Valid Access
Flexible Physical Access Control Solutions built for modern buildings, multi-site estates, and evolving security requirements. Deploy on-premise, hybrid, or cloud-based systems while retaining full control of your data and infrastructure.
Access Control Solutions For Every Situation
On Prem
On-premise access control systems are hosted locally within a building or organisation’s own network, with all data and system management retained on site.
This provides maximum control over system configuration, data storage, and security policies, making it suitable for environments with strict compliance or data governance requirements.
Cloud
Cloud access control systems are managed via a secure online platform, allowing administrators to configure users, doors, and permissions from anywhere..
There is no requirement for local server infrastructure, reducing on-site hardware and maintenance.
This approach is well suited to multi-site organisations that require rapid deployment, and ongoing scalability.
Hybrid
Hybrid access control combines the strengths of both cloud and on-premise systems, with core system functionality and data managed locally, while enabling remote access and administration via secure cloud connectivity.
This approach offers flexibility and resilience, while still allowing centralised management across multiple sites.
Access Control Solutions. For Future-Ready Security
Valid Access is a powerful access control platform designed to adapt to your environment, not the other way around.
Whether deployed on-premise, in the cloud, or as a hybrid model, Valid Access gives system owners complete visibility, resilience, and long-term control.
By combining the scalability of cloud technology with the assurance of local system management, Valid Access enables secure growth without vendor lock-in or data compromise. The platform integrates seamlessly with industry-standard access control hardware and intuitive user interfaces, making it ideal for commercial, industrial, education, healthcare, and multi-site applications.
