Campus Security covers forms of security such personal background checks; campus and zonal access cards; car park access control. These are all resources or procedures which need to be completed by day one for a new employee.

Secure and Prompt Provisioning

Ensure new employees meet security clearance and are allocated appropriate campus access from day one.

• New Hire Workflow automatically alerts security staff of an expected new employee.
• Role-based provisioning provides a clear definition of the new employee’s campus security requirements.
• Personal background checks are defined according to Role and Department. As with Information Security, exceptional requirements for security checks are processed through Authorization Workflow.
• Access badge provision can potentially be automated if the badge system has hooks available to Vizor. This can be particularly useful when processing large groups such as an intake of medical student interns.

Continuity of Security in Role Changes

As with Information Security, in dynamic organizations it is easy for campus security privileges to get out of synch through poorly managed changes of role.

• Authorization Workflow ensures continuity of security through any provisioning changes.
• Record the request and justification for each change in campus access provision.
• This process includes confirmation of status of existing access provisions; is the new provision in addition to, or replacing, the current status?
• Batch mode handles bulk changes of access provision for groups such as the medical student interns above.

Security and Asset Recovery in Role Changes and Terminations

Lack of promptly executed process in support of termination creates security risks and results in failure to recover assets.

• Termination Workflow drives the restriction or outright cancellation of an ID access badge.
• If the access badge system has the necessary hooks, Vizor Complete can automate this action on-demand from the Business Manager or HR executive managing the dismissal – particularly relevant for an employee just dismissed and motivated to retaliate.
• Even at a replacement cost of just $10, re-usable access control badges should not be allowed to disappear when an employee, contractor or intern leaves.
• Losses of high value assets such as laptops may be much less commonplace but can total tens of thousands of dollars per annum, particularly taking into account unrecovered licenses and the costs of configuring the replacements.
• Vizor Complete produces a report detailing all Resources currently allocated to the individual concerned. Security, IT and HR can coordinate actions to maximize the value of recovered assets.
