Scalable Security.
Not all Security Entrance Solutions are Equal
When it comes to physical security entrances, there are some different options available to choose from – high security portals, security revolving doors, speed gates, full-height and tripod turnstiles. These options vary greatly in their capabilities and can confuse security managers looking to secure their facilities from risk. To assist professionals in selecting the right entrance solution, we have categorised security entrances by their level of security, as it relates to tailgating mitigation. Is the goal: tailgating deterrence (low security level), detection (medium security level) or complete prevention (high security level).
We also recognise that a company may have more than one tailgating mitigation goal within the same building, as security is best when done in layers. Different entrance solutions apply to different layers within a building.
To determine which security solution best fits your needs, you must ask yourself: what is your goal? It may be tailgating detection, piggybacking prevention or crowd control:
- Prevention (high security level)
- Detection (medium security level)
- Deterrence (low security level)
High Security Solutions
When security is critical, high security revolving doors and portals prevent intrusion. Virtually impenetrable, these high security solutions allow for the elimination or reallocation of guard supervision, providing owners with a quick ROI. Also, by examining metrics gathered by sensor systems in the doors, owners can predict and quantify their actual risk of infiltration. Used often at employee-only entrances and to secure areas containing sensitive data or personnel, these solutions are a breed of security entrances unlike any other.
Medium Security Solutions
Speed gates provide a strong visual obstacle against intrusion, and, when coupled with biometric and access control devices, can raise alarms to alert guard staff of unauthorised entry in real time for quick action. Ideal for building reception areas, the speed gates also work to support regulatory compliance and risk reduction.
Low Security Solutions
Wide lane access gates are a key component of your overall risk mitigation strategy and should not be overlooked when considering equal access for all. While all security entrances are a physical deterrent against intrusion, lower security access gates serve the dual purpose of deterring against casual unauthorised entry, while providing spacious, comfortable passage to support disabled access.
