You're the Manager: Access Control
September 16, 2019
For a commercial setting, it is essential to think about security in order to keep your business safe from theft, vandalism or other criminal expenses. One major relation is to who has access to the property and different departments of your facility. A Sonitrol access control system can regulate and limit access to both of these.
Being in Control
Being a manager or business owner, employee safety is a concern. Access control systems provide employees with secure and safe entry and exit to their workplace and interior offices. At Sonitrol, we install and monitor electronic ID cards and door readers that let you control which areas employees and visitors can access. By having that control, you can change access easily and never have to pay hefty costs to re-key your facility.
Physical VS. Logical
The main two different types of access control are broken down to physical and logical.
Physical Access Control refers to who has access to the physical company location, business building or office.
Logical Access Control refers to who has access to computer data. Logical access control is used more internally which limits access to employees and guest authorization to passwords, electronic keys, pins, and other secured information or areas.
