Additional Information
Understanding access control and the importance for your business
Access control refers to the practice of regulating access to physical locations. This can involve managing door access, limiting entry to a building, or establishing specific access schedules. Businesses often use access control to control employee access based on their roles and restrict access for contractors or visitors to sensitive areas within their premises. Please note – access control systems should only be installed by a qualified access control installer.
The key components of an access control system
Access control systems offer a high level of flexibility, allowing you to control access to a single door or an entire facility. Typically, an electronic terminal manages access to a specific area. These terminals can use proximity-based methods, such as access cards or fobs, or advanced biometric options like fingerprints or facial recognition.
Benefits of implementing an access control system
1. Elimination of Keys: Traditional locks with mechanical keys are still widely used, but they come with potential issues. For instance, if an employee loses their keys, it poses a significant security risk, requiring the replacement of locks and keys. In contrast, electronic access control systems allow for quick adjustments to access permissions when a card or fob is lost or stolen, enhancing security without major disruptions.
2. Audit Trail: Audit trail keys do not provide an audit trail, making it impossible to track who has entered your building and where they have been. Electronic access control systems offer detailed records of entries, exits, and locations visited, providing valuable insights for security and management.
3. Simplified Key Management: In large premises, staff may need to carry multiple keys, leading to confusion and security concerns if keys are lost. Electronic access control eliminates the need for physical keys, as users can access all authorised areas with a single card or fob. Biometric systems, such as fingerprint or facial recognition, offer seamless access control.
4. Enhanced Security and Control: Electronic access control systems offer higher security levels compared to traditional locks. They also provide granular control over access to specific areas within your premises.
5. Customised AccessVisitors can be restricted to specific areas and must be accompanied by authorised personnel to access secure locations. Access can also be restricted based on job roles, ensuring only relevant employees can enter specific areas. Additionally, time-based restrictions can be implemented to limit access during non-working hours.
Types of access control systems
1.Discretionary Access Control (DAC): DAC offers total control over access and is suitable for small properties with limited entry points. However, it can be less restrictive, as individuals with access can grant it to others.
2. Mandatory Access Control (MAC):MAC is the strictest system, commonly used in high-security environments. It grants access based on administrator-defined permissions and requires individual profiles for different access levels.
3. Role-based Action Control (RBAC): RBAC assigns access based on job roles within the organisation, offering simplicity and ease of setup.
4. Rule-Based Access Control: Rule-based systems grant access based on specific rules and restrictions, allowing for flexible access management.
