Pre-Approved Vendor Management enables vetting, approval and specific access permissions for vendors, ensuring security, compliance and efficient entry
Pre-Approved Vendor Management in CloudGate helps corporations enable the vetting, approval and granting of specific access permissions to suppliers and service providers, ensuring security, compliance and efficient entry to designated areas of your physical premises.
Vetting and approval
In CloudGate, the Pre-Approved Vendor Management feature includes comprehensive vetting and approval processes, such as conducting thorough background checks on vendors and their personnel to ensure adherence to the organization's security and compliance standards. This also involves verifying the credentials and qualifications of vendors to confirm their authorization to perform required tasks.
Identity management
Identity management is streamlined through the pre-registration of vendor personnel in the PIAM system prior to arrival and secure, quick identification is facilitated by authentication methods such as key fobs, plastic badges and mobile credentials, including QR access codes and NFC wallet-based credentials.
Access permissions
Access permissions are granted based on the specific roles and responsibilities of vendor personnel through role-based access control, ensuring they only access necessary areas. Additionally, time-bound access credentials are provided, valid for the duration of the vendor’s engagement or the vendor’s registration policy.
