Access Control Security

Control Access to Your Premises

Access control security systems are used to restrict entry to people authorized to enter a building or controlled area. GPS Security describes a basic system as including a computerized controller, tracking app and electronic lock.

The level of access control required can differ significantly between organizations. GPS Security identifies organization size as an important consideration, with a large enterprise having different requirements from a smaller environment such as a retail store.

GPS Security provides end-to-end service for the design, installation and maintenance of access control systems. Its professionals have experience working with both small businesses and large enterprises.

System Selection

Match Security to Your Site

The right level of access control security depends on how the organization and premises operate. GPS Security identifies organization size as an important factor because a large enterprise can require a different system from a retail store.

Site activity also affects the type of security required. An open site that allows many people to enter throughout the day presents different monitoring needs from an office with more predictable employee arrival and departure.

GPS Security identifies Mobile Security Trailers as a surveillance option for open sites, while its existing guidance notes that some office environments may be monitored by a security guard alone. The site environment should therefore be considered alongside electronic access requirements.

Security Planning

How to Evaluate Access Control

01

Consider Organization Size

Start with the size of the business or organization, since GPS Security identifies this as a key factor in determining access requirements.

02

Review the Site Type

Consider whether the premises is an office, retail environment, open site or larger enterprise setting.

03

Look at Entry Activity

Review how people enter the premises, including whether access is continuous or follows predictable daily patterns.

04

Identify the Security Approach

Use those site factors to consider the level of access control, surveillance or guard oversight appropriate to the environment.

05

Plan System Support

GPS Security provides design, installation and maintenance services for access control security systems once electronic access control is required.
