located airport authority employees are not. Insider compromise at checkpoints is a documented, recurring reality.

Safience Capability

Continuously monitors contracted support staff. Integrates TSA’s own law enforcement referrals and documented checkpoint compromise histories to inform future screening—without deploying invasive video surveillance at the checkpoint.

8

Multi-Modal Airside Transit

Inter-terminal APMs • Airside buses • Connector tunnels
The Gap

These are the least monitored environments in the secured area. A person who piggybacks an access point or enters with a revoked credential must use these arteries, but standard systems cannot track them.

Safience Capability

Operating on <100KB per image, sensors deploy easily on existing transit networks, acting as internal choke points to identify breached individuals. Simultaneously screens for transiting trafficking victims under coercion.

9

International Transfer (Pre-Customs)

Transfer corridors • Pre-customs transit • Airside transit hotels
The Gap

Passengers here are in identity limbo—cleared by the origin country but not yet screened by destination customs. This is a primary, documented vector for trafficking victims transiting under coercion.

Safience Capability

The ONLY deployed system capable of screening this corridor. References INTERPOL-acknowledged victim records and NCMEC cross-border data within UMbRA, identifying victims before they reach the destination customs point.

10

Sterile Area & Boarding Bridge

Gate concourses • Boarding bridges • Sterile area
The Gap

TSA screens for explosives, not identity. A fugitive with valid ID or a trafficking victim with legitimate travel documents clears TSA and completely disappears into the sprawling sterile area.

Safience Capability

The final activation node: the boarding bridge choke point. Screens for active warrants, BOLOs, and sex offender non-compliance in <60 seconds. Identifies transiting victims. Gives officers legally defensible, sub-5-second prosecutorial documentation at the gate.

The Other Half: Landside Security

Airside is only half the story. Before passengers ever reach a checkpoint, they move through completely unscreened public space—parking structures, rideshare zones, taxi queues, rental counters, and terminal entrances.

See how Safience closes the 10 critical landside gaps where criminal exploitation actually occurs.
