IDSS is a Massachusetts-based company founded in 2012 by security professionals who sought to address rising traveler volumes and gaps in conventional checkpoint screening. It develops imaging-based security systems for airports and other aviation-security checkpoints, aiming to improve threat detection without compromising passenger flow. Its flagship product, the DETECT 1000, is a checkpoint CT scanner that emphasizes high-quality images and automated threat detection, and it carries TSA and ECAC certifications. The firm emphasizes a design approach that extends the useful life of imaging platforms and aims to maximize return on investment for customers by enabling ongoing improvements through internal and external resources. IDSS positions itself within the aviation security ecosystem through open-architecture concepts and interoperability. In 2022 it integrated its DETECT 1000 with SeeTrue's AI solution to enable automated screening in aviation security contexts, and it has collaborated with The Chertoff Group on open-architecture imaging standards based on DICOS technology to ensure interoperability with CT systems globally. A development in 2023 involved Tek84, Inc. announcing the acquisition of IDSS, indicating a change in ownership. The company is based in Boxborough, Massachusetts, and operates as a small to mid-sized firm.
