You have probably entered a company or premises with an access control system in place. When we arrive at such a place, we have no doubt about its high level of security, right?
Access control systems were created precisely for that purpose: to maximize the security and privacy of any company. If you run a business, you will already know that they are key elements of business security.
From SCATI, in this post we tell you why it is so important to choose the right type of access control in your company.
What is access control?
You already know that it represents a crucial facet of enterprise security, but what exactly is access control?
Well, it is a physical and digital barrier that safeguards an organization’s most valuable resources. This system, essential in today’s modern security landscape, is designed to manage and monitor the flow of people and vehicles in a given space.
Thus, access control makes use of various technologies and processes to ensure that only authorized individuals can enter or leave a facility or access specific areas within it. It also determines when such access can be given, or under what requirements. And we are not only talking about physical facilities, but also about digital areas.
Why is access control important to ensure corporate security?
At this point, surely you already know that access control in companies should not be underestimated, right? By choosing a good access control system for your company, you can:
Protecting your assets
In every company there are critical areas that safeguard valuable assets, whether physical or digital. From expensive equipment to strategic information, it is critical to protect these assets from potential external or internal threats.
What access control ensures is that only authorized persons can access these specific resources. And thanks to these access limitations, you can significantly reduce the risk of loss, damage or misuse of your corporate assets. It is the best way to contribute to the equity integrity of your company.
Prevent theft and vandalism
Theft is one of the major risks to which any type of building, corporate or otherwise, is exposed. But fortunately, the presence of an access control system can serve as a deterrent to all kinds of criminal activity, such as theft, intrusion or even vandalism.
In addition, these systems have the ability to track and record every entry and exit, making it easy for your company to identify suspicious behavior, and if you want to react quickly to a threat and maintain a safe working environment for everyone, they are the perfect solution.
Comply with regulations and standards
