A physical access and identity management platform as an indispensable link

Picture this: 

A company site where a major renovation is taking place. Contractors queue at the entrance early in the morning, but everything is jammed because every person has to be checked manually. Frustration at the entrance, delays in work and a Security Manager with his hands in his pockets. Meanwhile, management is sweating, because the rules around security and privacy must absolutely not be violated.

Take control of your access control

The old-fashioned way of access control is not only slow, but also risky. Manually requesting and assigning access rights is error-prone and increases the risk of unauthorised access and identity fraud. This scenario is unfortunately the reality for organisations that have not yet implemented physical access and identity management (PIAM) - a vital link in modern security strategies. But what makes PIAM so crucial for your organisation?

What is Physical Identity- and Access Management (PIAM)?

PIAM is a system that manages and controls people's physical access to buildings and secure areas. The system often interfaces with other systems, such as HR databases and IT security, thus supporting a comprehensive security policy. With PIAM, you automate identity verification and efficiently manage access rights for employees, visitors and contractors.

The essence of PIAM in 3 steps

1. Identity management: The basis of PIAM lies in managing identities of people who need access. This includes personal data, contract periods and other essential information for your site..
2. Specific requirements: As a security professional, you want assurance. By requiring specific documents and certificates such as a VCA or VOG, you guarantee that only authorised people are allowed in..
3. Authorisation and access rights: After verification, access rights are granted based on role and responsibilities. Centrally and digitally so that you always have access and remain in control.

PIAM in action: How does it work?

YIM's PIAM solution helps with the entire process, from application to revocation. For example, the solution automatically revokes access rights when something changes in the employment status of an identity. Also, all activities in the platform are recorded and closely monitored, so you have an up-to-date environment and full visibility for audits 24/7. 

PIAM seamlessly integrated with your systems

Whether it involves smart key systems, biometrics or smart cards, our PIAM solution links effortlessly with your existing infrastructure. Think of ERP systems such as SAP, Okta and Yardz. Everything works together in real time to make your security watertight.
