The card reader on the front door is state of the art. The fire exit at the back is propped open every lunchtime so the smokers can get back in. A contractor who finished work in March still has a fob that works. A visitor signs a book nobody reads and is escorted to the lifts, then left to wander. Most access control failures are not about technology. They are about the gaps between systems and habits.
A practical review
We look at how people actually get in and move around your premises: doors, gates, lifts, car parks and the routes that are supposed to be closed. We examine keys, cards and codes, who issues them, how leavers are removed and whether records match reality.
Visitors, contractors and deliveries
These are some of the most common routes for unauthorised entry. Simple, consistent visitor management, with proper identification, escorting and sign-out, closes a surprising number of gaps.
Choosing the right technology
Where new systems are needed, we advise on what will genuinely improve security for your site, then work with specialist installation partners to deliver it, and how it should be integrated with alarms and CCTV.
The human factor
Tailgating, borrowed passes and doors held open out of politeness defeat even the best systems. Our threat awareness training helps staff challenge politely and confidently.
To find out whether your controls really work, commission a physical penetration test. Request a review.
