When deciding how to choose your access control platform, follow these six steps:
1. Review past security incidents and identify any weaknesses in your physical security system that led to an incident.
2. Identify causes for concern to determine functions you want to better manage (e.g. timely opening and closing of business operating hours or the need to monitor employee behaviors).
3. Figure out what operational inefficiencies you need to solve (e.g. frequent rekeying or keeping your system firmware and software up to date).
4. Outline your desired outcomes.
5. Prioritize what you need.
6. Scope the project and number of doors you need to secure.
