Does your organisation fall under the Critical Entity Resilience Act (Wwke)? Then you have to deal with stricter requirements around security and continuity. Think of energy companies, drinking water suppliers, transport organisations, healthcare institutions, data centres and financial institutions.
The law, overseen by the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security, requires you to identify risks and take demonstrable measures. These are not just policies on paper, but concrete solutions that actually mitigate vulnerabilities. One of the key components of this is physical access control.
Why physical security is crucial
You can have your digital security in perfect order, but if someone can enter your premises or building unauthorised, there remains a major risk. Physical access to a server room, technical installation or logistics hub can directly affect the continuity of your organisation.
Among other things, the Wwke asks you to:
- Restrict access to critical areas
- To record who enters when
- Prevent mob behaviour
- Demonstrate that security measures are working
That requires more than a loose pass reader on the wall. It requires a well-thought-out physical access concept.
Our products as a basis for your resilience
At Geran Access Products BV, we provide the physical hardware for controlled access. Our products work with virtually any access control system that uses a potential-free contact. So you can keep your existing software and we enhance the physical layer.
Below you can see how our products contribute to your compliance and safety.
Speed gates
Do you want maximum control over who enters a secure area? Then walk-through locks are a logical choice.
A pass-through lock allows access to only one person at a time. One door only opens when the other is closed. By doing so, you make pass-through behaviour physically impossible.
This is particularly relevant for:
- Data centres
- Energy and utility companies
- Government locations
- Financial institutions
With a walk-through lock, you demonstrate that you strictly control access and actively mitigate risks.
Turnstiles
For outdoor areas and industrial environments, turnstiles provide a robust physical barrier. Certainly full-height versions provide complete closure of a site.
Benefits for you:
- 24/7 controlled access
- Clear separation between public and secure area
- High resistance to vandalism and intensive use
- Integration with your existing access control system
This prevents unauthorised people from easily entering your premises.
Access gates
Do you have a representative entrance where security and appearance should go hand in hand? Then speedgates and entrance gates are the answer.
They combine:
- Fast turnaround
- Detection of follower behaviour
- Sleek, professional look
- Linking with badge or biometric systems
This increases security without giving your entrance a closed character.
Barriers
Don't forget vehicle access, either. For many critical locations, control over entering and exiting traffic is essential.
With barriers:
- Separate your vehicle and pedestrian flows
- Limit your unauthorised access to the premises
- Integrate easily with license plate recognition or badges
Combined with turnstiles, you create a complete and manageable access concept.
From obligation to reinforcement
The Critical Entity Resilience Act is not an administrative formality. It is a clear call to strengthen your physical and organisational resilience.
By investing in:
- Speed gates
- Turnstiles
- Access gates
- Barriers
Reduce your risks and increase control over your critical processes. We are happy to help you translate legislation into a practical, sustainable solution that suits your location and risk profile. Resilience starts with the basics. And that basis is controlled access.
