Access control redesigned for today’s challenges
In a context where physical security is closely linked to cybersecurity, access control is no longer just a badge or key system. It becomes a strategic device to protect employees, assets and data. For multi-site, industrial, tertiary or public companies, it is essential to be able to manage flows, access rights and movement traceability, all in real time and centrally.
A modern access control system meets today’s requirements for compliance, operational efficiency and resilience. The challenge is no longer to lock, but to manage access in a smart, scalable and integrated way.
Better manage internal flows and sensitive access
The access control allows to define precise rules: who can access which zone, at which times, with what authorization. It limits the risks of unauthorized presence in sensitive areas (server rooms, laboratories, confidential areas). In the event of an audit or incident, access data can be used to establish full traceability.
This level of control strengthens internal security and allows for a dynamic adjustment of entitlements according to positions, schedules or levels of responsibility. It thus becomes an HR management tool as much as a safety device.
Unify physical security and IT infrastructure
Modern access control systems are now interoperable with company IT tools: Active Directory, monitoring solutions, alarm systems, HR or visitor management software. This interconnection allows centralized and automated access management. When an employee leaves the company, their badge is automatically deactivated. When a new entrant is registered, their rights are configured according to a predefined profile.
Access control is integrated into a broader global security strategy, aligned with the organization’s IT governance.
Protect people, property and data
The first objective of an access control system is to ensure the security of individuals and the confidentiality of activities. In a context where sensitive data is often hosted on site or accessible from physical workstations, access control becomes an extension of the cybersecurity policy. I
It prevents intrusions, ensures real-time monitoring and reduces the risks associated with human error (e.g. doors left open, shared badges...). It is part of a compliance (ISO 27001, GDPR, HDS) and employer responsibility approach.
Adopt a scalable, connected and adapted solution for your sites
Access control must not be static. It must adapt to changes in your workforce, your premises and your business.
