Access Control Systems

Choosing an access management system is a major decision and undertaking. An access system by itself is an investment that increases security, enhances overall building integrity and improves operational efficiency.
 
Organizations of any size can benefit from card-based access control systems that automatically manage access points iwth the wave, swipe or touch of a card. IdentiSys consultants can help you determine the right access control and security management system for your organization.
 
Basic steps to effectively implement a security plan:
  • Identify the most serious risks or threats to people, assets and property
  • Determine access authorizations of personnel
  • Scrutinize the geography of hte facility, leaving no easy means of intrusion
  • Integrate access control with other building control systems

Access Control Considerations

  1. How many doors of access control do you need? Do you have one building or many to be secured?
  2. What type of card and reader technologies do you want to use (e.g. magnetic strip, proximity, biometric, contact and contactless smart cards)?
  3. How many PCs will be used to view or program the software? Where will they be located?
  4. What are your specific requirements for the software management system (e.g. security notifications, interface to HR or IT database, reporting tools)?
Which technologies you use will depend on the systems in your building(s). And you may use more than one technology too (in fact, mixing and matching technologies is very common). IdentiSys offers a wide range of technology-enabled access control systems, cards and key fobs.
 
Whether you need to start a new access control program or update an existing one, we can help.
