More and more, the security levels at the entrances to a building are needing to become more secure yet very few businesses can drop a couple of guards at every entrance. This is where we can advise on various access control installation solutions that meet your security needs in Wellington as well as your budget and brand image.
Let’s look at the options.
The Benefits Of An Access Control Installation
Access control includes a wide range of services and equipment such as alarms for doors that are open for too long, alarms for forced entry through various apertures and monitoring movement through apertures. The latter is beneficial not only for security but for marketing and staff reasons as well.
These simple solutions can be combined with video, audio, personnel or AI. Combination solutions work well on campuses or corporates like motor car manufacturing facilities that have multiple buildings.
By adding databases to the overall solution, you can analyse security data for trends and patterns which allows for the ongoing improvement of safety and security.
Access Control System Types
At a high level, three control systems can be proposed. These are then detailed into unique plans for each client. The access and management factors will influence which option you will choose as well as your company size
DAC – Discretionary Access
A discretionary solution offers business owners direct control over access permission for everyone. This does mean, however, that the business owner must know all the security policies and system operations. The business owner, or their proxy, will therefore need to be security-savvy, and trained in security administration and risk management.
MAC – Mandatory Access
This control system allows the business owner, or their proxy, to set up access guidelines and to assign or remove permissions to as many people as they deem necessary. This role is normally appointed to a Security Executive and it is a good option for companies that need stable, consistent security decisions with high levels of security maintained. If confidentiality is one of your requirements then this option is highly suitable.
RBAC – Role-Based Access
This is a self-governing system that grants or denies access based on levels of ‘authority’ or roles in the company e.g. accounting staff won’t be given access to the factory floor.
Having the ability to compartmentalize staff via permission levels not only increases security but it increases safety as well as those that are not trained on how to use a specific space, e.g. a laboratory, will be kept out of harm’s way.
Access Control For Enterprise Businesses
Enterprises tend to have niche needs such as digital integration and scalability. It is not prudent to proceed with an access control installation in Wellington if the solution cannot grow with your business.
A remote management feature is more and more attractive for enterprise businesses as executives flex their WFA (work from anywhere) options.
