Grocery retailer Carrefour has teamed up with software company BIO-key International to improve data security for its employees in Spain.
The retailer entered a strategic partnership with Evolutio, which is BIO-key’s Swivel Secure Europe subsidiary’s partner, to deploy AuthControl Sentry cloud solution from BIO-key.

The solution will enhance and protect the authentication process for the retailer’s 6,500 employees in Spain.
The move is part of Carrefour’s commitment to “operational excellence and data security”, ensuring the protection of critical services and adherence to the highest data security and privacy standards.
Deployed in more than 54 countries, AuthControl Sentry provides businesses with multi-factor authentication (MFA) to avoid unauthorised access to applications and data.
The solution is designed to support a range of architectural requirements. It is implemented across enterprises including retail, healthcare, education and others.
BIO-key Europe managing director Alex Rocha said: “We are honoured to have leading global retailer Carrefour implement our AuthControl Cloud Sentry solution in Spain. This collaboration, facilitated by our partner Evolutio, showcases the security, versatility and reliability of our products in meeting the complex cybersecurity needs of large-scale organisations.
“BIO-key Europe is committed to delivering top-tier security solutions that empower businesses like Carrefour to operate with confidence and resilience in an increasingly digital world. Our AuthControl solution not only enhances operational efficiency but also ensures the utmost security for our customers, their employees and critical data.”
Recently, the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) penalised Majid al Futtaim, the local Carrefour franchise holder, for abusing buyer power over suppliers.
