Managed access control, from installation to daily operations

Managed access control means a trusted provider like Kastle takes care of your access control system for you. That includes administration like issuing and removing credentials, monitoring the system, keeping the technology current, and providing the reports your team needs. We also design the security system, install and support the devices, monitor for alerts and alarms, and follow your specific response protocol. Think of Kastle as an extension of your team, managing your security day to day.

A managed access control service brings the technology and daily management together. It can include cloud software, credential provisioning and deactivation, 24/7 monitoring, system health checks, alerts, an open API that connects with hardware from other manufacturers, reporting, audit trails, and ongoing support. You get one partner accountable for the entire system.

With in-house access control, your IT, security, or facilities teams manage the hardware, software, credentials, and daily administration. A managed access control provider handles that work for you, reducing the burden on your staff and making it easier to maintain consistent security as your needs grow.

Managed access control services are available from security integrators, regional monitoring companies, and national providers like Kastle. The level of service can vary widely. Some providers install the system and support it when something breaks. Kastle manages access control as part of an integrated platform that can also include video, visitor management, monitoring, and ongoing system administration.

Yes. A cloud-managed access control system lets you apply consistent access policies, manage credentials, monitor activity, and pull reports across multiple locations from one platform. As you add buildings, your access control program can grow with you, using the same process and provider relationship for every new property.

Kastle installs, manages, and operates the system consistently across your portfolio, with policies that you set for each building’s needs. You get one person to call for every site, backed by one accountable team.
