What's included

The most common security gap in a 50 to 200 staff business is the leaver who left months ago but whose card still opens the building. The problem is structural — most access control systems run their own user list, separate from corporate identity. When a staff member leaves, IT disables their Microsoft 365 account; nobody updates the access control system because nobody owns it. Tying access control to Entra ID closes that gap permanently — one offboarding action revokes both, every time, with an audit log to prove it.

  • Site survey covering door count, reader placement, hardware type and integration scope
  • Reader selection (card, mobile credential, biometric, combinations)
  • Lock hardware install (magnetic locks, strikes, motorised hardware, request-to-exit)
  • Cabling and power runs back to control panel — under Clipsal/Actassi and Full Electrical Registration
  • Control panel commissioning and credential provisioning
  • Microsoft Entra ID / Microsoft 365 integration for unified identity
  • Integration with alarm and CCTV on a single dashboard where present
  • Audit log configuration with export pattern for compliance review

How we deliver it

We design the access control system against the building, not against a hardware catalogue. Door hardware, cabling routes, power runs and the control panel are scoped as one install. Because Alexis IT holds Full Electrical Registration and Clipsal/Actassi cabling certification, we run the power to the readers, the data cable back to the panel and the panel-side wiring under one accountability model — no separate locksmith or sparky callback. Identity integration ties readers to Entra ID groups, so access permissions reflect actual organisational structure rather than a flat user list.

Outcomes

  • Leaver offboarding revokes both digital and physical access in one step
  • Multi-site portfolios on one credential per staff member, one dashboard for portfolio managers
  • Audit logs that satisfy incident review or compliance audit without manual reconciliation
  • Door-level integration with alarm and CCTV for unified incident timelines

Frequently asked questions.

What's the difference between swipe-card and mobile-credential access?
Swipe-card systems issue a physical card; the card is presented to a reader. Mobile-credential systems issue a digital credential to a smartphone app; the phone is presented to a Bluetooth or NFC reader. Mobile credentials are easier to issue and revoke, harder to lose, and integrate with corporate identity. Cards remain useful for visitor and contractor use. Most current installs run both.
Can you integrate access control with existing security and CCTV?
Yes — and integration is one of the strongest reasons to consolidate access control under one provider. Integrated, an access event is logged alongside the alarm state and the CCTV camera covering the door — so an incident review pulls one timeline. We design the integration so all three share a common identity layer and dashboard.
Do you install access control at multi-site businesses?
Yes — multi-site is one of the cleanest cases for access control consolidation. Each site gets its own readers and door hardware, but all sites authenticate against one central identity system (typically Microsoft Entra ID) so a staff member uses one credential everywhere and an offboarding revokes access at every site in one step.
How much does a commercial access control system cost?
Cost depends on door count, reader type (card, mobile credential, biometric, combinations), lock hardware required (magnetic lock, strike, motorised), cabling and power runs back to the control panel, and integration scope. We price against a documented door schedule and actual integration scope.
Can access control link to Microsoft 365 or Entra ID single sign-on?
Yes — and the integration is genuinely useful. When access control ties to Entra ID, the same identity that governs Microsoft 365 email, files and Teams also governs physical door access. Onboarding provisions both in one step; offboarding revokes both in the same step (which closes the most common security gap — leavers whose cards still work for weeks).
Does your access control provide audit logs for compliance?
Yes — every install produces a comprehensive audit log: who tapped which credential at which door, at what time, with what outcome. Logs are retained per your compliance requirement, exportable in formats compliance reviewers can ingest, and indexed for fast incident review.
