Claim 6:
7. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by a hardware-based processor, performs stages for analyzing and attesting physical access, the stages comprising:
identifying a user group based at least in part on a user identity associated with a user device;
identifying a survey associated with the user group;
causing a first notification to be displayed at the user device, the first notification including an explanation that the user must take action to be allowed physical access to a location and an action element that, when selected, displays the survey;
identifying a second notification sent by the user device, the second notification comprising a first response to the survey;
in response to the second notification, sending a digital key to the user device;
determining, based on the first response to the survey, physical access permissions for the user identity at a location; and
sending the physical access permissions to a physical access control system, wherein the digital key is compared to the physical access permissions by the physical access control system to determine whether to grant physical access to the location.
