About Access Control
Access control replaces traditional keys with auditable credentials — proximity cards, mobile credentials, biometric readers, or one-time PINs. Modern installations are managed through cloud dashboards: revoke a contractor's access in seconds, log every door event, and integrate with HR systems or visitor management. UK providers cover both standalone single-door deployments and enterprise multi-site rollouts.
Common use cases
- Office building tracking employee and contractor access
- Industrial site with restricted-area zoning
- Block of flats or residential development
- School or healthcare premises
- Self-storage or shared workspace
What to look for in a provider
- Cloud-managed dashboard with audit logs and remote credential issue
- Encrypted credentials (DESFire EV2 or higher) — avoid 125kHz cards
- GDPR-compliant biometric handling if face / fingerprint used
- Anti-tailgate / anti-passback features for high-security zones
- Integration with intruder alarm and CCTV for unified events
