Electronic locking puts this Italian bank in full control of its entrances

Protect people and assets

Although the bank was originally formed as a mutual, new financial sector regulations required it to become an S.p.A. from 2016.

Bank security managers sought new access control to form an integral part of a system which ensures both financial assets and people are fully protected on Creval premises.

Key requirements included:

• A trusted, secure locking alternative to a standard mechanical master-key system   
• A powerful, electronic way to administer their system based familiar physical keys   
• The flexibility to filter access permissions to individual needs, so not everyone can access every area

Key-based and electronic

Creval doors are locked with programmable electronic CLIQ cylinders. Staff carry a single battery-powered CLIQ key, programmed with appropriate access permissions. AES encryption is incorporated in all microelectronics.

Key management is easy using software operated from a local PC or securely on the web via a standard browser.

Fine-grained access

Creval’s security manager grants access based on scheduled times and specific doors, right down to the level of individual site user. Time-limited access rights for keys keeps premises secure if a key gets lost.

Audit trails and event logs are collected to the same, fine-grained degree.
