Checklist Operations – Streamlining tasks and threat response Universities require coordinated response across IT, facilities, and campus safety. Does your access control system reduce manual work and improve response speed during both daily operations and emergencies? Prioritize proactive threat detection features □ Can our team automate system responses based on campus-specific threat levels or security events? □ Does the system automatically filter out low-priority alarms to prevent operator fatigue? □ Can our system correlate access-denied events with video and alarms to speed investigations? Support coordinated emergency response □ Can we account for students and staff during evacuations across multiple buildings? □ Can access permissions be adjusted instantly by role or location during an incident? □ Does the system guide operators through documented campus emergency procedures? Automate credentialing and access workflows □ Can access control integrate with student information systems, human resources (HR), and housing databases to automate onboarding and offboarding? □ Can credentials and permissions update automatically when housing, courses, or roles change? □ Can post-incident logs support Clery investigations and internal reviews? Data – Supporting compliance, audits, and institutional accountability Access control data must support regulatory compliance, leadership reporting, and campus trust, not just daily operations. Use dashboards built for campus visibility □ Can we monitor real-time occupancy and people counts for classrooms, dorms, and event spaces? □ Can dashboards be customized for IT, facilities, and campus police use cases? □ Can access data be exported to institutional analytics or reporting platforms for audits, investigations, and leadership reporting? Simplify reporting and auditing readiness □ Can we generate reports for door activity, credentials, and occupancy required for Clery and FERPA- related reviews? □ Can ad hoc reports be shared with auditors, leadership, or campus police? □ Can reports be automated to reduce manual effort during audits or investigations?
