How a Leading Financial Services & Employee Benefits Administrator Strengthened Workplace Security With EntryIQ
From manual visitor logs to compliant, secure, audit-ready visitor management for a 900+ employee operation
The Problem
As a specialist in pension administration, employee benefits, health & insurance services, the company handles sensitive personal and financial data every day.
Despite high compliance requirements, the visitor management process was still manual:
- Paper-based entry logs with incomplete or illegible details
- Visitors entering without proper host verification
- Security relying on guesswork instead of data
- No real-time visibility of who was on-site
- Difficult audits due to scattered or missing logs
- Delays at reception during client meetings, vendor visits, and contractor entries
- Data protection teams are unable to track access during sensitive periods
In an industry where trust, data privacy, and compliance matter most, the existing system did not meet operational or regulatory expectations.
Before EntryIQ
This led to security risks, poor visitor experience, and compliance vulnerabilities — especially during internal and external audits.
