Datacenters and Critical IT
Secure racks, cages and technical rooms.
Chain-of-custody controlled issuance and audit trail are standard. Mobile validation and keyless entry do not fit. Keyed access with safe issuance and controlled management points. Integrations are common but remain generically positioned.

Context and assets
Zones are strict. Access is task-specific. Logging and reporting are part of internal control. Issuance and return must be verifiable.
Recommended setup
Rights-based access with a key as the basis
Mechatronic cylinders on cages, racks, and technical rooms. Offline opening with audit trail.
Vault-driven issuance
Lockers as standard dispensing point. Profiles task-based and time-based. Issuance and return always recorded.
Controlled management points
Management points within secure zones for controlled synchronization.
Flex (wired)
Flex for status contacts and internal process links within the secure area.
Software and hosting
CAW Enterprise as the management base. EU-hosted dedicated when hosting is permitted. On-prem when IT governance logging or hosting policy requires it.
Pitfalls within the sector
Audience
Public designation of zone classification, integrations, or internal layout
Ad hoc
Ad hoc issuance without chain of custody
