Core offering

Super Recognisers International identifies, trains, and deploys individuals with innate superior face recognition abilities for law enforcement, military, and private security clients. The company offers professional accreditation courses (entry-level online and advanced professional Licentiate-level programmes), aptitude testing, and a portfolio of investigation services including CCTV trawling, post-event analysis, linked series identification, live deployment at events, consultancy, image identification, and historical/family photo identification.

Product overview

Super Recognisers International operates as a services and training company offering a portfolio of face recognition services alongside professional accreditation courses. The offering consists of two main pillars: (1) Training programmes including an entry-level Online Super Recogniser Course and an Advanced Super Recogniser Course for Professionals (Licentiate level), both including aptitude testing; and (2) Professional investigation and security services including CCTV Trawling, Post Event CCTV Analysis, Consultancy Services, Linked Series Identification, Live Event Deployment, Image Identification, and Historical/Family Identification. The company positions human Super Recognisers as superior to automated facial recognition software, particularly for poor-quality CCTV images.

Direct peers

• FaceFirst: US-based facial recognition platform focused on security and loss prevention for retail, law enforcement, and live events. Provides automated face matching rather than human super recognisers, but targets identical customer verticals (police, venues, retail) and same use cases (suspect identification, banned person alerts).
• Clearview AI: AI facial recognition company built on a 30B+ image database, widely used by US and international law enforcement for suspect identification. Direct substitute for SRI's identification and CCTV analysis services, although AI-based rather than human-based.
• Pangiam (Trueface): Biometric and facial recognition technology provider for aviation, security, and government. Offers AI-based face matching competing directly with SRI for border control, identity verification, and security deployments.

Emerging players

• Stid Security: European access control and biometric identification provider offering facial recognition for high-security sites and events, overlapping with SRI's live deployment and event security use cases.

Others

• HireRight: Global background screening and identity verification provider for employment. Adjacent comparison given SRI's screening/testing service line and historical/family identification use cases; not a direct facial recognition competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Thales Group (Gemalto): Global defense and security conglomerate providing biometric identification solutions for border control, identity documents, and law enforcement. Competes for similar enterprise security RFPs as SRI but as part of a massive defense and aerospace portfolio.
• IDEMIA: Global biometrics leader providing facial recognition for border control, law enforcement, and identity verification at massive scale (governments, airports). Serves the same public-sector security buyer as SRI but with substantially broader product portfolio and geographic reach.
• Cognitec Systems: German facial recognition vendor specializing in biometric identification for border management, law enforcement, and commercial security. Direct competitor to SRI's automated face matching capabilities in the public security segment.
• NEC Corporation (NeoFace): Global technology incumbent offering NeoFace facial recognition platform widely deployed by police forces and immigration agencies. Competes for the same enterprise security and law enforcement budget as SRI, but as part of a much larger technology portfolio.

Regional players

• OSI Global (formerly Open Security Exchange): Security consultancy providing advisory, training, and investigation services to government and corporate clients, with overlap to SRI's consultancy and CCTV review offerings though broader in scope.
