PIAM for Higher Education Institutions
Extend the Benefits of Access Control to Campus Guests
SecurityOS is a physical identity and access management solution designed to meet the unique needs of higher education institutions. With an ever-growing campus community, maintaining campus security, ensuring safety, and improving operational efficiency are crucial. SecurityOS helps ensure you manage temporary access to your facilities effectively, enhancing security, boosting operational performance, and simplifying compliance management across your institution.
Centralized Access Control
Simplify access management across your campus, including dormitories, research labs, libraries, and administrative buildings. With SecurityOS, ensure that only authorized visitors are granted physical access. Customize access permissions based on schedules, faculty needs, and event timelines.
Automate Provisioning
Issuing and revoking access to campus facilities is time-sensitive and critical for maintaining security. SecurityOS removes ambiguity and human error by automating the provisioning process, ensuring that only authorized visitors and temporary staff are granted physical access.
Compliance & Reporting
Meet the rigorous standards of higher education regulations with detailed audit trails and logs of all current and historical credentials issued. SecurityOS tracks access points, areas visited, and the duration of visits, providing visibility into critical activities that support compliance with privacy laws and institutional policies. Access to reports helps ensure transparency during security audits and regulatory reviews.
Expire on Sign-Out
Manage temporary access effectively by ensuring physical access is revoked once it's no longer needed. Configure visitor or contractor access tags to expire upon sign-out, or set automatic expiration after a defined period, minimizing the risk of unauthorized re-entry to food production zones after shifts or projects end.
Centralized Management
For universities and colleges with multiple campuses or buildings, SecurityOS provides a centralized platform for managing access credentials across all sites. Administrators can efficiently manage visitor and contractor access from one interface, streamlining operations while maintaining high levels of security and compliance.
Control Points of Entry
Whether using FacilityOS provided hardware or integrating with third-party access control systems, SecurityOS helps manage critical points of entry across your campus including doors, turnstiles, elevators and more. SecurityOS is not a replacement for access control – it extends the benefits for complex, dynamic requirements.
Data Privacy & Compliance
Higher education institutions must adhere to specific data privacy laws like FERPA. SecurityOS helps ensure personal information collected during access management is securely handled in compliance with privacy regulations. This is especially important for managing sensitive student and staff data and maintaining security around academic research facilities.
Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA)
FISMA mandates that federal agencies implement comprehensive security programs to protect government information systems. SecurityOS supports FISMA compliance by:
- Controlling access to highly sensitive information and critical infrastructure, ensuring only authorized personnel are granted access to classified or restricted zones.
- Tracking access points and maintaining a digital log of credentials issued to guests, supporting security audits and compliance verification.
- Ensuring real-time access control for contractors, and visitors in accordance with FISMA's stringent access control requirements.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
OSHA sets workplace safety standards for all industries, including government sectors. Agencies must adhere to these standards to ensure the health and safety of visitors, and contractors. SecurityOS helps meet OSHA compliance by:
- Restricting access to hazardous or high-risk areas, such as construction zones or locations with dangerous materials.
- Maintaining detailed logs of who enters and exits restricted areas, supporting OSHA audits and investigations.
- Allowing quick identification of safety violations by tracking access points and times for all individuals on site.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
For government entities managing data of EU citizens, the GDPR mandates strict guidelines for data privacy and security. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties. SecurityOS aids GDPR compliance by:
- Securing the personal data collected during the credentialing process to prevent unauthorized access and breaches.
- Providing access logs to ensure transparency and accountability in data handling, supporting GDPR audits.
- Allowing governments to set granular access permissions based on data sensitivity, ensuring only authorized individuals can access personal data.
