Security for offices

A corporate office does not receive the general public; the issue isn't shoplifting, it's... who accesses what, and what the law permits to be recorded. Access control, alarms, and appropriately scaled video surveillance.

The nuance

No public access,
different rules

Many companies believe they need prefectural authorization to install cameras in their offices. If the site is not open to the public and access is controlled, this is not the case: only personal data regulations apply.

However, the onus shifts to the employees: individual prior notification, consultation with the Social and Economic Committee (CSE), data processing register and, above all, the proportionality of the system.

The system

What makes sense for offices

In offices, access control provides the primary value, while video serves as a supplementary measure.

01 / ACCESS

Entrance and upper floors

Tag · Profiles · Schedules

Each employee accesses areas corresponding to their role during their scheduled shifts. Lost badges are deactivated immediately.

02 / SENSITIVE

Server, archives, management

Named access

Technical areas and restricted zones are managed separately, with a timestamped log of access events.

03 / VISITORS

Reception and service providers

Temporary rights

Limited-validity tags for external contractors, instead of leaving a door open or lending a key.

04 / INTRUSION

Vacant premises

Night · Weekend

Detection for access points and high-value areas, with groups that can be armed separately by floor or department.

Frequently asked questions

What we're asked

Is prefectural authorization required for offices?

Not if the premises are not open to the public and access is controlled via identification, a badge, or a code. In this case, only personal data regulations apply: maintaining a record of processing activities and informing individuals.

Can employees be filmed?

Not for continuous monitoring of a workstation. Cameras may cover access points and sensitive areas, provided employees are individually informed beforehand. Restrooms, changing rooms, and break rooms are excluded.

When must the CSE be consulted?

Once a company has at least 50 employees, the committee must be informed and consulted before the implementation of any system capable of monitoring employee activity.

Can access control be used for time tracking?

That is not its intended purpose, and using it in this way—without a legal basis or prior notification—raises compliance issues. We configure access rights and retention periods to ensure the system remains proportionate to the security objective. That is not a problem. We take over maintenance for systems installed by other providers, covering most brands on the market.

Do the doors need to be changed?

Rarely. Most existing doors can be fitted with an electric strike or electromagnetic lock without replacing the door unit, while taking emergency exit requirements into account.

Can multiple sites be managed?

Yes: a single badge per employee, valid across multiple locations with site-specific access rights, all managed from a central station.
