# SYNAC.IO > SYNAC.IO is a pre-commercial Physical and Digital Identity & Access Management (IAM) platform currently in development. It is designed to combine AI governance, deepfake liveness defense, and industry-specific compliance into a unified Zero Trust security infrastructure — managing both physical facility access (doors, RFID, NFC badges) and digital system access (SSO, MFA, PAM) through a single AI-driven control plane. Products are not yet commercially deployed. ## What is SYNAC.IO? SYNAC.IO is a pre-registration startup project started in 2026, operated by Khondakar Readul Islam (SYNAC.IO, Darmstadt, Germany). It is building AI-augmented identity and access management products for organizations that must secure physical buildings, digital systems, and AI agent workflows simultaneously. SYNAC.IO extends IAM into three areas most platforms ignore: 1. Physical access control (PIAM) — unified with digital identity 2. AI system governance — policy management and compliance for AI tools and agents 3. Deepfake and synthetic media defense — biometric liveness detection at the identity layer **Status:** All products are currently in development and not yet commercially available. This website is a pre-launch demonstration. ## Products (In Development) ### PIAM — Physical Identity & Access Management (IAM CORE) SYNAC.IO PIAM is a Physical Identity & Access Management platform designed to unify door controllers, RFID cards, and mobile NFC credentials into one admin panel. It is designed to control who enters which room, revoke access instantly, and apply AI-powered role intelligence across an entire facility. How does PIAM differ from traditional IAM? Traditional IAM manages digital access to software systems. PIAM (Physical Identity & Access Management) controls physical facility access — who opens which door, which badge is active, which NFC credential is valid. SYNAC.IO is designed to merge both into one unified identity record per person. - Designed for 50 million+ identities - Target access decision latency: under 5 milliseconds - Planned compliance alignment: EU AI Act (Annex III), GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001, EN 60839 ### AI Policy Manager (AI ENGINE) SYNAC.IO AI Policy Manager is designed as an intelligent policy orchestration engine that will use machine learning to auto-generate, enforce, and continuously refine access policies, targeting up to 80% reduction in manual policy management overhead. How does SYNAC.IO aim to help with EU AI Act compliance? The AI Policy Manager is designed to monitor AI tools and systems across an organization, auto-generate access and usage policies aligned with EU AI Act obligations, enforce them, and produce compliance reports covering the August 2026 EU AI Act enforcement deadline. - Designed to monitor 50+ AI tools simultaneously - Planned compliance alignment: EU AI Act (Aug 2026), ISO 42001, GDPR Article 22, NIST AI RMF ### AI Compliance Auditor (AI ENGINE) SYNAC.IO AI Compliance Auditor is designed as an automated compliance monitoring platform with real-time audit trails, anomaly detection, and regulatory framework mapping.

PIAM stands for Physical Identity & Access Management. It is a security system designed to manage and control who can physically enter facilities, rooms, and restricted areas using digital identity records, RFID cards, mobile NFC credentials, and AI-powered role intelligence — integrated with digital IAM in a unified platform. ### How is SYNAC.IO different from Okta, Microsoft Entra, or SailPoint? SYNAC.IO is designed to extend beyond digital-only IAM. Where Okta, Microsoft Entra, and SailPoint manage access to software and cloud services, SYNAC.IO is also designed to manage physical building access (PIAM), autonomous system authorization, deepfake biometric defense, and AI governance for EU AI Act compliance — all in a single platform. Products are currently in development. ### Is SYNAC.IO designed for EU AI Act compliance? Yes. SYNAC.IO is being built with EU AI Act compliance as a core design principle. The AI Policy Manager, AI Compliance Auditor, and Autonomous System Authorization are specifically designed to support EU AI Act obligations including high-risk AI system requirements (Annex III), human oversight (Article 14), transparency, and audit trail requirements. Prior to any commercial deployment, full conformity assessments will be conducted. ### Does SYNAC.IO support Zero Trust architecture? Yes. SYNAC.IO is designed on Zero Trust principles — never trust, always verify. Every identity (human, autonomous system, device) is designed to authenticate and be authorized for every access request, whether physical or digital. ### Can SYNAC.IO detect AI-generated deepfakes? The Deepfake Liveness Defense module is being developed to detect synthetic media (AI-generated faces), voice clones, and 3D mask presentation attacks, targeting enterprise-grade deterministic accuracy accuracy. ## Use Cases (Planned) - Replacing legacy IAM (Active Directory, LDAP) with AI-augmented Zero Trust access governance - Preparing for EU AI Act compliance before the August 2026 enforcement deadline - Securing AI agent workflows (LLM pipelines, RPA bots) with authorization and audit logging - Unifying physical building access and digital system access under one identity record - HIPAA and EU AI Act dual compliance for healthcare organizations - Sovereign, air-gapped AI governance for government agencies - Preventing deepfake-based identity fraud at authentication - Embedding IAM and policy APIs into DevOps CI/CD pipelines ## Planned Compliance Coverage These are design targets and planned certifications — not current certifications or active compliance status.
