Physical Access Systems in sync with your business

Did you know, 90% of physical access control systems contain out-of-date access permissions​?

Identities and access rights are not kept in sync with people and business systems. Updates depend on error-prone manual processes.

1. Map It – Start with Visibility of Physical Access

Advanced analytics software can connect from disparate systems, including Human Resources (HR), Active Directory (AD), Learning Management System (LMS) and Access Control Systems (PACS) solutions, and visualize them through one pane of glass.

The software wraps all relevant contextual data around each identity. What access does a given person have across all facilities? Which AD groups does that person belong to? What training courses did that person successfully pass? This is the foundation needed to accurately validate whether identities are in sync and access rights are set correctly.

2. Measure It – Identify Unauthorized Access

Translate safety, security and compliance policies into simple daily policy checks. Whether it is essential security controls like ensuring that no past employees still have active access, or internal safety policies that require certain certifications to access high-risk areas, you need this type of software to automate the identification of access compliance and security risks across your organization.

Daily notifications alert your personnel to outdated physical access data, unused badges, training requirements, potential compliance infractions and more. Access Chaos starts to disappear as you address these findings.

3. Monitor It – Proactively Review Access

User access reviews are the best practice method to remove unnecessary access and to avoid access creep. Many organizations have implemented this best practice through manual spreadsheets. While better than nothing, this highly manual way of doing user access reviews is cumbersome and expensive.
