Why Every Business Needs Access Control

December 31, 2018

Access control systems are an integral part of a business’ every day security and operations. These systems help businesses every day to protect their valuable assets, protect against internal and external threats, and much more. If you’re thinking about an access control system for your business, here is everything you need to know to see if access control systems are right for your company.

Access Control Features

Restrict Entry and Exit

Access control allows you to control who and when someone can enter and exit the building, and from what location. You can also control who can enter certain areas within your building and when they can enter those areas. This reduces your chance of being burglarized by not allowing access to anyone without an I.D. badge or visitor badge.

Timestamp

The electronic locks automatically keep a record of each entry, exit, and attempt. This allows you to see who and when someone was in the building or inside an area within the building. This reduces the internal risk of possible theft from your employees and it also tells you who is on time and who is late to work.

Emergency Lock Down

With remote access control, you can lock all of your doors immediately and easily in case of an emergency. If there is a wanted suspect on the run near your building, you can quickly ensure your building and your employees are safe from harm.

Electronic Locks

By using an electronic locking system, you don’t have the hassle of re-keying your locks when an employee leaves or gets terminated. Also, if an I.D. badge is stolen or lost, you can quickly deactivate the badge and have your company issue you a new one. This saves the company time and money, and it protects you from potential losses due to a burglary.

Temporary Access

You can grant access to your vendors or visitors by giving them a temporary badge. This allows your workers to continue working without the hassle of monitoring what the visitor does, as well as not having to open and close the door every time they come in or out.
