iProtect
The iProtect Target Connector integrates iProtect as a target system with your source systems through the HelloID Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution from Tools4ever. This integration automates the management of persons, employees, keycards, and license plates. This article provides more information about this connector, its capabilities, and the benefits it delivers.
What is iProtect?
In today's digital era, security often brings digital security to mind first. However, the physical security of your organization remains just as important. iProtect is security management software developed by TKH Security that supports you in this area. The solution integrates and combines multiple security disciplines, including access control, video management, intrusion detection, and identification via intercom. iProtect supports verifying the identity of on-site individuals using card readers, setting up supervised tours through a facility, and authorizing users for specific spaces.
Why is an iProtect Integration Useful?
To give employees access to the spaces they are authorized to enter, iProtect must be configured accordingly, for example by registering a vehicle license plate for access to company premises or setting up keycards for access to specific areas. HelloID connects iProtect as a target system to your source systems, eliminating the need for manual administration and ensuring that employees always have access to the spaces they are authorized to enter. Based on source data, HelloID links an employee's keycard in iProtect to the correct keygroup. When data changes in your source system, HelloID detects these changes and automatically updates iProtect accordingly.
The iProtect connector supports integration with a range of common systems, including:
- Active Directory
- AFAS
How HelloID Integrates with iProtect
The security of your organization is critical, but it must never compromise employee productivity. It is therefore essential that employees always have access to the spaces and locations they need for their work, even when changes occur in your workforce. HelloID's integration with iProtect provides this assurance. Data exchange occurs through an XML/SQL interface over HTTPS. HelloID can update data via the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API. The connector requires an on-premises HelloID agent due to IP whitelisting and access restrictions.
Employees are productive at a new location from day one
When an employee starts at a new location, you want them to be productive immediately. A key requirement is that iProtect recognizes the employee at the new location on their first day and grants the correct physical access. The integration with HelloID makes this possible and ensures that iProtect automatically reflects changes in your HR system.
Effectively blocking access for former employees
You want to carefully control who has physical access to your business locations. Revoking access rights in a timely manner plays a critical role in this. When an employee leaves your organization, you want to ensure that they no longer have access to your physical locations and that their access rights are revoked promptly. HelloID's integration with iProtect handles this process automatically.
