Automated access logs and incident reporting

Purpose

1. Automate the collection, storage, analysis, and escalation of facility access logs and security incident reports, centralizing all activities for audit, compliance, and rapid response requirements.

2. Eliminate manual record-keeping, rapidly detect unauthorized or anomalous access, automate incident reporting to appropriate command channels, and ensure compliance with military facility protocols.

3. Enable data-driven automation for facility security monitoring by integrating access control logs, surveillance system outputs, and incident management platforms.

Trigger Conditions

1. Badge swipe at controlled entry points.

2. Biometric scan registration/failure.

3. Door/lock opened outside authorized times.

4. Alarm event or sensor trigger (intrusion, fire, etc.).

5. Manual incident report entry by authorized personnel.

6. Detection of repeated access attempts or denied entries.

7. Scheduled automated audits.
