Access Control
Protect your people and property - and minimize business loss - with an integrated access control system.
The Challenge
Unauthorized, unrestricted access to your business opens the door to a variety of security issues, including internal theft and external threats.
Internal Theft
Unfortunately, internal theft can be an all too common issue when it comes to business security. Tracking and controlling access within your facility can not only help eliminate employee theft of physical property, but your intellectual property as well.
External Threats
Unauthorized intruders pose a threat to both your business and your employees. Whether it’s an attempted robbery after business hours or a violent incident, external threats can be minimized by restricting access to your business.
Cost-Effective Security That Limits Your Exposure
When you choose a SONITROL access control system, you receive a cost-effective security solution that limits your exposure to both internal and external threats.
Our team of experts will replace your existing mechanical locks and keys with electronic locks, badges or cards, and readers. You have two options when it comes to managing your system: Managed Access Control or Cloud Access Control.
The Technology
Manage your employee's access to certain doors, see who goes where, add and remove users, and more with mySONITROL - the online security management platform. SONITROL offers a wide variety of card readers and credentials based on your business needs, including bluetooth credentials via your mobile device.
A History of Managed Access Control
In 1990, SONITROL was the first security company to offer “Integrated Intrusion and Central Station Managed Access Control” as a service - and we’ve been leading the industry ever since.

Which System is Right for My Business?
A SONITROL intrusion system is the main factor in deciding which access control solution is right for you and your business
If you’re looking to add access control to a system that already includes verified audio and video intrusion detection, then integrating managed access into your already existing system is your best fit from both a cost and features perspective.
If you’re looking for a small, 1-2 door access control system only - without intrusion detection - then SONITROL Cloud Access is the best solution for both cost-efficiency and ease of installation.
