Security controls include end-to-end encrypted communication, lockdown, duress PINs, multi-factor authentication, a two-person rule, and measures against tailgating and anti-passback. The system supports up to 1,000 doors per server and 50,000 credentials; one interface can manage 64 servers and 1,000 doors. It provides roll call and mustering reports and supports attendance tracking. Open APIs can connect it with other systems, including time and attendance monitoring.
