FAQs

What is a PIAM platform?

A PIAM (Physical Identity & Access Management) platform centralizes identity data and manages the entire lifecycle of physical access for employees, contractors, and visitors. It automates onboarding, approvals, badge issuance, access changes, and deactivations based on defined policies.

How does IDfunction PIAM for Airports integrate various security systems?

IDfunction PIAM for Airports connects PACS, government vetting databases, training systems, airline partner systems, HR platforms, and directory services via modular integration building blocks. The goal is to unify identity data and automate security-critical steps without replacing existing systems.

How does IDfunction PIAM for Airports support complex approval workflows at the airport?

IDfunction PIAM for Airports can model multi-level approval chains involving airport authorities, government security agencies, airlines, ground handlers, and other stakeholders. Each step — review, STA/AVSEC checks, clearances, training validation — can be configured, tracked, and audited using modular workflow building blocks.

How customizable is IDfunction PIAM for Airports?

Workflows are built using modular building blocks, which allow teams to map airport-specific processes such as multi-agency approvals, STA/AVSEC checks, training prerequisites, and badge lifecycle rules without custom code.

How long does the implementation of IDfunction PIAM for Airports take?

Implementation time depends on the number of systems, approval chains, and regulatory requirements. Most airports can quickly implement core workflows and expand with further integrations and processes over time.

What is the difference between IDfunction PIAM and IDfunction for Airports?

IDfunction PIAM is the core platform for modeling and automating identity and access workflows across a wide range of organizations. IDfunction for Airports is a specialized version for airport environments where access decisions require multi-level approvals, government checks, recurring training controls, and strict compliance. Both products use the same workflow engine and building blocks, but IDfunction for Airports includes additional features for STA/AVSEC checks, zone-based access rules, multi-agency approval chains, airline and contractor coordination, badging office processes, and integration with aviation systems.

Is IDfunction PIAM for Airports based on RBAC or ABAC processes?

Both. The platform supports RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) for standard roles and zones, as well as ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) for more complex conditions such as certifications, training status, employer type, operational need, or background check status.

What is the system architecture of IDfunction PIAM for Airports?

The platform utilizes a multi-layered architecture: identity data, workflow logic, integration interfaces, and access rules work together to support the complex approval processes and compliance requirements of the aviation industry.
