MyTAG Proof of Identity is a secure ID card system which cannot be copied or cloned. The patented technology brings identity cards and security into the modern age, helping to protect people and property.
Each personalised ID card contains a trusted tag, and when it is tapped against a mobile phone or other NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled device, there is instant proof that it is valid and genuine. When the card is tapped, the NFC device receives a URL with a unique cryptographic code from the tag, which displays all the data and pictures on the device.
Identity can hence be visually verified against the photo on the card plus any detailed personal information, training records and equipment use permits can be displayed.
MyTAG Proof of Identity provides instant notification to determine it is the real secure ID card used (versus someone who has copied or shared the URL code, or manually typed the URL into a web browser). This functionality prevents a URL from being used multiple times without a physical tap, as verification will fail, and also makes the tag impossible to clone.
When the tag is tapped its location is identified, so every valid tap implies “proof of presence” at a known time, allowing time and attendance applications.
Today, ID cards are used by in a huge range of situations, from driving licenses, building entry systems and construction sites, to membership organisations and clubs. The challenge is that most existing cards can be copied or cloned, allowing misuse, and causing safety and security risks.
MyTAG Proof of Identity is covered by US patent No:10,102,364, entitled “Verification of both identification and presence over a network.”

MyTAG Proof of Identity replaces time consuming manual and paper based identity authentication systems with a quick and easy to use cloud base. It also replaces standard ID cards with a system which cannot be copied or cloned. The authentication and timestamped GPS location of individuals can be quickly and easily verified, and real-time and historical information accessed in an instant.
Being cloud based, Proof of Identity is simple to install and easy to use. There is no requirement to integrate into existing IT systems and no Apps required, which allows you to be up and running quickly. It is also intuitive to use, so employees require little training, and the low cost of installation and operation mean that you can start to reap the benefits immediately.
MyTAG Key and Asset management will improve management of your portable assets, saving you time and money, and allowing you to demonstrate the professionalism of your processes and systems.
MyTAG uses secure Near Field Communication (NFC) tags with cloud based software, which allows companies to manage and monitor keys (or other portable assets) that are logged in and out of business premises. This simple to use system provides you with the whereabouts of every key you manage. The same system is also used for bicycles, heaters and any other portable items that need to be managed.
All physical keys are tagged with a unique NFC key tag. When a key is used, it is tapped on the tablet to launch the checkout interface and information about who took the key and when it is due back is recorded. When the key is returned, it is tapped again on the tablet to check it back into the system. Automatic reminders are issued to follow up on keys which are overdue for return.
MyTAG replaces outdated and inefficient processes. Replacing paper based log books makes the key management process faster and more accurate, and reduces the risk of human error. Being careless with keys is a huge potential security risk, which can damage your reputation should things go wrong.
The easy to use, cloud based system is simple to install, with no requirement to integrate into existing IT systems, allowing you to be up and running quickly. It is intuitive to use, so employees and contractors require little training, and the low cost of installation and operation mean that you can start to reap the benefits immediately.
The MyTAG Key and Asset Management dashboard allows you to access real time information on the whereabouts of every key you manage, from wherever you are. You can instantly find whether a key has been checked out, taken away from your business premises, by whom, and why they have taken it.
The system can send reminders via text or email about unreturned keys, allowing you to follow up quickly, reducing the risk of loss. This saves time hunting for missing keys, and the cost of key replacement when they cannot be found.
MyTAG Proof of Compliance allows you to demonstrate that you have complied with all relevant legislation and regulations, ensuring that your building and its occupants are kept safe. Regular testing of water hygiene, portable appliances, fire alarms, fire extinguishers and sprinklers is required, as well as maintenance of lifts and air conditioning systems. Whether you are a building manager, facilities manager or service provider, proof of compliance is likely to be an important part of your role.
MyTAG secure NFC tags, which cannot be cloned or copied, are placed on each of the items that need to be tested or maintained. On carrying out the check, the engineer taps the tag with his NFC enabled-phone or other device, generating a cryptographic code which the device receives via a URL. The MyTAG system determines that the URL has been provided when someone has physically tapped the HID Trusted Tag, and verifies the user’s ID. If the URL has been copied or cloned verification will not occur. GPRS also proves that portable items, such as fire extinguishers, are in their correct locations. Details of the testing are immediately available via the MyTAG system, and historical data can be accessed 24/7/365 for reporting or auditing.
MyTAG helps you ensure that you comply with statutory compliance testing requirements and that your records are always accurate and up to date. This allows you to demonstrate your duty of care via robust processes, as well as removing the risk of fine or possible prosecution. MyTAG can also capture equipment performance data and allows the user the option to escalate this data and relevant images to line management via the MyTAG real-time dashboard.
MyTAG Proof of Compliance replaces time consuming manual and paper based systems with a quick and easy to use electronic one. Demonstrating compliance with all relevant regulations across a building is straightforward, and exception reporting allows any areas of risk to be rapidly identified and corrected. Existing asset registers can be uploaded into the diary system and the audit timetable can be set by asset type or individually. Exception reporting and senior management escalation for missed audits is automated within the MyTAG system.
The easy to use, cloud based system is simple to install, with no requirement to integrate into existing IT systems, allowing you to be up and running quickly. It is intuitive to use, so employees and contractors require little training, and the low cost of installation and operation mean that you can start to reap the benefits immediately.
MyTAG Proof of Presence provides trusted proof that a person was at a given location at specific times, allowing proof of servicing times, security patrols, visit periods and other time/location based events. An efficient and effective solution for managing services, MyTAG allows you to demonstrate professionalism and compliance as well as saving you time and money.
MyTAG Secure NFC Tags are installed as checkpoints at key building locations, or on fixed assets and each tag is activated with the tap of a low cost Near Field Communication (NFC) device. This simple tap is all that the person needs to deliver trusted proof of presence at a given checkpoint. If a report is required, a proprietary application can be engaged on the mobile device, providing immediate feedback to team members or managers, via photo, video or text entries. This allows action to be taken quickly, whatever the issue.
MyTAG Secure NFC Tags are patented and cannot be copied or cloned, unlike bar codes, QR codes or standard NFC tags. Proof of presence is guaranteed, using NFC and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, allowing you to demonstrate full compliance with servicing commitments. Legal, warranty and contractual obligations can be proven, whether they relate to buildings or their assets, and whether they are carried out by employees or contractors.
MyTAG replaces time consuming manual and paper based systems, with a quick and easy to use electronic one. Timestamped proof of presence at the start and end of service visits provides verifiable proof of servicing times, meaning contractors are only paid for the work carried out, and ensuring the correct servicing frequencies.
The MyTAG dashboard allows you to access real time and historical management information from wherever you are. Service or maintenance histories can quickly be downloaded, without the need to search log books or archives. This allows a quick response to any queries or issues, and provides an instant overview of current activities.
The easy to use, cloud based system is simple to install, with no requirement to integrate into existing IT systems, allowing you to be up and running quickly. It is intuitive to use, so employees and contractors require little training, and the low cost of installation and operation mean that you can start to reap the benefits immediately.
MyTAG Proof of Presence is the base of our simple and easy to use Time and Attendance system. Ideal for part-time and temporary employees, everyone is assigned an individual tag, which is scanned when they start and end their shift. An accurate record of hours worked can be automatically inputted into the payroll system, or transferred to Excel if required, supporting efficient contractor management.

MyTAG Air Quality Monitor (AirQ) helps businesses and other organisations to measure indoor quality and to take steps to make improvements, where required.
Indoor air quality is a concern because it can impact the health, comfort, wellbeing and productivity of building occupants. MyTAG Air Quality Monitor uses sensors to measure PM2.5 (particulate matter measuring <2.5 micrometres in diameter), CO2, temperature and humidity, allowing indoor air quality to be measured in real time. Multiple sensors can be positioned around the building and the MyTAG software collects the data, allowing variations across the building and with time to be monitored and analysed. The information can be accessed online or via an App, providing building users with easy access to details about their working environment.
The system makes measuring indoor air quality simple and inexpensive to do in real time and the App also allows access to the world’s largest global database of outdoor air quality data.
Data analysis and evaluation, by time and location, and from building to building allows opportunities to improve indoor air quality to be identified. These can sometimes be straightforward, such as adding plants to areas to help reduce CO2 levels, and sometimes more involved, such as changing the air flow into buildings in areas of high traffic density.
MyTAG Air Quality Monitor measures PM2.5 which is widely regarded as the pollutant to pose the greatest hazard to human health, given that its tiny size can penetrate deep into the human lungs and beyond, into the bloodstream. Particulate pollution is primarily a product of diesel vehicles, tyre and brake dust, and solid fuel-burning, and can also come from boilers and kitchen equipment inside a building itself.
CO2 (an indication of confinement) is a less hazardous, but an equally important indoor pollutant to measure. When rooms are not properly ventilated, human respiration can build up quickly, having a negative impact on concentration and tiredness, whilst creating an environment that allows bacteria and viruses to spread more easily, increasing the risk of illness.
