Is Your Access Control System Limiting Exposure to Risk?
Your access control system should be more than a visual deterrent. Allied Universal® can audit your existing access control technology to determine if it is doing the job you need. We will look for connectivity (how well does it play with others), scalability (how adaptable is your system) and flexibility (can you change system elements).

-
Internal Access
Threats don’t just lurk outside your business. Access control validates and authorizes staff attempting to gain access to various locations within your facility. Technology-driven access control systems deliver heightened security and reliability compared to traditional methods that use keys or passwords. -
Access Control Cards and Readers
Whether securing a single office space or a multi-complex campus, features such as biometric authentication, smart cards, and RFID tags, can prevent unauthorized individuals to gain entry, reducing the potential security breaches that come with unauthorized access. -
Next-level Biometrics
The next level in access control, biometrics uses a person’s physical traits, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, to determine access levels to a space. As these traits cannot be copied, they provide a high accuracy of authentication, making them ideal for highly secure spaces. -
Web-based Multi-site Access Control Solutions
Cloud-based access control systems deliver ultimate control for our clients; delivering reliable access to information, scalability, and remote administration without investing heavily in IT infrastructure. A cloud-based system puts control in your hands, allowing you to add and delete users, update access credentials, view real-time reports; and address breaches quickly, mitigating risk to the business.
Industry-Leading Electronic Access Control Systems
Proactive Access Control Management

Internal Threat Mitigation
+With growing awareness of the risk of internal threats to business continuity and intellectual property, access control is becoming increasingly important for monitoring the flow of people within an organization.
Data-Driven Insights

Scalable and Flexible
+If your system is slowing you down, or failing altogether, your security may be compromised. Today’s systems are meant to grow and adapt to your security needs while integrating with other electronic elements to provide a true 360º view of your organization.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Question: How is access control monitored?
Answer: Allied Universal has a state-of-the-art Monitoring and Response Center (MaRC), which has proven effective in conducting services on behalf of clients. We can do as much or as little as you need.
-
Question: Can I use my existing access control system, or would I need a new one?
Answer: We are not in the habit of switching access control systems that are effective in meeting the needs of the business. We can work with most access control systems and technologies but would recommend changes when we believe that not doing so would put you at increased risk. We take your investment seriously.
-
Question: How old is old when it comes to access control?
Answer: That is a hard question to answer as there are a number of factors including both the technology itself and the usage within your workspace. We do encourage our clients to upgrade their access control systems periodically to take advantage of new security features and technologies, improve operational efficiency, and achieve compliance with current standards.
-
Question: Can I self-monitor my access control?
Answer: We do partner with technology vendors who offer client-led access control systems, which gives you the power to monitor, add, and revoke access for anybody at any time. If your business is larger, you may consider passing the reins over to Allied Universal to manage. We will talk about what makes sense for your business.
-
Question: Can my access control integrate with my video cameras?
Answer: When you achieve complete interoperability between your technology systems, you improve your security posture and ability to monitor and assess threats as needed. Not all systems are created equal, and we would need to look at the systems that you have on-site. We are confident that we can work with you to create a cohesive security system infrastructure.
