Safeguarding Schools with Modern Access Control
We combine ISA’s ISA Entry platform with our on-site engineering to enforce fine-grained rules (by users, roles, time periods, holidays/weekday schedules) and automate the school day. From morning arrivals to after-hours events, every door action is logged with audit trails to support safeguarding and compliance.
ISA Entry for Schools — Secure, Scalable Access Control
Born from a proven cloud school platform, ISA Entry integrates with room bookings, fire alarms, emergency attendance, staff attendance, visitor registration & entry. It supports silent alarms under duress, personalised door-reader displays (e.g., “Booked for meeting/class”), and custom smart cards for governors, staff, visitors and contractors.
Hardware, Cabling & Physical Access
From door controllers and readers to PoE, cabinets and containment, we design and install the physical layer your access system depends on—Cat6/Cat6a and OM3/OM4 fibre, armoured links between buildings, tidy cabinets and labelled patching. We produce asset maps and schedule works around term dates with DBS-checked staff. (Seamless handover to your estates and safeguarding teams.)
Emergency Response: Lockdowns, Muster, Duress
Trigger site lockdown in a click, generate live muster lists, and enable silent duress using a designated fingerprint that alerts security while allowing controlled entry. Align emergency runbooks with your fire panel and assembly points; log everything for incident reviews.
HelpDesk Heroes — Access Control Delivered for Education
We align roles with your MIS/HR groups, configure weekday/holiday/exam schedules, and train reception, safeguarding and estates teams. Our helpdesk targets rapid response, with proactive checks and term-time change freezes when required—so safeguarding stays strong and lessons run without disruption
Multi-Site & MAT Control
Centrally govern doors across sites with roles and time profiles; apply consistent holiday rules and audit trails.
Attendance & Live Muster
Automate attendance via facial recognition, and pull live muster at the push of a button during drills or incidents.
Visitors & Pick-Ups
Fast-track visitors with encoded access on printed cards; verify authorised pick-ups using single-use QR.
Legacy Kit & Migration
We adopt your existing doors/cabling where viable, phase in new readers/controllers and keep learning uninterrupted.
Schedules, Exams & Events
Apply weekday/holiday/exam schedules, temporary events and exceptions without rewriting your whole door policy.
Compliance & Audits
Every access event is recorded with context to support safeguarding checks, governor reporting and incident review.
