From the clear advantage of stopping intruders to increasing productivity by streamlining timekeeping and payroll, access control systems
offer OKC and Tulsa businesses so many benefits. Access control is
undoubtedly a vital part of business in Oklahoma today. But how do
you most effectively implement the access control system itself?
Most businesses will need to develop a specific policy for their access
control system. This will guide and organize the execution of
the access control system into the company environment. Having a
well-developed policy will help you anticipate and therefore minimize any
complications in the implementation of the system. What would an access
control policy like this include?
Access control in a Tulsa or OKC company involves not just authorizing the credentials of a person but
really developing an entire infrastructure of access control procedures
and how best to incorporate these into the company environment.
So,
of course you will need to set up a chain of command of authorized
administrators to manage access rights in the system. You could have one
or a group of administrators who assign access rights while a separate
person or group periodically audits or reviews the system and all
related activity.
Clear rules and procedures will also need to be
established for assigning access rights to employees, any adjustments
that may need to be made to those rights in the future, and rescinding
access rights. These processes will need to be developed for various
groups of users as well – from employees, visitors, contractors, and
vendors. These different groups will need to be well-defined and
processes developed for even the temporary assigning of rights at
various times.
Often,
it’s suggested to create an access control policy based on “least
privilege,” or limiting access to just the minimum amount of resources
needed for the person to fulfill their job functions. This will help to
minimize risks and ensure your access control system can work
effectively.
Each user can be given a written statement of their
particular access control rights and the responsibilities that go along
with those rights. Often, users will sign an agreement that they will
keep all credentials confidential.
Is there a procedure in place
to make sure access is not given until all authorization steps have
correctly taken place? Are accurate records being kept of all users?
Having administrators to review the access control credentials and
process as a kind of “checks and balances” is vital to an effective access control system.
Creating
an effective access control policy for your company can take some time
and organization to develop, but it can prove very valuable in the
long-run. Mac Systems can design an advanced access control system to
work with your particular business and industry. Call us today for more
