HID SAFE

HID PIAM or Physical Identity and Access Management System for managing users, credentials, Licences, Permits, compliance and auditing of Identities.

In large enterprise organizations, security departments are challenged with managing different types of physical identities including permanent and temporary employees, contractors, vendors and visitors across multiple locations. Traditional ways of managing identities and access within physical access control systems (PACS) present considerable challenges — some of these challenges are a result of multiple, disparate PACS which may not be integrated with authoritative systems or other security systems, creating significant manual efforts to manage identities and their associated physical access profiles.

When security policies are also manually enforced, the complications increase — resulting in inconsistent and error-prone processes, often causing:

Duplicate identities

Unauthorized access

Limited or missing validation of pre-requisites for access provisioning

Non-existent audit trails

Delayed removal of or missed terminated identities

And more…

Through a single, centralized platform, HID SAFE Enterprise advances the security functions of identity management, breaks down the siloed systems and processes within organizations, and enables collaboration across departments and teams.

HID SAFE Enterprise provides a comprehensive range of functions

• Utilises pre-defined rules and workflows for on-/off-boarding of identities, access provisioning/de-provisioning and access change management
  
• Allows users to create spatial hierarchy of locations (sites), the underlying buildings, floors and associated areas for better access management
  
• Aggregates access level information from disparate PACS and allows users to manage additional details typically not available in PACS, such as risk level, area owner, multiple approvers and prerequisites for access (such as training for critical areas)
  
• Includes a self-service portal which enables employees to make multiple physical security requests, such as new physical access requests and badge requests

Key Benefits

Centrally manage identities for employees, contractors and visitors
Assign access levels to an identity across disparate systems
Immediately terminate physical access avoiding delays
Create hierarchy of locations and associated areas
Create virtual zones of related access levels across locations
Automate assigning of physical access using common conditions
Complete audit trail of all transactions executed within the system

HID SAFE provides additional features to enhance security planning and compliance reporting. When urgent terminations arise, authorized personnel are enabled to immediately terminate physical access of identities, avoiding termination delays by HR personnel. The system also maintains a complete audit trail of all transactions executed and delivers pre-defined reports based on access records and logs of identities to effectively manage security and compliance
