Enterprise Security – Electronic Security

Standards and Guidelines for Access Control

Purpose:

The purpose of this document is to establish policies and standards to protect physical access to secured locations and facilities for Orange County Government Board of County Commissioners

(OCGBCC) through Door Access Control systems across the OCGBCC Enterprise.

Scope:

The standards in this document apply to all Physical Security Systems located within OCGBCC information systems and networks. The Information Systems and Services, Enterprise Security

Department, is responsible to oversee all aspects of Electronic Security Control across the

OCGBCC Enterprise. These systems are 24x7x365 production environments which are designed to increase safety, efficiency and limit liability to OCGBCC and its citizens.

Definition:

“Door Access Control” refers to access control using badges and/or PIN numbers and/or biometrics to access doors throughout Orange County.

Policy:

Any new access control platforms solicited for new buildings or replacement for existing buildings shall adhere to these standards. Any and all Access Control installations, removals or modifications shall require the direct involvement of the Electronic Security Unit and documented approval by the Orange County Security Committee.

Standards:

There is one standard Door Access Control system used by OCGBCC Lenel OnGuard. This system integrates disparate hardware and software components providing reliable management interfaces across the enterprise network.

For all new implementations or modifications, all hardware components shall be compliant with the Mercury Open Architecture.

The different hardware components that work directly and/or integrate with Lenel are:

Lenel was selected by OCGBCC’s Facilities Management in 2002 after an extensive evaluation of all industry standards. A consultant company was engaged to provide an analysis of each of the solutions and it was determined that Lenel was the best fit for OCGBCC. A steering committee was formed to evaluate and approve this system. The members of the committee were

Facilities Management, Capital Projects, Purchasing, Administrative Services and Information

Systems and Services. This solution was also approved by the Board of County Commissioners.

There are several advantages that this product was able to provide that the competitors were not. Some examples of this include: This is an enterprise solution and in 2002 there was no competitors that had an enterprise solution. Lenel was a national company with enterprise support agreements that no other vendor had in place. Lenel had a proven record to install in an enterprise environment that included 100’s of buildings and 1000’s of readers over a 1000 square mile area that the other vendors did not have.

The maintenance for Lenel is very reasonable in comparison to other vendors. Lenel does not provide direct support; we must go through an integrator company that is licensed and certified in Lenel to get support. The training program for these integrators and Orange County staff is extensive and comprehensive. All training classes are certified by Lenel. Support services are very minimal as the platform is a very stable environment. All hardware is readily available and integrated with many different suppliers to reduce any downtime that may arise.

Integrator is responsible to program any new or add on device in the Lenel System.
