Every feature NY schools need. Built in from day one.
Not bolted on. Not "coming soon." Every feature below is live and working in New York schools today.
Sex Offender Screening
Every visitor screened against New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) sex offender registry plus all 50 states. Flagged individuals trigger instant alerts to administrators.
NY Driver's License Scanning
AAMVA-compliant scanner reads New York and NY Real ID driver's licenses in under 2 seconds. Supports NYC municipal IDs, IDNYC, and all US government-issued IDs.
Photo Verification
Live selfie captured and matched against ID photo. Liveness detection prevents spoofing. Every badge includes a real-time photo for instant visual verification by staff.
Custom Watchlists & Deny Lists
Manage custody disputes, orders of protection, and banned individuals. When a flagged person scans in, check-in is blocked and administration is alerted immediately.
Emergency Lockdown Mode
One-click lockdown generates real-time headcount of every non-staff person on campus. Critical for first responders during shelter-in-place or active threat scenarios.
Instant Host Notifications
Teachers and staff receive push notifications, SMS, or email the moment their visitor arrives. No more calling classrooms or sending runners down the hall.
Volunteer Pre-Registration
Send invite links for field trip chaperones, guest speakers, or parent volunteers. Background checks completed before arrival — zero lobby wait time.
Automatic Badge Printing
Visitor badges print with photo, host teacher, destination, and expiration time. Compatible with Brother, DYMO, and Zebra printers. Meets NYC DOE visible badge requirements.
District-Wide Analytics
Centralized reporting across all buildings in your district. Track visitor volume, screening alerts, and compliance metrics from a single dashboard — ideal for BOCES and multi-campus districts.
From lobby to badge in 15 seconds.
No training manual needed. If your staff can tap a screen, they can run KyberAccess.

New York driver's license, Real ID, or IDNYC placed on scanner. All data extracted in under 2 seconds.

Badge Printed
Visitor badge with photo, host teacher, and destination prints automatically. Teacher notified instantly.
Trusted by New York schools and districts.
"With 14 buildings in our district, we needed a system that gives us centralized visibility. KyberAccess lets us see who's in every school from one dashboard. Our SAVE compliance documentation went from a binder to a click."
Michael Torres
Director of School Safety, Westchester County School District
"The sex offender screening caught someone during a parent orientation night. The system flagged them silently, alerted our SRO, and the situation was handled without anyone else knowing. That's exactly how it should work."
Sarah Chen
Principal, Suffolk County Elementary
"Our front office staff went from 4-minute check-ins with a clipboard to 15-second scan-and-badge. Parents love it. We love the safety. The state auditor loved our records."
James Williams
Assistant Superintendent, Capital Region BOCES

Questions from New York school administrators.
Does KyberAccess meet Project SAVE requirements?
Yes. KyberAccess provides the visitor identification, screening, and record-keeping capabilities that Project SAVE mandates. Digital visitor logs, background screening, and emergency headcount features directly address SAVE's visitor management requirements.
How does KyberAccess handle NYC DOE Chancellor's Regulations?
KyberAccess scans government-issued photo IDs (including IDNYC), logs all visitor entries and exits with timestamps, prints visitor badges, and maintains searchable digital records — all requirements under Chancellor's Regulation A-412.
Can we deploy across multiple buildings in our district?
Absolutely. KyberAccess supports district-wide deployments with centralized admin, per-building kiosk configurations, and roll-up reporting. Many BOCES and large districts in New York use our multi-building dashboard.
Does it screen against the NY sex offender registry specifically?
Yes. We screen against the New York State DCJS sex offender registry plus all 50 state registries and US territories. Results return in 2-5 seconds with 99.7% accuracy.
What about Alyssa's Law compliance?
While Alyssa's Law in New York requires schools to "consider" silent panic alarm systems, KyberAccess enhances your emergency response capabilities with instant lockdown mode, real-time visitor headcounts, and integration-ready emergency alerting that complements any panic alarm system you choose.
Is the data FERPA compliant?
Yes. All visitor data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). We never store student data on visitor-facing devices. Role-based access ensures staff only see what they need.
