The Cost of Not Knowing Who Walks Through Your Door
Clery Act violations cost up to $67,544 per infraction. A single campus incident involving a known threat who entered undetected can generate litigation costs exceeding $10 million. BIPA class actions have exceeded $650 million in settlements. Safience is the risk reduction your carrier and your board are asking for.
Department of Education penalties per Clery Act infraction. Multiple infractions per incident are common.
Cumulative class action settlements under BIPA for biometric data collection. Safience stores zero biometric templates.
No video infrastructure. No massive storage. No video management platforms. Deploys on existing campus network.
Pilot deployments go live in days, not months. No server rooms. No long procurement cycles. No construction.
Cost of Doing Nothing vs. Safience Investment
| Financial Dimension | Current Exposure | With Safience |
|---|---|---|
| Clery Act Penalties | Up to $67,544 per infraction; reactive documentation increases violation risk | Proactive detection with audit trails demonstrates prevention; fundamentally different compliance posture |
| Negligence Litigation | $10M+ exposure per incident involving a known threat who entered undetected | Documented proactive identification; defensible record showing known threats were detected at entry |
| BIPA / Biometric Privacy | $1,000-$5,000 per violation; class action exposure for any biometric template storage | Zero biometric templates stored; regulatory trigger eliminated by architecture |
| Insurance Premiums | Risk priced on reactive security posture | Quantifiable risk reduction for underwriting conversations; documented proactive capability |
| Infrastructure Cost | Millions in video expansion, storage, server rooms, VMS licenses | PoE sensors on existing network; no video infrastructure; no server rooms |
| Deployment Timeline | Months of construction and integration | Pilot in days; campus-wide scaling incremental |
| Ongoing Maintenance | On-premises servers, storage expansion, VMS licensing, IT staff | Cloud-hosted; firmware updates managed remotely; zero on-campus IT burden |
The Financial Case for Identity Intelligence
Risk Reduction, Not Just Documentation
Your current security investment documents incidents after they occur. Safience identifies known threats at the point of entry. The difference is not incremental. It is categorical. You are converting a documentation expense into a risk reduction asset with a defensible audit trail.
Dual Mission ROI
Every dollar invested in RTIS threat detection simultaneously invests in RVIS victim recovery at no additional cost. When your institution deploys Safience, it joins a national network searching for missing and endangered persons. That is a community impact metric your board and your donors can see.
Incremental Scaling
Start with a pilot at your highest-risk entry points — residence halls, child-care centers, research facilities. Measure results. Scale based on demonstrated value. No all-or-nothing procurement. No multi-year construction project.
Workforce Integrity Savings
eMotive continuous criminal monitoring replaces expensive periodic background re-checks with real-time alerting. Dual face+name matching eliminates the false positives that waste HR investigation hours. The cost per monitored employee drops while the coverage timeline extends from annual to continuous.
Complete Platform Overview
Safience is a unified platform, not a collection of point solutions. A single sensor deployment runs every capability simultaneously.
