In the not so distant past business and security personal had little control over who had access to any given key.  Up until recently, key control existed separately from other security components.  Integrated systems have made it possible, by way of technology advancements in security management, to integrate key control as part of a facility’s networked security system.  Being the main component of effective access control, key control is essential to an integrated security system.

Key control is exceedingly important for anyone overseeing security at any organization that holds sensitive information and data such as conference centers, government agencies, control rooms, corporate buildings. It is also crucial element for correctional facilities, health care institutions, and educational facilities; in which the safety and actions of employees, inmates, patients, and students are concerned.  Security personnel always need to know who has possession of a key at every given moment.  If the keys are lost or stolen security is compromised and breached causing them to pay the expense of having to change both the lock and key to ensure complete safety.  To eliminate costly inconvenience, an institution should move to an electronic system that improves perimeter and access security.

Today, the most advanced key management solutions have open protocols to enable connectivity to access control and other systems provided by a range of integration partners.  A system can be connected to devices networked via Ethernet.  Critical information about key control can now be communicated across multiple systems, enabling additional security actions to be taken.  IP access control eliminates associated costs for cabling and labor as well as the operational convenience of being able to manage doors, readers and cards from any computer connected to the Internet.

From small commercial to massive industrial sites, there is a need for access control that has the ability to manage your assets and the people that frequent your site.  Access control provides you with more options and more control over your business thus giving you the complete control to manage the factors such as visitors, employees, vehicles, and integrate with the unexpected such as fire or intrusion.

Here are a few basic requirements to keep in mind when selecting an integrated access control system provider:

• Scalability: An access control system must be able to accommodate the growth of the organization it is protecting.
• Systems Integration: A security system should have a single, unified database, a single graphical user interface (GUI) and a single body of application code. The security management system that can accommodate this type of integration allows the security manager to monitor all systems from one convenient location.
• Open System: Seamless integration as defined above cannot exist unless the systems involved are “open.” Open architecture is one of the most important criteria for selecting the right security management system. An “open system” implies that every major component of the system, every communication protocol and every interface is designed for easy integration with other systems and components.
