In today’s world, it’s sad but, it’s hard to know who to trust. With employee theft rates on the rise, now more than ever, it’s critical for business owners and managers to be in control of access to their building. According to a recent survey, in 2012 there were 71,095 dishonest employees apprehended!**
With businesses being vulnerable to internal, as well as external threats it’s important to understand the benefits of Access Control Systems. Not only can access control systems track and restrict who goes where and when, these systems also only allow authorized users to enter your facility or designated areas within your facility. There are many benefits to having an access control system, and here are 10 of them!
10 benefits of Sonitrol's access control system:
· Helps reduce the possibility of internal and external threats
· Can track and limit entry to buildings
· Offers protection for valuable information and data
· No more lost keys or the expense of installing new locks when an employee leaves
· If an employee no longer works at your facility, their card or fob is easily deactivated
· Provides a safer work environment (limiting potential workplace violence)
· Users/employees are less likely to set off false alarms
· Automatically regulating access reduces the need for onsite security personnel
· Access control decreases your liability and risk
· Allows you the ability to know who goes where in your facility and when
By integrating access control with your security it allows you to be in control of your building’s access! Even more, Sonitrol can manage and monitor your system 24 hours a day from our Monitoring Center. We will also keep a record of cardholders and generate entry and exit reports. If you wish, you can view time, attendance and scheduling reports; disarm a user's access card or assign access levels; program scheduled door locks/unlocks; and perform other management functions at our password-protected, secure user website, mySonitrol.com.
