Tuesday Tip - Access Control

Access control is something that is absolutely required in all fields and scales as a fundamental component of security. From everything like data centers and secure areas to factories, apartments, offices, construction sites, hospitals, schools and in banks it is widely used to physically protect property or information from unauthorized people, hence minimizing risk to the business or organization.

Productivity

Security and productivity are not often associated with one another, however in this case they are closely connected. The link is using the data and minimizing the impact from all security systems. An example is to use access control to enter an office, but by installing a secondary device when you exit, you can use the information as a time/attendance system and even identify if there are still people in the office in the event of an emergency such as a fire.

Access Control is an excellent way to monitor productivity. Just because someone arrives at work on time, or even early, and appears to work a full eight hours, doesn’t mean they are being productive. By installing access control for both entry and exit, you can easily get reports that show how many times an employee leaves to take phone calls, go for a snack or a smoke and the results would really surprise you.
