Organize, Simplify, & Optimize Credential Management

Ensuring the security of buildings and facilities is paramount, and one of the cornerstones to any truly effective security program is the credentialing systems. Whether they are mechanical keys, access cards, fobs, codes, or mobile, these mechanical systems continue to be the most economical solution for establishing access control within a facility.

However, those systems also have inherent challenges making them difficult to manage and maintain over time as each are independent. Each mechanical system is flawless the first day of installation but through day-to-day operation and continual interaction of access points, credentials, and users which all change over time, the credentials tracking accuracy can degrade quickly, compromising security and operational efficiency.

Many systems offer stand-alone credential tracking software solutions intended to be loaded onto specific computers within the System Owner's organization. However, the responsibility for entry, accuracy, and maintaining all credential system data in these records management applications falls largely to the System's Owner. This stand-alone solution also can be problematic in relation to operational support, upgrades, maintenance, or expansion of the credential records software.

With improved network and cloud technology, a better solution has been developed to enhance the System's Owners accuracy and efficiency eliminating this stand-alone philosophy.

A Cloud Based Software Solution designed for Credential Control

SecurityRecords believes credential system records are critical to establishing manageable controls. No matter what system a System Owner utilizes, SecurityRecords has developed the only web-accessible, relational software program specifically designed to simplify and unify physical security credentials management.

SecurityRecords credential tracking software allows System Owners to track and monitor the real time status of their mechanical credentials. The cloud-based environment allows access to the credential system data for any authorized personnel on any web-accessible device.

This allows for de-centralization of responsibilities to multiple authorized personnel eliminating the reliance on any one specific department or individual. Access levels are also customizable to allow authorized users various capabilities from full administration to view only capabilities. This secured cloud-based environment also eliminates the need for software installation, upgrades, stand-alone support, or hosted computer security.

System Owners are now able to efficiently delegate administrative responsibilities relevant to the credential systems records to subordinate personnel or even ancillary departments. This streamlining of operations allows for better focus on the global management of the credential system's integrity and performance.

Through utilization of this software program, System Owners have historically been able to sustain multiple systems' security, better their cost reduction, improve their operational efficiencies, and prolong their systems' life cycles.
