Why Teams Switch
Organizations Are Making the Move
Enterprise Teams Switch Because...
- WhosOnLocation has no background screening — can't verify visitors against watchlists or registries
- No AAMVA ID verification for government-issued ID validation
- Per-location pricing gets prohibitive for organizations with 5+ sites
- No AI-powered analytics or predictive visitor insights
- Limited compliance certifications — no SOC 2 Type II for enterprise audits
US Organizations Switch Because...
- WhosOnLocation is based in New Zealand — US support and compliance gaps
- No FERPA compliance tools for US schools and universities
- No HIPAA compliance features for US healthcare organizations
- No sex offender registry screening for US databases
- KyberAccess is built for the US regulatory landscape with local support
"WhosOnLocation worked for our Auckland office but fell short when we expanded to the US. We needed FERPA compliance for our school partnerships and screening for regulated facilities. KyberAccess handles all of it with one platform."
