The world of work is changing daily, from companies changing their entire operations system to work remotely to others introducing hybrid work models. As a result, work operations are entirely different now than they were five years ago.

Finance institutions need to stay ahead of this curve to ensure their workplace is adaptable and ready for what the future will bring. In this article, we will detail five of the best security [technologies and corporate security systems that all financial](https://www.financedigest.com/financial-firms-can-use-technology-combat-todays-cybercriminals.html "How financial firms can use technology to combat today’s cybercriminals") institutions should consider introducing to their workplace.

## Finding a Cloud-based Physical Access Control System with an Open API

[Companies welcome new team members all the time while also saying](https://www.financedigest.com/anyone-can-write-assignment-need-people-able-apply-new-skills-workplace-says-top-investment-management-company.html "“Anyone can write an assignment, but we need people to be able to apply their new skills to the workplace,” says top investment management company") goodbye to some of their current staff members. So, it is essential to [learn](https://www.openpath.com/blog-post/commercial-building-security-systems-trends) which corporate security systems can be integrated with cloud-based access control. Access control systems can accurately disable [account access for past employees or authorize new employees through a mobile phone credential or other automated](https://www.financedigest.com/5-common-mistakes-around-accounts-payable-automation.html "5 Common Mistakes Around Accounts Payable Automation") authorization methods.

This HR-managed system will guarantee that the team’s cloud-based [data is secure](https://www.financedigest.com/the-financial-sector-must-act-to-tackle-internal-data-security.html "THE FINANCIAL SECTOR MUST ACT TO TACKLE INTERNAL DATA SECURITY") and only allows current and trusted employees access to it, supporting an efficient and dependable workflow with little interference needed.

## Automated Wellness Attestation

Although the workforce seems to have recovered in many ways from the pandemic, it is still crucial that [financial institutions](https://www.financedigest.com/how-can-financial-institutions-make-the-most-of-data-for-their-business.html "HOW CAN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS MAKE THE MOST OF DATA FOR THEIR BUSINESS?   ") keep a system that reflects the worries we have faced in the past few years. This ensures that their system can be used if we [ever find ourselves facing](https://www.financedigest.com/changing-face-b2b-business-practices-understanding-timeless-behaviour-important-ever.html "The changing face of B2B business practices – why understanding timeless behaviour is more important than ever.") another public health emergency.

Wellness attestation refers to your [employees proving that their wellness is okay through means such as fever checks which became a popular method of allowing people building access](https://www.financedigest.com/700000-employees-across-the-uk-have-access-to-fair-finance-will-reach-one-million-employees-in-2017.html "700,000 Employees Across The UK Have Access to Fair Finance, Will Reach One Million Employees in 2017") in 2020.

Along with automated wellness attestation, companies operating in a [hybrid model](https://www.financedigest.com/how-collaboration-technologies-are-helping-organisations-to-embrace-a-hybrid-working-model.html "How collaboration technologies are helping organisations to embrace a hybrid working model") should implement smart desk management that allows employees to book desks for specific days. This will help to [keep track of your company’s workflow while ensuring there is enough](https://www.financedigest.com/the-challenge-of-keeping-data-secure-why-in-house-security-isnt-enough.html "The challenge of keeping data secure: why in-house security isn’t enough") space for all staff members when they choose to come. This information should all be accessible through a [cloud-based security system](https://www.financedigest.com/a-culture-of-cyber-security-throughout-financial-services-organisations.html) that management can oversee.

## Installing Cloud-based Access Control for Office Locations

It is expected that many financial institutions have increased new locations in their company in the last few years due to many [remote workers](https://www.brafton.com.au/blog/content-marketing/how-to-work-from-home-a-guide-for-beginner-and-seasoned-remote-workers-alike/) being employed. So, if you have started to set up offices in new places, too, you will need a [management system](https://www.financedigest.com/why-a-rules-management-system-can-untie-financial-services-hands.html "Why a rules management system can untie financial services’ hands") that you can oversee from afar.

Cloud-based access control is the best way to do this, allowing [managers to view real-time entries from their staff](https://www.financedigest.com/edf-staff-shareholders-file-complaint-over-management.html "EDF staff, shareholders file complaint over management") members or grant visitor access. This ensures that all locations are looked after and have a high level of [security to make your staff feel safe and give managers](https://www.financedigest.com/managing-the-hidden-security-gap-in-financial-services-the-office-printer.html "MANAGING THE HIDDEN SECURITY GAP IN FINANCIAL SERVICES: THE OFFICE PRINTER") peace of mind that they can check who is on site.

## Using Cloud-based Hardware Such As Video Intercoms

Cloud-based access [control can be leveraged by incorporating video intercoms into their system](https://www.financedigest.com/version-control-systems-market-gain-impetus-due-to-the-growing-demand-over-2017-2026.html "Version Control Systems Market Gain Impetus due to the Growing Demand over 2017 – 2026"). This means that a more [secure system that allows managers to physically see who is requesting building access will be used instead of a fob or key](https://www.financedigest.com/2023-fintech-prediction-secure-and-private-data-usage-is-key.html "2023 FinTech Prediction: Secure and Private Data Usage is Key") entry.

This can make it easier to identify building visitors and help to form bonds with [staff in other locations by still being able to check in and speak to them at the start of the working day](https://www.financedigest.com/amazon-to-lay-off-staff-in-u-s-canada-and-costa-rica-by-end-of-day.html "Amazon to lay off staff in U.S., Canada and Costa Rica by end of day") to grant them building access.

## Adopting Touchless Door Readers and Other Biometric Access Control Devices

Giving every member of staff who [needs access to your building a key or fob is becoming more outdated and can increase security](https://www.financedigest.com/why-preparation-for-new-swift-cyber-security-standards-needs-to-start-now.html "‘Why preparation for new SWIFT cyber security standards needs to start now’") risks if staff members lose their access credentials or lend them to unauthorized visitors.

The best way to [overcome this struggle is by introducing touchless door readers to your building](https://www.financedigest.com/financial-challenges-for-single-parents-overcoming-obstacles-and-building-stability.html "Financial challenges for single parents: overcoming obstacles and building stability"). This biometric access control system grants staff access by mobile phone credentials, eliminating the [risks of having common touch points](https://www.financedigest.com/france-seeks-strategy-as-nuclear-waste-site-risks-saturation-point.html "France seeks strategy as nuclear waste site risks saturation point") that can spread germs or missing physical credentials.

## Summary

Security [technology is constantly improving](https://www.financedigest.com/how-technology-is-improving-car-safety.html "How technology is improving car safety") and growing in efficiency, allowing financial institutions to scale their businesses in different locations while still giving managerial positions and administrators the power to oversee physical entrants and data from any site.

The above points are perfect for future-proofing any company that will still [need an office,](https://www.financedigest.com/gdpr-and-the-need-for-a-data-protection-officer-whats-your-obligation.html "GDPR and the Need for a Data Protection Officer – What’s Your Obligation?")

as most [financial institutions](https://www.financedigest.com/3-ways-financial-institutionscan-leverage-live-engagement-on-social-media.html "3 ways financial institutions can leverage Live Engagement on social media") do. From [decreasing the risk of passing germs](https://synergy2ms.com/commercial-building-hygiene-and-security-trends-you-must-adopt/) to ensuring employees are of sound physical health, technology gives companies a lot of power, which they can use to benefit their own business while making the workplace a more hopeful and safe place to be.
