Study Notes
Access Management
- Access management is a core security process, managing who (or what) can go where and when.
- Two types of access management exist: physical and logical (IT systems) access management.
- This module focuses on physical access management (people, property, and vehicles).
- Convergence of physical and logical access management is increasing.
- Access management is a broader term than access control, which relates to specific functions of access control systems.
- Effective access management requires cooperation from all personnel.
Aims of Access Management
- Prevent unauthorized entry.
- Facilitate authorized entry.
- Prevent introduction of prohibited items.
- Prevent unauthorized removal of property.
- Monitor and control egress.
- Account for who is on site at any given time.
- Provide information to security personnel.
- Prevent observation of sensitive processes/operations and compromise of sensitive information.
- Protect organization's employees and their property.
- Prevent any facility attack or misuse (occupation, sabotage, terrorism.)
- Provide an audit trail of access/egress transactions.
Components of Access Management
- Physical barriers (fences, site layout, doors, signage) to create access control points.
- Portal hardware for locking/unlocking doors, door sensors (open/closed, bolt).
- Access management (hardware and software for managing access).
- Readers for card or credential data transmission.
- Mantraps and turnstiles to control single entry.
- People and credentials are essential.
- Biometric authentication may be used (card with PIN, or biometric scanners).
Standard Good Practice
- Signage to warn about restricted areas.
- Secure perimeter barriers.
- Secured entry/exit points.
- Identification and surveillance of entry points.
- Zoning to restrict access to sensitive areas (internal and external).
- Employee awareness of access policies.
- Card management system - accountable issuance.
- Use single-entry devices (revolving doors, turnstiles) to prevent tailgating.
- Use automated access control systems with counterfeit-resistant card keys.
- Restrict access to appropriate working hours.
- Periodic assessment of access levels/staff.
- Collection of badges/keys when employees/contractors leave.
Design Models
- Public allowed in; exclusion is by exception. Open facilities allow entry to anyone except those with specific exclusions.
- Public not allowed in; admittance by exception. Closed facilities only allow access to authorised personnel.
Critical Areas and Zoning
- A typical site includes public areas, controlled areas, and restricted areas (critical areas with limited access).
- Different levels of access for different areas are possible. Examples include public areas, collaboration areas, confidential areas, restricted areas/
- Site perimeters should be defined, well-lit, signed, and guarded to deter unauthorized entry.
