Participation Agreement
The CEAS program is made possible through agreements between BNET and your local municipality or State. BNET acts as the facilitator of these programs by enrolling participants and delivering credentials that are recognized by local law enforcement. Program rules and requirements are developed by government and enforced through the Participation Agreement between BNET and your organization.
CEAS Subscription
Your CEAS subscription will allow you to assign credentials to a predetermined amount of individuals based on your Tier Level. Your Subscription is valid for one year after your enrollment is approved.
BNet provides the Corporate Emergency Access System (CEAS) as a service on an Annual Subscription basis. Annual subscriptions are invoiced at enrollment and are renewable annually after that, making participation easier to budget an administer.
Company size determines your annual subscription cost. Participating companies are assigned an Enrollment Tier based on the amount of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees. Sponsoring governments set credential allotments based on local metrics.
* For companies with over 2000 employees, please contact BNET support for more information.
