Employee and company data safety is one of a businesses top concerns. Companies are striving for ways to keep their employees safe and company information out of unauthorized hands. One of the ways that companies are achieving this is through Access Control.
What is Access control?
Access control is a system that allows specific employees to enter certain areas of the building. It can be set up at employee only entrances to ensure that those who are not supposed to enter have to go to the main entrance. It can also be used for secure data areas where only employees with clearance are allowed to enter.
Eliminate security guards and door locks
Access control eliminates the need for a security guard to be posted at every door. Employees gain entrance to the building, or to specific areas using a key card or their fingerprint. Admins can distinguish which employee is allowed into which area, at what time, and how many times each month. By allowing access control to take over your security needs, it eliminates human error and the need for keys which can be lost and cost money to replace. Access control can also monitor an area to make sure that when a employee scans their card or uses their fingerprint ID, that they are the only person permitted into the area. If another person tries to piggyback off of their entry, an alarm will sound to notify proper personnel.
Access control helps with time and attendance and other things too
Access control can do more than just grant access to certain areas. Your system can be integrated to where one key card is used to track time and attendance, employee identification, and cashless vending.
Access control can help in an emergency situation
In the event that there is a fire or another emergency where the building must be evacuated, the doors will quickly become unlocked, allowing quick escape. Also, the system keeps an attendance of who has scanned into the building at the time of the incident, allowing you to ensure all employees have safely vacated the building.
