Evaluating Visitor Management Security in Your Facility

Thursday, February 25, 2010 by John Murzycki

How often does your organization take a fresh look at the way you are managing visitors in your lobby and the visitor management techniques you use at your facilities?

The truth is that many organizations fail to periodically review their visitor security goals to develop effective procedures to both safeguard their facilities and people, as well as to maintain the image of a professional and well-run organization.

So here are a few items to consider:

Use alerts in conjunction with your visitor registration system, which will allow you to take certain actions when a visitor has entered the facility a certain number of times.

Decide whether you require a photo of the visitor, scanned from a license or taken by a web cam during visitor sign in, and whether you include a photo on visitor ID badges.

Use color coded badges to quickly identify the type of visitor (contractor, intern, etc), and decide whether that visitor should be escorted by an employee.

Use Watch Lists, such as the National Sex Offender Watch List and Government Denied Database, to screen against unwanted visitors.

Analyze visitor data using your visitor monitoring software to produce reports to determine if there are trends that will allow you to operate more effectively.

Use your visitor registration software to print barcodes on visitor badges which allow for rapid check out.

These are only a few of the visitor management solutions that will help improve visitor security and the efficiency of your operations.
