Data storage


The management of record keeping and data security are key factors for consideration within access control systems. Typically, individuals ‘log-in’ and permissions are a point of risk. Failsafe system controls and procedures can ensure log-ins are up to date, with access permissions for employees or contractors added and withdrawn in a timely fashion - simple yet essential risk management. The storage of personal data by access control systems must also be secure, and adhere to GDPR data protection requirements.

that installers, operators and managers of access control systems, deliver consistent best practice with fit-for-purpose systems and equipment, which helps keep people safe. NSI approval signals capable and competent


providers who are well placed to interpret customer needs and deliver solutions that work. NSI approvals cover a wide range of international and British Standards as well as its own Codes of Practices.
