CLIQ® – Trusted Security For Critical Infrastructure
CLIQ® – Trusted Security For Critical Infrastructure

The challenge is to maintain the security of your critical infrastructure while guaranteeing access to employees, consultants and service crews round the clock to a range of different sites.

A combination of electronic and mechanical security, each key can be programmed individually to allow access to specific areas at specific times, accommodating constantly changing access requirements and helping to control workflows. CLIQ® has several advantages over old-fashioned locks. It combines highly encrypted electronic identification and mechanical security in a wide range of cylinder-type applications. The lock’s power is provided by a battery inside the programmable CLIQ® key.

CLIQ® Access Control - SaaS Solution
CLIQ® Access Control - SaaS Solution

ASSA ABLOY access control software can do the hard work, while you benefit from upgraded IT infrastructure, high availability and total management flexibility. The CLIQ® Software as a Service (SaaS) solution gives your access system the highest levels of security and scalability, saving you time, money and stress in the process. That’s why so many companies with sensitive assets trust CLIQ® SaaS. CLIQ® is a mechatronic locking system which combines the strengths of high-end mechanical and electronic security. Physical security is maximized with a range of electromechanical cylinders and padlocks, operated with intelligent, programmable, battery-powered keys. The intuitive CLIQ® Web Manager software supports efficient workflow management, enabling you to filter access to specific locks according to your precise needs. You can create individual schedules for users, doors or audit trails. With a few clicks, a CLIQ® key or system can require regular key revalidation, making it much safer to issue time-limited access to contractors or visitors. The software works securely to help you administer access control in the most efficient way for your site, in a self-managed IT environment or with ASSA ABLOY’s CLIQ® SaaS offering. “We designed our SaaS offering to remove the added strain of managing IT infrastructure at the CLIQ customer’s side,” says EMEA DAS Technical Support & operations Director, Thomas Akerberg. “Knowing our flexible, secure architecture has you covered leaves you free to concentrate on security management, rather than IT. “Our SaaS solution makes budgeting more predictable and removes the need to hire additional in-house IT support and maintenance teams. You always know ahead of time how much resource to allocate and you can scale infrastructure up or down instantly.” With ASSA ABLOY’s CLIQ® SaaS solution, you benefit from complete redundancy in data storage, meaning you meet compliance requirements without stress. We offer round-the-clock support, maintenance and incident reporting as standard, with Service Level Agreements delivering up to 99.5% availability. Your CLIQ® software is always up to date — a major benefit for cyber-security resilience, according to one recent market study*. Customers also rate SaaS above internal cloud or server solutions for flexibility, scalability, cost-effectiveness and suitability for managing access control in SMEs, according to survey data quoted in the same report. “Because they spend less on server hardware, less on staff and fewer hours ensuring software is up-to-date, our CLIQ® SaaS customers save time and money,” adds Thomas Akerberg. *: see https://campaigns.assaabloyopeningsolutions.eu/wacreport2018
