Are You In Control?

Time seems to be the greatest adversary to a key system. Many end-users are in possession of legacy key systems that were set up years ago. Over time, these systems become harder to maintain as the number of keys that are lost, stolen or unaccounted for increase to an unsustainable level.

End-users that are unsure of the status of their key systems can get a good idea of its health by pondering the following questions:

• Is the key system more than 10 years old? If the answer is yes, then there’s a good chance a number of keys are missing in action.
• Has the facility security objectives changed recently? If so, was the key system updated to reflect these changes?
• Has the key system been audited on a yearly basis? If not, then there is no way of knowing if control is maintained.

Many end-users that set out to answer these questions will be shocked when they realize the level of security vulnerabilities that exist within their facility. When this happens, it’s time to call in an ASSA ABLOY Certified Key Systems Professional.
