Integration of access logs with incident reporting

Purpose

1.1. Automate real-time transmission of physical or digital access log events (e.g., badge scans, door unlocks, visitor entries) to incident reporting systems for immediate analysis, alerting, and compliance management.
1.2. Ensure all anomalous or unauthorized access attempts trigger predefined security incident workflows.
1.3. Facilitate speedy evidence gathering for investigations in airstrip environments, enhancing government oversight and regulatory compliance.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Access granted or denied by readers (e.g., RFID, biometric, keypad).
2.2. Forced entry, door held open, or tamper alerts on access points.
2.3. Manual entry or correction of access logs by security personnel.
2.4. Scheduled batch log exports requiring incident review.
