Biometric data that never has to leave your premises.
NCheck stores encrypted templates, not photos or fingerprint images — and you choose whether they live in our cloud or entirely on your own servers. Security is built into the architecture, not bolted on as a policy.
Control at every level.
Encrypted templates, never images
Faces, fingerprints and irises are converted to mathematical templates and encrypted at rest. A template cannot be turned back into a picture.
Your infrastructure, your rules
Run the server on Windows or Docker inside your own network. Nothing depends on an external cloud — online, offline or fully air-gapped.
Role-based access and audit trail
Administrators, supervisors and employees see only what their role allows. Every change to records and settings is logged.
Retention you control
Set how long biometric templates and attendance events are kept, and delete an employee’s data on request.
Liveness detection
Face check-in includes anti-spoofing tested against ISO/IEC 30107, so a photo or video of an employee does not pass.
Algorithms with a public record
Matching runs on Neurotechnology engines evaluated in NIST FRVT and other independent benchmarks for more than two decades.
Compliance by architecture, not just policy.
Because nothing is forced into an external cloud, NCheck answers the question cloud-only tools cannot: where does the biometric data actually live? With on-premises deployment the answer is simple — on your servers, in your country, under your access controls.
- Full on-premises deployment, or EU-hosted cloud
- Encrypted biometric templates only — raw images are never stored
- Customer-owned data and infrastructure
- Online, offline or air-gapped operation
- Retention controls and deletion on request
- Access controls and a full audit trail
Built for organisations that cannot outsource trust.
Government bodies, hospitals, banks, mining and energy operators and high-security sites choose NCheck because they can keep biometric data inside their own perimeter — and still give employees a fast, contactless check-in. See how your industry uses it →
Common questions
How does a biometric attendance system work?
Employees enrol once. At clock-in, NCheck captures their face or contactless fingerprint, matches it to an encrypted template, and logs an accurate, time-stamped record — on a phone, tablet, IP camera or terminal.
Is biometric data secure, and who can access it?
With NCheck’s on-premises deployment, biometric data is stored as encrypted templates on your own servers — never in a third-party cloud. Only your organisation can access it, which supports GDPR and data-residency requirements.
What if a fingerprint or face won’t scan (gloves, masks, dust)?
NCheck is multi-modal: if one method can’t be used, it falls back to another. Contactless face and fingerprint avoid the failures of touch sensors in dusty, gloved or industrial conditions.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. NCheck records attendance offline and syncs automatically when a connection returns — ideal for construction sites, fields and remote locations.
Do we need to buy special hardware?
No. NCheck runs on employees’ own phones and tablets, on IP cameras, or on dedicated biometric terminals — your choice, no lock-in.
How does biometric attendance save money?
By tying every clock-in to a verified person, it ends buddy punching and timesheet padding, so you pay only for hours actually worked — and accurate records cut payroll errors and disputes.
Does it integrate with payroll and HR systems?
Yes. NCheck exports accurate work hours, overtime and reports for your payroll and HR systems.
Is biometric attendance GDPR-compliant and legal?
Used correctly — with consent, encrypted templates and clear retention limits — yes. NCheck’s on-premises option keeps biometric data under your control, supporting GDPR and similar regulations. (This is general information, not legal advice.)
Can NCheck also handle access control and visitors?
Yes. NCheck unifies time & attendance, access control (doors and gates) and visitor management on one biometric platform.
