Need to learn? Check our good practice tools
Over the past 20 years we have developed, in close consultation with the Institute members, a range of good practice tools to help guide you through your biometric implementation. Hundreds of years of expertise from those who have been through their biometrics journey have been brought together in these reference and guiding documents which include amongst others the Privacy Guidelines, the Three Laws of Biometrics, the Top 10 Vulnerability Questions and most importantly the Good Practice Framework.
Need to connect? Attend our events and training
We have run hundreds of events over the past 20 years to facilitate the important dialogue on the responsible use, provide networking opportunities and a platform for the sharing of information and experiences. This includes an annual conference in Australia, Europe, UK and USA as well as regular workshops on specific topics such as technology or privacy and the very popular Member Meetings, now also in an online format.
