According to the Labor Department, the unemployment rate rose in July to its highest level in six months. Letting employees go is never easy. Oftentimes, these people are not just our coworkers; they’re our friends. Still, companies have to be prepared that a laid off or fired employee represents a potential security threat. Whether disgruntled or desperate, a person who has lost his job may be inclined to retaliate.
Many companies protect themselves with access control systems—also known as card access—that prevent unauthorized people from unlocking various doors throughout a facility. When an employee is let go, an access card’s rights should be immediately revoked so that the card won’t open any doors. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen. The person responsible for updating the system may not be available or familiar with the access control system’s management software, or may even be the one who is losing a job.
It would be a lot easier if you could update your access control system with one phone call.
That’s exactly why we created our DGAPass managed access control system. DGAPass addresses all of these issues so you can take full advantage of the benefits of access control. There’s no complex computer hardware or software to maintain, because all DGAPass systems are managed remotely by the DGAPass Card Access team. We’re available 24 hours a day, every day. If you need to modify or delete a card’s rights, just call us. As soon as the change is entered, the system is immediately updated. And because we’re security experts, we let you get more out of your access control system, including extensive reporting via our web portal, and email alerts when specific doors are accessed.
Managed access makes sense at any time: You focus on your business and you let the security experts focus on keeping you, your employees and your property secure. But managed access and managed security services in general can be especially beneficial during uncertain times when your security needs are constantly changing.
