Access control for offices and other business premises has always been both a priority and a challenge. The protection of assets, data, and people is essential to a company’s growth and the confidence of the workforce. Security systems have had to evolve with the traditional in and out of workers at 9am and 5pm has gradually made way for more flexible working arrangements.
Door entry systems for commercial buildings need to offer robust security as well as the flexibility to accommodate office workers, building staff, customers, job applicants, and visitors over a wide period of time. And it’s not just the front door that security managers need to think about; very often, different people need different access permissions to certain floors or areas depending on their role.

Add their car’s number plate to the user profile and you’re done. Simple, hassle-free access control.
Biometrics in offices
Convenience is usually king in access control systems. The easier a system is for users to navigate, the greater the compliance and the better the outcomes. While carrying an access credential in card or tag form or having it embedded into your smartphone is indeed convenient, there are still risks associated with this. All of these items could be lost, stolen, or damaged, leaving the user unable to access the building and creating potential for security breaches.
Fingerprint, facial, and iris recognition are becoming increasingly popular in a wide range of environments, including access control in commercial offices. Take advantage of an extra level of security as faces and fingerprints cannot be cloned.
Seamless integration in access control for businesses
ATRIUM access control offers a native integration with ievo biometric fingerprint readers. The integration allows sites operating an ATRIUM system to seamlessly incorporate ievo fingerprint readers. Users have their fingerprint data registered as an access credential within ATRIUM. When they present their finger to the ievo reader, the system identifies the user in ATRIUM and then grants or denies access depending on the user’s entry rights.
