We don’t expect you to just take our word for it — we prove it. The Rock and its platform are held to the highest privacy and security standards, and we invite independent experts to verify we meet them. That means our claims aren’t just marketing copy. They’re tested, measured, and validated.
Independent Technical Testing
Our facial authentication algorithm has been rigorously evaluated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the U.S. government’s gold standard for biometric system testing. NIST confirmed our high accuracy and the negligible risk of misidentification across all demographics.In addition, the Rock’s hardware and software have earned globally recognized certifications from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), including ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018 — benchmarks for information security, cloud security, and personal data protection.
Expert Legal Oversight
We also invest heavily in ongoing reviews from leading data privacy lawyers. These specialists focus on some of the strictest privacy laws in the world — including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), and Texas’s Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (CUBI). They guide us in embedding Privacy by Design into every Rock, reviewing product features for legal compliance, running Data Protection Impact Assessments, and helping ensure our consent flows and policies meet — and often exceed — these legal standards. We are built to comply even if we don’t currently operate in a particular jurisdiction. This forward-thinking approach keeps the Rock ready for the future and compliant wherever our customers do business.
Continuous Accountability
Our certifications aren’t one-time achievements. We maintain them through regular audits, fresh rounds of testing, and constant legal review. If technology evolves or privacy laws change, we adapt quickly — guided by experts who keep us accountable.
Bottom line: Privacy at Alcatraz isn’t just a promise. It’s a proven, verifiable standard we test and retest with the most credible voices in the field — technical, legal, and operational.
How We Check Ourselves FAQs
Q: Who checks your privacy and security claims?
In addition to our internal Rockstars, we undergo testing by independent, respected organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and maintain ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018 certifications. These outside evaluations confirm that our security and privacy protections meet — and often exceed — global standards.
Q: Do you meet all privacy laws?
Yes — including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, BIPA, and Texas CUBI. Even in regions where these laws aren’t in effect, the Rock is built to comply from day one.
Q: What if a law changes or a new one passes?
We don’t wait to be caught off guard. Alcatraz is a proud member of the Security Industry Association (SIA), which keeps us plugged into legislative and regulatory developments as they happen. Our dedicated privacy counsel and officers are privacy law nerds — they track proposed rules and bills before they even reach the House floor. This means we’re already planning and adapting the Rock to stay compliant well before new requirements take effect, no matter where in the world they originate.
Q: Can I see the results of your testing?
While we can’t share all technical details for security reasons, certification status is public, and we provide summaries of our compliance upon request.
Q: Are these tests ongoing?
Yes. We re-certify and retest regularly, ensuring our privacy and security protections stay current.
