In a recent survey, companies surveyed said theft of company assets and intellectual property is their top concern.  Business today operates in a virtual, global environment.  Employees are accessing company files from remote PC’s on a 24/7 basis.  Most companies provide and expect employees will access their Internet and/or Intranet systems for confidential company data, documents and information.  This requires you have additional layers of security.

Identification Protection for employees, property & information

Most companies issue photo IDs or access control cards to their employees to manage physical security, and they use passwords or software tokens to manage logical security.

Generally, these identity systems are not integrated. The disconnection between identity systems for physical access and identity systems for logical access creates great vulnerability. These non-integrated systems are most likely centered on old technologies that are easy to circumvent for a determined thief or saboteur. Furthermore, instead of maintaining tight, up-to-the-minute control over a single database, most enterprises task themselves with updating multiple databases. As the task grows larger and the databases grow older, holes appear that allow unauthorized users to enter your facilities and access your networks.
The solution is to combine and integrate your visual ID protections and your virtual ID protections. 

Photo ID’s and Visitor Badges identify, control and manage facility personnel.  ACS has centralized solutions to control the identification of all authorized personnel.  ACS integrates all technologies for access control including magnetic stripes, barcodes, proximity cards and smart chip technology.  In addition our solutions can provide additional visual and technological authentication using:

• Photographs
• Hologram, Florescent & UV overlays
• Mifare proximity cards
• Biotechnology scans

An integrated visual and virtual identity system provides greater security for intellectual property. By issuing personalized smart cards to employees and other authorized users, you can replace simple password and software token-based systems with Multi-Factor authentications.  When using a multi-factor authentication system, authorized users must provide something they have (a highly secure, personalized smart card) and something they know (typically a password) before they can access your intellectual property or conduct an electronic transaction on behalf of your enterprise.

Does your company provide food service or vending machines?  Your employee ID can store prepaid funds for the convenience of a cashless payment system in your cafeteria and vending machines.

Not ready for your own photo ID systems?  Our preprinted card program provides you an economic way to have custom designed cards without the costs of a complete card system.  Order preprinted cards and personalize your employee cards with a low cost black & white card printer.  We have options to meet any budget!
