Mech anical eCylinde r EAC

High Security mechanical key-control solutions are ideal:

• Where access is desired 24/7
• No information about who has entered an area is needed.

Loss and Liability solutions offer the ability to:

• Quickly (and electronically) change access rights
• To track historic access information.

Ideal for sensitive areas that don't require realtime access information from conventional EAC but benefit from having access audit information and the ability to change access rights without mechanical rekeying.

Conventional access control systems offer:

• Real-time access information and updates.
• Allow for immediate changes to access rights when critical.

This can be cost-prohibitive for widespread use.

Health care facilities

HIPAA requires provisions on health plans and health providers to provide protection of a person's medical records. Because most universities fall into one or both of these categories, it is important that the handling of health care information be managed and secured properly. With an eCylinder solution, you'll have complete control over who is authorized to enter and a record of who accesses the areas.

• Control and monitor access to all health care information.
• eCylinder solutions can be installed on the door or on applications inside the room; such as file cabinets and desk drawers.

Con ven ien t Solution

Avila University of Kansas City, Missouri wanted a locking system that had access control features such as time schedules and historic audit, but with less cost and no need for IT intervention. They needed the ability to move cylinders around within a system, which cannot be done with hard-wired access control systems.

Protec ting Studen ts Living in Dorms

A major university in the southeastern USA needed a solution to protect students living on campus while attending the college. With Logic, they have the benefits of audit, scheduling, and quick rekeying of dorm rooms as well as exterior doors.

impo rtant leg al gu ide lines

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires electronic financial reporting to have a log of access to sensitive information to avoid data manipulation and increase data integrity.

HIPAA regulations require that medical records be secured with a system that audits access.

The Code of Federal Regulations and The Joint Commission both require secured access to controlled substances, including medication.

PCI Standards require that all credit card information —paper and electronic —be secured and all access monitored/recorded.
