The Hidden Risks of Manual Airport Credentialing
Security credentialing is the backbone of airport operations. Yet, many airports still rely on paper forms, disconnected systems, and outdated manual processes for identity management. The result?

- Compliance gaps from TSA and federal regulations
- Missed audit trails and incomplete vetting
- Delays in employee access and onboarding
