When you check out a set of keys, you give control of access to the key holder. Now, we understand that your employees don’t have anything dishonest or criminal in mind, but those keys can get lost, copied or stolen. Anything can happen at that point.
A card access security system can fix this problem by easily granting or revoking access for any cardholder. We compiled four more great reasons to use a card access security system at your business.
4 Benefits of a Card Access Security System
1. No one has keys and that’s a good thing – Beyond security, a card access security system simplifies the operation of a business. Old fashioned keys and locks cannot be tracked with accuracy. When keys are lost or stolen the only way to secure the facility, with certainty, is to replace the locks involved and issue a new set of keys to everyone. That is not an efficient system.
2 Accurate reporting of access rights – If a security or safety incident takes place, the first thing you or a responder needs to know is who was in the area and have they been accounted for. Card access tied back to a database will give you a crucial head start with up-to-date information on access rights.
3. Control over all areas of the building – Security reasons exist for restricting access to areas of a facility, but security places second when it comes to the importance of preventing employees from entering a room. Safety is the top priority at any reputable company, and when someone can wander into a dangerous area, you have risk of injury. Access restrictions will let employees know that potential hazards exist.
4. Incorporate the time clock – Now that your access within your facility is safe and secure, go ahead and incorporate more functionality by registering the time of arrival and departure with the time clock system. This adds convenience for managers and employees.
