Biometrics Compliance Engineering
Technical compliance engineering for biometric data processing systems: face recognition, fingerprint authentication, voice recognition — against GDPR Article 9 and Article 35.
Engineering compliance for biometric processing systems: technical DPIA support, biometric template encryption, access control for biometric stores, Article 9 safeguards implementation, and audit logging. GDPR Article 9 and Article 35 compliant. Fixed price €2,700–5,400.
📋Why this service exists
Article 9(1) classifies biometric data processed for identification as a special category — requiring explicit consent or specific Article 9(2) exceptions. Article 35 requires a DPIA before deploying biometric systems. Biometric data cannot be changed after a breach (unlike passwords) — making security requirements especially stringent.

- Template encryption implementation
- Biometric store access controls (strict need-to-know)
- Breach detection for biometric stores
