PIAM for Food & Beverage Manufacturers
Extend the Benefits of Access Control to Visitors & Contractors
SecurityOS is a physical identity and access management solution designed to meet the unique needs of the food and beverage manufacturing industry. In an industry where safety, quality, and efficiency are paramount, SecurityOS helps ensure you manage temporary access to your facilities, improving security, boosting operational performance, and simplifying compliance management.
Centralized Access Control
Simplify access management across your manufacturing facilities and distribution centers. Ensure only authorized visitors and contractors access critical food safety areas such as production lines and storage zones. Customize permissions based on working hours, production schedules, and project timelines. With SecurityOS, sensitive zones like kitchens, storage, and packaging areas remain secure and compliant.
Automate Provisioning
Issuing and revoking access to food manufacturing zones is time-sensitive and critical for operational security. SecurityOS removes ambiguity and human error by automating the provisioning process, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access areas such as packaging lines, food testing labs, or raw material storage.
Compliance & Reporting
Meet the stringent standards of food safety regulations with detailed audit trails and logs of visitor and contractor access. SecurityOS tracks access points, areas visited, and duration, providing visibility into critical activities that support compliance with food safety standards. 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 food and beverage manufacturers with multiple facilities, 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 at your manufacturing facilities. This includes controlling access to sensitive areas like processing zones, storage units, and employee-only areas.
Data Privacy & Compliance
Stay compliant with food industry-specific regulations and safeguard sensitive data. SecurityOS helps ensure personal information collected during access management is securely handled in accordance with privacy laws. This is especially important for food manufacturers needing to comply with data privacy regulations related to workforce and visitor information.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) helps ensure workplace safety, including food manufacturing environments. Food manufacturers must meet these standards to minimize risks and maintain safe conditions. SecurityOS helps comply with OSHA by:
- Restricting access to high-risk areas like production lines and hazardous material storage.
- Tracking entries and exits from restricted areas with time stamps, aiding in safety audits.
- Offering detailed access logs to document who entered critical zones, supporting investigations and compliance audits.
Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) focuses on preventing foodborne illnesses through preventive controls in food manufacturing. SecurityOS supports FSMA compliance by:
- Ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive production and storage areas where contamination risks are high.
- Offering audit trails that track access to critical food safety zones, aiding in FSMA audits.
- Enabling manufacturers to pre-screen and manage the credentials of visitors and contractors for compliance with FSMA standards.
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) establish guidelines to ensure product safety and quality across food production. SecurityOS helps food manufacturers meet GMP requirements by:
- Managing access to production and packaging zones, ensuring that only authorized personnel enter sensitive food safety areas.
- Automating visitor and contractor access, ensuring compliance with GMP protocols.
- Maintaining digital records of who accessed GMP-controlled zones for easier audits and traceability.
