Implementing effective Access Control Systems in Burlington Commercial Properties

Access control systems are a type of security solution that lets you restrict access to sensitive areas, monitor entry and exit into those areas and help eliminate potential security risks to your business. In today’s blog we will be looking at how you can implement effective Access Control Systems in your Burlington Commercial Properties.

Analyze Your Access Requirements

Before you implement an access control system you should take a look at your building and identify areas that require access control. These can be areas that handle sensitive data, hold valuable assets or simply areas where you want to deny public access. You will also need to consider elements such as the size of your property, the number of employees you want to grant access and any government regulations that may affect your access controls. This information will allow you to make informed decisions about how you would like Access Control Systems to work in your business.

Determine Access Levels

Now that you have figured out your access requirements you need to figure out if you require specific access levels. Access Levels will determine who has access to what, this may be important if you have sensitive technical areas like server rooms or areas that store sensitive financial information that should only be accessible by senior staff.

Implement Access Control Systems

With Access Requirements and Access Levels determined it is time to figure out what kind of Access Control Systems will work best for your property. There are many high tech and low tech Access Control Systems available, these can be things like simple locked doors with specific keys, keycard readers, biometric scanners or credentials on mobile phones. Each of these systems will have their own unique features, for example many keycard readers and biometric scanners can store data so you can see who is coming and going from your access-controlled areas. These sorts of Access Control Systems will need a centralized monitoring and reporting system that can track access events and analyze access patterns. You should also attempt to integrate Access Control Systems with your existing security infrastructure as much as possible as this will create greater security overall.
