Why is access control in banking and finance different?
- Non-negotiable high security. One of the fundamental purposes of banks and financial institutions is to protect physical and intellectual assets from both internal and external threats. Robust access control is crucial to that effort.
- Sensitive data and restricted access. Ensuring that only authorised individuals can access vaults, server rooms, IT infrastructure, and executive offices is a vital central measure for both regulatory compliance and overall security.
- Public access where permitted. Banks need to provide public-facing areas like lobbies, meeting rooms, and cashier desks for people to engage with their services. These must be free to access, but strictly separated from restricted zones.
Our approach: secure, efficient, and scalable
Centralised access control
A centralised system enables simple management of even complex sites, customisable for every door, area, floor, or user group. And with ATRIUM KRYPTO, all communications are encrypted at every step, ensuring complete security from end to end.
Biometric user authentication
For high-risk areas, biometric access control offers the most reliable method of ensuring that only authorised individuals can gain access. No cards that can be lost or stolen, no credentials being intercepted or cloned. And users must be physically present to use the readers.
Integration with building systems
Integrating with the other systems in your building, such as CCTV, ANPR, intruder alarms, and elevators, is vital to maintaining the highest security in financial institutions. ATRIUM makes integration smooth and simple, promoting efficiency throughout the site.
High security access control for banks
Your challenge:
Your site is responsible for keeping assets of huge value safe and secure from internal and external threats. At the same time, you must welcome members of the public to your building in order to engage with your services. It is vital that access to restricted areas is strictly controlled.
Our solution:
A centralised ATRIUM KRYPTO access control platform, with end-to-end AES encryption for robust data security. For sensitive areas like vaults and server rooms, add ievo fingerprint readers for extra security. Your site enables free and easy access in front of house for customers, but enforces strict security in the back office.
Occupancy management for enhanced monitoring
Your challenge:
With high-value assets on-site, you need to track the entries and exits and internal movements of staff at all times. It must be clear who is where and when, with accurate and comprehensive reporting to refer back to in the case of any security incidents.
Our solution:
With built-in occupancy management in ATRIUM, you can limit the number of people allowed in restricted zones at any time, automatically locking doors until space is freed. Plus, with detailed event logs and automatic notification emails in the case of security events such as door forced, you can track internal movements with clarity and simplicity.
Biometric access control for banks
Biometric access control offers the most robust method for ensuring only authorised individuals can gain access. ievo fingerprint readers integrate simply and smoothly with ATRIUM, making higher security easier than ever. In addition, biometrics come with the added benefit of being the most convenient method of access control – there’s no card, PIN, or tag to remember or carry around.
Biometric credentials can’t be copied or stolen
Deliver the most robust access control for secure zones
Cost-efficient security with lower admin requirements
Automatic doors for financial institutions
For busy bank branches or financial institutions, the efficient flow of traffic is essential to smooth daily operations. Automatic doors can play an important part in that flow. Beyond just improving accessibility for people with limited mobility, automatic doors keep people moving efficiently throughout a site.
🔐 Secure automatic doors for branch lobbies and staff access points
🔐 Automatically secure doors when lockdown is triggered
🔐 Integrate with access control to open doors only when authorised
