Employee access control at your repair shop
The shop's system stores prices, margins, customer data and the business's finances. Not every employee needs to see all of that, and nobody should be accessing it outside working hours without a reason. Employee access control is no longer just about turnstiles and front desks: today it also covers company data. Here is what it is, the common types and how Onmotor helps with this control.
What access control is
Access control is the set of technologies, hardware and software, that manages who can enter certain spaces. The term is common in buildings and gyms, but it also applies to the digital environment.
The goal is to prevent unauthorized access to places, documents or data, protecting people and company assets. Since the LGPD (Brazil's data protection law) requires care with personal data, this control also helps protect customer information.
Most common types of access control
Passwords
This is the simplest method, used in systems that require less security. Because they are not tied to a person, passwords can be shared with others, even without authorization.
Biometrics
Biometrics is considered one of the most secure methods, because only the person can gain access. Access is granted by fingerprint, facial recognition or iris scan.
Benefits of access control
Track employee movement
With good control, you can see who came in, who left, what they accessed and when.
Simplify operations
Technology solutions automate and centralize access permissions, reducing reliance on manual controls.
Increase security
Access control reduces the chance of unauthorized access and protects assets and people. Because records are stored, it is also easier to investigate an incident and identify security gaps.
How Onmotor helps with access control
The Onmotor system (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awgXHF-c6uo) lets you control employee access to company data. You can set each employee's start and end times in the system, blocking access outside that window. You can also record vacations, comp days and holidays.
