Non-centralised, time-consuming granting and withdrawal of physical access rights in different legacy systems
Access Management
Does your organisation operate across multiple locations with various unconnected systems (such as access control, parking management, etc.)?
Managing authorisations across these systems can often be challenging, time-consuming, and costly. Additionally, maintaining a clear overview of all authorisations within the organisation can become increasingly complex and incorrect authorisations are a security risk.
Common challenges
Inconsistent risk controls associated with multiple physical access control systems
Negative user experience: Employees and visitors/contractors must follow different access procedures, depending on the respective location and installed systems
Ensuring that all installed systems comply with corporate and official regulations, e.g. ISO, DORA, NIS2 is difficult
It is time to integrate these unconnected systems into our PIAM Suite, using the Access Management Module. This allows physical access permissions to be managed organisation-wide and across all sites, regardless of the systems in place.
The outcome of this consolidation:
an efficient, streamlined solution with numerous benefits.
Main advantages
Centralised, cross-site physical access management
Lifecycle management of authorisations
Automated process for assignment/withdrawal of authorisations
Multi-level workflows for request and approval of authorisations
Increased traceability, i.e. compliance with company & official policies
Higher security by centralised reporting
Full overview of all authorisations anytime
Cost reduction due to reduced administration effort (streamlined process)
How it works
Rule Engine
It will evaluate the complexity of conditions and attributes for your people and automatically assign their access permissions.
You have flexibility to create highly detailed and dynamic permission models eliminating the need for pre-defined roles (like with role-based access systems).
In high security environments where assigning permissions manually is a challenge, you can simplify and re-risk the process based on employee attributes integrated with HR systems.
It will automatically adapt to changes for you, based on attributes or time-based needs ensuring permissions remain accurate all without your manual intervention: saving your administrative overhead and enhancing security.
Workflow Engine
Using the Workflow Engine, you can create individual workflows for requesting, approving and assignment of authorisations to persons.
Your workflows may be non-interactive with automated approval, up to complex models requiring approval by managers, asset owners or verifiers.
When managing higher risks, you can build suitable and more complex rules.
Workflow example
Your workflow models can be connected to specific locations and access control profiles.
By configuring the Workflow Engine, you can ensure compliance with both local policies and requirements, as well as cross-site policies.
