Access control
Manage, track and secure access to your sensitive sites using connected, centralised solutions that comply with the most stringent security requirements.
ACCESS CONTROL
Control Access and Enhance the Resilience of Your Critical Sites
Scutum delivers advanced access control solutions combining intelligent technology, connectivity and accessibility to secure your sites without compromising operational flow.
Our multi-credential systems (badges, mobile credentials and biometric readers) enable dynamic access management based on user profiles, zones and time schedules. Through the Scutum Smart Security Platform, you can monitor and manage access in real time, automate security scenarios and analyse site activity with full visibility.
Physical security devices including turnstiles, connected locking systems and certified IP controllers ensure robust protection and continuous system availability.
All data is encrypted and managed in compliance with recognised industry standards, including APSAD and ANSSI frameworks, as well as UK GDPR requirements.
Scutum also provides 24/7 support and proactive system maintenance (MCO/MCS), ensuring long-term reliability, performance and operational continuity.
Secure Management with Full Visibility
Scutum designs and deploys tailored access control solutions, engineered to meet the specific operational and security requirements of each site.
Our technologies — including RFID badges, smart cards, biometric readers, electronic key management systems and IP-based controllers — ensure secure, reliable and fully traceable access management.
Each user is assigned a personalised access profile based on their role, authorised zones and defined time schedules, enabling precise control of movements and accountability across the site.
Centralised Supervision with Seamless System Integration
Scutum systems are natively integrated with the Smart Security Platform, providing a centralised view and real-time control of all access points.
This integration enables access control data to be combined with intrusion alarms and video surveillance, allowing automated responses to be triggered, such as initiating a site lockdown following an intrusion alert.
High-Security Physical Equipment
High-security physical equipment forms the first line of defence for sensitive and high-risk sites. Our solutions include turnstiles, motorised gates, security interlocks, rising barriers and connected locking systems, all designed to control access, deter unauthorised entry and support secure site operations.
All equipment is selected and deployed in accordance with recognised UK standards and best practice. Systems are certified to meet stringent mechanical and electronic resistance requirements, including NSI certification, relevant BS EN standards and LPCB (LPS) ratings where applicable.
These solutions can be fully integrated into wider security systems, including access control, video surveillance and intrusion detection, providing a coordinated and resilient approach to site protection.
Trusted Systems & Secure Architecture
Our solutions are built on certified IP-based controllers and high-security locking devices, engineered to resist intrusion, tampering and sabotage attempts.
Each system is designed following a detailed security risk assessment, ensuring alignment between identified threat levels and the protection measures implemented.
Advanced Identified Technologies
Scutum deploys multi-technology identification solutions, including smart cards, RFID badges, QR codes, biometric readers and NFC-enabled smartphones, which can be combined in multi-factor authentication configurations to enhance security in critical areas.
All systems are fully integrated with the Smart Security Platform, enabling correlation of events across access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection and technical systems for a unified and coordinated security response.
Centralised Supervision & Full Traceability
All systems are connected to a secure, centralised software platform accessible through a single interface.
Administrators can assign, modify or revoke access rights remotely, and access detailed, time-stamped audit logs recording all movements and events.
This unified supervision ensures complete traceability and compliance with UK GDPR requirements, and streamlined management of internal security policies.
Scalable, Compliant Security with Operational Continuity
Scutum supports customers throughout the entire system life cycle, from design and installation through to ongoing maintenance and optimisation.
Our teams deliver maintenance in line with operational and safety requirements, including software updates and patch management, system performance and functionality checks, remote diagnostics and maintenance, as well as scheduled inspections and preventative servicing.
Each installation is audited in accordance with recognised UK and international standards, including NSI certification and relevant BS EN frameworks. This ensures system resilience, the protection of sensitive data and the long-term reliability of your security investment.
