In the physical and information security industry, access control is defined as the selective restriction of access to a place or resource.
Physical Access Control can be achieved by a human through the implementation of mechanical controls such as metal keys, or by constructing physical barriers such as mantraps and fencing. While this type of access control commonly provides effective physical protection, it has limitations that include lack of detailed audit trail, as well as metal keys that can be surreptitiously copied and end up in the wrong hands. At SAS, we design and implement access control systems that allow our customers to utilize metal keys, when they are needed.
At our core, we also design state-of the-art Electronic Access Control systems that enable the securing of facilities while providing a complete audit trail of all in-and-out activities. We implement electronic access control systems to provide an additional layer of security that physical access control systems do not afford. These types of systems consist of four main parts: software/computers, credentials, an access-controlled entry, and physical hardware (including controllers, card readers, electronic locks and door-position switches).
A well-designed, role-based access control system includes end-to-end encryption and secure credentials. SAS offers a number of professional options, including facial recognition/biometrics, MiFare, SEOS, HID iClass, and a variety of mobile phone credentials that best suit our customers’ environment. When needed, SAS can provide multi-factor authentication to protect high-security facilities, assets and access doors. We can also install access control readers on vehicle gates, within parking garages and at access points to cafeterias. Commercial access control system data can also be used by companies to improve business operations and regulate employee flow throughout sensitive areas.
