Automated logging of vault and safe access activity

Purpose

1.1. Automate the detailed logging of physical and digital vault/safe access to ensure compliance, enhance security, and reduce manual errors.
1.2. Automatedly centralize all access transactions—entry/exit, failed attempts, authorized/unusual access—across multiple devices and locations.
1.3. Automates real-time tracking for audits, regulatory adherence, and operational transparency for managers and compliance officers.
1.4. Automating access records helps in incident investigation, pattern monitoring, and automated threat detection escalation.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Vault or safe access via code, card, biometric, or key—automatedly logged on unlock/lock action.
2.2. Failed authentication attempts trigger automated logging.
2.3. Scheduled or random audits initiate automated access log exports.
2.4. Remote access or system override triggers automated alerts and logging.
2.5. Automation applies to both local and remote (IoT-enabled) safes/vaults.
