Access Control Systems

Access control is a security practice that systematizes the personnel or entity that can access or use resources in a regulated environment. The resources in question may be of sensitive or secured nature and access control is a fundamental concept in security and corporate management that minimizes risk to the business or organization.

From a physical perspective, an access control system limits access to rooms, buildings, campuses, facilities and physical assets, ensuring that the pre-specified level of security is maintained in an organization.

A well designed electronic access control systems utilizes user credentials, access card readers, cameras, biometric readers, auditing and reports to track individual or employee access to restricted business locations and secured areas, such as data centers, filing or records room. With Integrated Corporation’s access control systems, these facilities can be fitted with access control panels, turnstiles or speedgates to restrict entry to specific rooms and buildings as well as alarms and access locks to prevent unauthorized access or operations.

Integrated’s access control systems specialize in RBAC and MAC systems. Our systems perform identification, authentication and authorization of users and entities by evaluating required security credentials that can include smartcards, personal identification numbers (PINs), biometric scans such as face, fingerprint or palm, real-time generated QR codes or other authentication factors. Multi-factor authentication, which requires two or more authentication factors, is often an important part of layered defense to protect access control systems. Our integrated solution performs security controls by identifying an individual or entity, verifying that the person is who they claim to be, and authorizing the access level and set of actions associated with the person granted access rights.

Our system can help you manage employee records and set up access control, allowing flexible authorization for staff to enter specific areas at designated times. Employee attendance records are easy to access and can be stored locally or in the cloud. Scheduling, shift changes, and tracking of tardiness or early departures are simple to set up, with clear and comprehensive reports.

If you have an existing HR or admin system, we can integrate your data and systems and streamline your workflow.

Additionally, we can integrate all your current and future data with third-party HR management systems, eliminating the hassle and potential errors of manual data handling.

For higher security requirements, our system offers features such as dual authentication, multi-door interlocking, duress passwords, and integration with alarm and CCTV systems for remote monitoring and management control.

Access control systems can be classified in three ways: Role-Based Access Control or Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC), Mandatory Access Control (MAC), and Discretionary Access Control (DAC). They vary in their levels of security and stringency.

Access control cards work in conjunction with an access control system to grant or restrict access as required. Most access cards look similar to a credit card or ID card. Typically, an access card also has a photo of the person assigned the access right for ease of verification by security personnel.

Although access control cards typically look similar, there are a number of different types of cards and standards. They also vary in their security levels and cost. Some common examples are contactless smart cards, magnetic stripe cards and barcode cards. Contactless smart cards offer a higher security level and are more robust against data theft, duplication or cloning.

Examples of contactless smart cards include MIFARE Classic, iClass, Proximity, DESFire and FeliCa. Each card format varies in its encryption technology and frequency. For example, iClass cards are equipped with encryption and mutual authentication, it is therefore thought to be more secure than 13.56 Mhz MIFARE Classic cards or 125 kHz Proximity cards. DESFire offers further improved flexibility and security with modern encryption technology but can be hindered by its relatively higher cost.

Many organizations choose to use smart cards combined with a second authentication factor to boost the security of their access control systems. Integrated Corporation can help you design a multi-factor security feature to suit your organization such as PIN + Card, Face + Card, or even NFC + Face. Our goal is to design the perfect solution for you in order to help your organization eliminate the risks of card data theft, cloning or impersonation associated with simple smart card access control solutions.
