The company holds SOC 2, HIPAA, and CJIS certifications and serves state and local governments, municipalities, higher education institutions, and regulated clients in financial services and insurance.

Scan-Optics' easy.forward platform and workflow automation tools will integrate into Daida's service offerings. The combined entity now serves over 600 state and local government clients nationally.
