Physical security is crucial for restricting entrance, providing mechanical protection through the use of high security locks, such as the UL437 CX5 high security cylinders. These advanced cylinders have undergone rigorous testing against various physical attacks, including picking, impressioning, forcing, drilling, sawing, prying, pulling, driving, and corrosion resistance.
To ensure comprehensive security, effective key management systems are essential for overseeing the distribution of keys and their assigned users. Utilizing managed keyblanks inhibits unauthorized key duplication. Key management systems should include the following elements:
- A key control document
- A designated key control manager
- A secure facility for key storage and record keeping
- A clear procedure for key assignment, requests, delivery, and return
- A policy addressing non-returned keys
- Necessary forms to support policies and procedures
- Guidelines for product servicing
