Beyond Key Control
Managing who has access to keys using modern electronic key control systems improves security and brings accountability to casino and gaming enterprises. Yet, key control systems go beyond key management. Key control systems generate data, and when data is reviewed and analyzed, it brings business intelligence.
Electronic key control systems record all transactions by authorized users, which generate real-time data and audit trail activity among all employees, including the locations of the enterprise they access and the assets they use or do not use. When reviewed over time, this data reveals workflow patterns and the dynamics of daily enterprise operations deliverables, so administrators and managers can adjust enterprise resources, schedules and spending.
Highly regulated casino and gaming enterprises benefit from time-stamped audit trails of who removed and returned keys with data that shows what areas of the building and what assets were accessed. Key control audit trails not only enforce regulatory and security compliance but also strengthen zero-trust security policies.
Electronic key control permissions are programmable by job function, work schedules and even by temporary assignments, ensuring that all users have appropriate, non-excessive levels of access. This degree of security and efficiency can be set up to automatically expire or to be easily updated.
Shared and synchronized data between key control systems and other security and business technology platforms brings even greater value. Casino and gaming facilities and security administrators have better communication and more real-time data delivered to them to reduce risk and to prevent security incidents.
The distinct accountability functions between integrated key control, security and business technology also allow for stronger and more efficient business operations.
When paired with electronic key control, keys are active and progressive security tools. Key control data helps casino and gaming operations administrators discover potential security issues and inefficiencies so they can make improvements that affect bottom-line profitability and compliance.
