Examining facility room security under ISO27001/ISO27002 requirements

According to statutory and regulatory requirements-Venues (facility rooms) or physical (People) visits in buildings should have visitor reception area (Admitting visitors in security control room, unless the door can be opened manually) or other security devices to execute access control mechanism. Only the personnel with valid authorization can be permitted to enter the venues (Facility rooms) or buildings (Tailgaters and Piggybackers are blocked).

Nowadays most facility rooms are guarded manually or by employees on shift, it does comply with regulatory requirements but cannot avoid the neglect and flaws caused by management personnel in terms of facility room security control.

Genuine security control starts from physical isolation

The access control system consists of ecaF Skynet series Facility Room Anti-tailgating system does not require management staff to stay in facility room on shift ,it's Taiwan's first anti-intruder system that adopts isolation technique and allows you to monitor a facility room in security control room, avoiding the possibilities of neglect from management personnel. Apart from eliminating illegal intruder effectively, it also brings physical protection for security personnel. Therefore eCAF Skynet series has become the total solution for facility room anti-tailgating.

How it works-Intelligent Human Contour Detection Access Control System

• When a person intends to enter security zone, administrative personnel will first to punch cards to enter transition zone, then punch again to pass( single entry recorded – Monitoring zone) then enter reception room, only single person is allowed to enter in this step , then physical entrance (Single entry access control) is activated.
• Visitors need to stand outside the reception room and apply entry card through the inquiry window, then the administrative personnel who stays inside the reception room will hand out the cards. After receipt of entry cards, visitors may move forward to physical entrance (Single entry access control) for monitoring. If the authorization is approved, they may proceed to next step or else withdraw then wait for administrative personnel’ instructions for follow up.
• Equipment must be delivered to transition zone first then notify administrative personnel for approval before moving into the facility rooms. Relevant workers should follow general procedures to enter security zone through physical entrance (Single entry access control) then wait for device management personnel to open the passage gate (Door 3) and move the equipment inside security zone. When all the relevant workers retreat to security zone, passage gate will be locked by device management personnel.

The Simplicity of Single-Punch Single Dweller Mechanism

Big range of security areas usually deploy electronic fencing system, but it's not suitable for cabinets in facility rooms. Usually important devices or equipment would be attached with keep-away mechanism under special-assigned management and maintenance or even with locks or access control card reader and still fail to obtain substantial protection. Anyone who with vicious attempt can unlock or exploit the system flaw to intrude if they have enough time. And surveillance system cannot totally eliminate these circumstances.

The myth about hiring guards in security areas

eCAF Tech Dwell Guardian Access control uses advanced 3D human contour detection technique to solve this problem. Through sensor mounted above paired instruments, only the person with authorized card numbers can dwell or else alarm would sound. It’s the best solution for other equipment like vault or high risk devices.

Solution Benefits

• Reinforcement on one-punch one-dweller mechanism, 100 % block illegal dwellers.
