Project Overview
Client/Industry:
Multinational Oil Field Company, UAE (operations across GCC countries)
Service Domain:
Physical Security & Workforce Safety – Centralized Access Control
Scope:
Deployment of a centralized access control system with anti-passback controls and a real-time dashboard to track total occupancy (floor-level and office-level) across multiple GCC sites, ensuring compliance, security, and emergency readiness.
Engagement Period:
Q4 2025

Business Challenge
The client required a modern and centralized access management solution to improve both security and emergency response capabilities. Challenges included:
- Disparate access control systems across multiple GCC offices, leading to inconsistent policies.
- No anti-passback mechanism, allowing misuse of access cards.
- Absence of a central dashboard to show real-time occupancy across locations.
- Regulatory and HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) requirements to know exact headcount during emergencies.
Solution Delivered
BizCloud implemented a centralized and scalable access control solution integrated across GCC locations:
1. Assessment & Design
- Conducted site surveys across UAE, KSA, and Oman offices.
- Designed a multi-site access control architecture with centralized server cluster.
- Defined policies for role-based access and anti-passback enforcement.
2. Deployment
- Installed biometric + RFID readers at entry/exit points across all sites.
- Implemented anti-passback feature to prevent card sharing or tailgating.
- Integrated access control with central dashboard platform accessible to security and HSE teams.
3. Emergency Dashboard & Monitoring
- Configured a real-time occupancy dashboard to display total number of people inside office/floor.
- Built drill-down views per country, site, building, floor, and department.
- Enabled emergency muster reports that can be generated instantly during fire drills or evacuations.
4. Testing & Validation
- Performed system integration testing with HR systems and security monitoring.
- Conducted emergency simulations to validate occupancy reporting accuracy.
- Ensured compliance with local HSE and security regulations.
5. Knowledge Transfer
- Trained both security personnel and HSE officers on system usage.
- Delivered SOPs and dashboards for real-time monitoring and emergency handling.
Key Features Implemented
- Centralized Multi-Site Access Control across GCC operations.
- Anti-Passback Controls to prevent card misuse.
- Biometric + RFID-based entry/exit tracking.
- Real-Time Occupancy Dashboard (floor-level and office-level visibility).
- Emergency Headcount Reporting for fire/evacuation scenarios.
- Integration with HR systems for employee identity synchronization.
Results & Benefits
- Achieved 100% visibility into occupancy across multiple countries.
- Improved employee safety and compliance with HSE requirements.
- Reduced security risks through anti-passback enforcement.
- Enabled faster emergency response with instant headcount dashboards.
- Future-ready infrastructure scalable to additional GCC sites.
