What Security Shells Infotech does
Security Shells Infotech Pvt. Ltd. is a Pune-based, privately held enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) system integrator and software vendor operating as an HID Global Gold Physical Access Partner and OEM. The company supplies, integrates, and supports HID hardware (Aero X1100/X1150 controllers, Signo and Amico readers, Mobile Access credentials, and Seos cards) across India, the Middle East, and South-East Asia through regional entities in Pune, Dubai (established 2022), and Singapore (established 2023). It sells to enterprise buyers in banking, IT-ITES, industrial, oil & gas, power, government, IT parks, and data centres, with named deployments at Mizuho Bank, HDFC Bank, IDFC Bank, SBI, Yes Bank, Axis Bank, HMEL, SAIPEM, Bharat Forge, Tata Power SED, LTTS, and others.
The core product is the proprietary iSecure platform, an enterprise IAM suite that unifies physical access control, time and attendance, visitor management (iTrace), vehicle access with ANPR (iAccessVAM), contract labour management (CLMS), cafeteria management (iCafe), mobile identity (iSecure MOBIL), and an identity-analytics layer (iSecure Identity-IA) on a single identity database and audit trail. The platform uses the open OSDP secure-channel protocol for controller-reader communication and integrates with 20+ OEMs across biometrics (IDEMIA, Suprema, VIRDI, Matrix), video management (Hanwha, Milestone, PELCO, ISS, VAIDIO), video analytics (IntelliVision), elevator destination control (OTIS DCS, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, Fujitec), and enterprise identity stacks (Microsoft Azure AD/Entra ID via SCIM, Active Directory, UKG Kronos).
Revenue mechanics span three streams: HID hardware supply (procurement margins on genuine HID product), iSecure software licensing (subscription / module-based recurring revenue), and professional services (design, deployment, integration, and managed services). Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales out of the three regional offices — no reseller or channel network — supported by a multilingual SEO- and case-study-driven website covering 20 verticals and 40+ cities. The company claims 10M+ identities secured, 25K+ devices deployed, 450+ cities served, and 6B+ transactions processed, though revenue, headcount growth, and ownership details are not publicly disclosed.

Security Shells Infotech product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Security Shells Infotech designs, deploys and manages enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems built on HID hardware (Aero controllers, Signo/Amico readers, Mobile Access credentials) unified under its proprietary iSecure software platform. As an HID Gold Physical Access Partner and OEM, the company supplies genuine HID hardware and integrates it with access control, time and attendance, visitor management, vehicle access, contract labour management, cafeteria management, and identity analytics modules for enterprise customers across India, the Middle East and South-East Asia.
Product overview
Security Shells Infotech offers a platform-plus-modules architecture built on HID hardware, unified by the iSecure IAM platform. The core iSecure platform provides enterprise identity, access control and time management, around which seven add-on modules operate: iSecure MOBIL (mobile identity app), iSecure Identity-IA (identity analytics), iTrace (visitor management), iAccessVAM (vehicle access/ANPR), iCafe (cashless cafeteria), and CLMS (contract labour management). HID hardware is the physical access layer — HID Aero X1100/X1150 controllers, HID Signo/Amico multi-technology readers, HID Mobile Access smartphone credentials and Seos secure card/fob credentials. All hardware and modules share one identity database and one audit trail within iSecure.
