Imagine yourself as a business owner arriving in the morning, ready to open the doors for your staff with a set of keys in hand. However, upon arrival, you realise that you've brought the wrong set of keys, or worse, you've lost them altogether.
This translates to a loss of time and revenue the business would otherwise have gained. Managing physical keys is cumbersome and poses significant security risks.
With technological advancements such as access control systems, you can mitigate these risks and avoid such scenarios altogether.
Access control systems effectively regulate and monitor movement in and out of the company premises and various designated areas.
By doing so, these systems play a crucial role in safeguarding the building, its occupants, data, and assets, thereby minimizing the risk of unauthorised intrusion while simultaneously ensuring convenient access for authorised personnel and approved visitors.
Below are several compelling reasons why every company should consider implementing an access control system
Security
The main objective of access control systems is to enhance security. These systems bolster the security measures of your company by regulating the movement of individuals in and out of your office premises.
Through the use of credentials such as key cards and biometrics, users are identified, allowing the system to authenticate requests against a database of authorised individuals, thereby preventing unauthorised access
Records
With access control systems, the system records all entry activity, together with identifying information and credential types.
This can help security professionals identify potential incidents and suspects. It can also help teams compile a complete record of building occupants if evacuation is necessary.
Convenience
Access control systems offer convenience by allowing employees to access various areas of the workplace independently, eliminating the need for reliance on a single individual for entry.
They are also superior to traditional keys, which are prone to being lost. Employees can simply utilise their biometrics, PIN, or key cards for seamless navigation within the office environment.
Moreover, access control systems eliminate the need for changing locks in the event of a lost key card. Unlike conventional keys, which necessitate costly lock replacements, lost key cards can be remotely disabled, effectively preventing unauthorised access and enhancing security.
Control Movement
Does your company or business premises have restricted areas? Implementing access control systems can effectively regulate the flow of traffic within and around your facility. This ensures that only authorised personnel, equipped with access codes or pre-approved biometrics, can enter designated areas.
