Master key security system provides data protection in hospitals

Data protection has become an increasing concern within hospitals: last year, NHS departments reported almost 500 data breeches to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

When a key is copied or lost, it poses an immediate security threat.

Unauthorised copies of keys are often distrubuted to an unknown number of people; hospitals can incur great costs in trying to solve the problem.

In healthcare facilities, it is essential that confidential information and expensive medical equipment are safeguarded.

Therefore, access control requirements are critical.

Data protection with keyULTRA

The keyULTRA master key system offers an effective way of ensuring that no unauthorised keys are cut.

DuraPIN technology protects both the key and cylinder assembly from illegal duplication; it permits access for authorised personnel only.

keyULTRA ensures that security and facilities managers are fully aware of everyone with access to each area of the building.

The system has been fitted in a number of healthcare facilties across Britain, including Birmingham’s Good Hope Hospital and Arnold Lodge, a medium secure psychiatric unit, which is based in Leicester.
