The Telos ID Difference
Experience and innovation set us apart in identity and access management solutions.
For more than 20 years, Telos ID has protected people, critical facilities, and information assets around the world. We started in 1995 with the largest identity application in the government, assuring the identity of more than 10 million personnel. As the integrator of record for this customer, we gained expertise in biometric and enrollment technologies and solutions.
From there, we formed a relationship with the FBI to perform identity history summary checks (IdHSCs) on individuals. We are one of just 13 FBI-approved channeling partners for fingerprint submission and IdHSC reception.
From this past performance and knowledge base Telos ID was granted Transportation Security Administration (TSA) authority to offer aviation workers’ vetting services – CHRCs, STAs, RAP Back – for U.S. airports and air carriers. Our TSA-approved Designated Aviation Channeling (DAC) service is deployed to airports and air carriers across the U.S. and its territories.
Having won contracts for initial one-time vetting, we are now expanding our offerings and capabilities to provide continuous vetting of individuals. To that end, the FBI and TSA have engaged Telos ID on a pilot basis to be part of the continuous-vetting/always-on FBI Rap Back Program. In addition, due to our reputation with TSA, FBI, and the DoD, we continue to bid on very strategic programs in the United States.
