Contrôle d’accès
Le contrôle d’accès permet de déterminer qui, quand et où un individu est autorisé à entrer dans une zone ou non. L’objectif principal est de protéger les personnes, les biens et les données de l’entreprise des intrusions et actes de malveillance.
Access control: the key to security
Controlling entry and exit
An access control system limits entry to a site (physical control) or an IT system (logical control) to a certain number of identified people.
This filtering is possible both at the entrance and exit of a building and in the different areas of the site. It can be based on the identity of the person (employees, visitors, suppliers, etc.) and other criteria such as the time of day (all the time, at certain times of the day and/or night), etc.
- Protect employees from malicious intrusion
- Protect property and production tools (theft, fire)
- Restrict access to sensitive or restricted premises
- Know in real time all the people present on site to generate a list in the event of a fire or accident
- Control time and movements for statistical purposes and security audits
* Whatever the purpose of access control, this system enables you to locate and identify a danger so you can react as quickly as possible and make the best decisions.

There are currently four categories of access control system: compulsory (applies to everyone), discretionary (certain people have specific authorisations at the administrator’s discretion), based on people’s roles and based on rules defined by the administrator.
If we are thinking more specifically of keys, badges or even security guards to screen passers-by, there are several possible technologies:

3 control stages for opening doors
An access control system has three stages:
- Authentication: when a user presents their badge (or any other form of identification), the system compares the proof of identity with its database.
- Authorisation: the system checks whether the person has the necessary rights to access the requested area and, if so, grants entry authorisation.
- Traceability: as each access request is recorded, the system can track people’s movements within the company.
Obligations et normes
Access control obligations and standard
Installing an access control system is compulsory for Operators of Vital Importance (OIV) and the agri-food sector (subject to the IFS Food standard). For other sectors, the installation of access control is a matter for the head of the establishment to decide.
In all cases, access control is one of the most important security measures in a building. It is recommended in sensitive areas such as education, finance and banking, energy, data centres, healthcare, etc.

Access control systems are governed by a number of legal texts…
- Code du Travail (Articles L 120-2, L121-8 and L 432-2-1- and Code Civil (article 9)
