In an increasingly digitalised world, where data and building security are closely linked, the topic of identity and access management is becoming increasingly important. Companies are faced with the challenge of managing physical and digital access efficiently, transparently and securely. With Salto IDM (Identity Management), Salto Systems offers a modern, scalable and web-based platform that meets precisely these requirements and at the same time creates the basis for an integrated security ecosystem.
Salto IDM is a centralised solution for physical identity and access management (PIAM). It enables the management and control of identities, roles and access rights across different systems. Centralised data collection and management allows companies to automatically map the entire lifecycle of an identity – from entry to internal role changes to departure. Existing HR, IT and security systems can be easily integrated so that all relevant data sources communicate with each other. The result is a significant reduction in manual administrative processes, fewer sources of error and increased transparency across all access activities.
A key feature of Salto IDM is role-based access control. Instead of assigning access rights to each user individually, the system defines roles – such as ‘employee’, “visitor” or ‘service provider’ – and assigns standardised authorisations to them. If a person’s role changes, the corresponding rights are automatically adjusted or revoked. This not only increases security, but also significantly reduces administrative effort.
The platform’s strengths are also evident in the area of visitor and contractor management. Visitors can register themselves via a self-service portal, receive invitations via calendar integration and, if necessary, be granted temporary digital access rights. This process is completely contactless and offers a high degree of convenience and efficiency for both the company and its guests.
In addition, Salto IDM provides real-time information about the presence and movements of people within the building. This feature not only supports security management, but also provides valuable data for space and resource planning. At the same time, the platform meets all common data protection and compliance requirements. Features such as the anonymisation of personal data and comprehensive audit logs ensure that companies can operate in an audit-proof manner and reliably comply with regulatory requirements.
The Salto IDM user interface is intuitively designed and allows easy navigation through dashboards, statistics and management functions. The solution can be operated both locally and in the cloud and can be seamlessly integrated with other Salto products such as Salto XS4 Face or Salto Space. This creates a holistic, networked system for intelligent building management that can be flexibly adapted to the needs of organisations of different sizes.
Overall, Salto IDM offers a powerful platform that intelligently combines physical security and digital processes. Companies benefit from greater efficiency, increased transparency and a clear reduction in administrative complexity. The automation of workflows and consistent management of identity data not only enhances security, but also lays the foundation for sustainable, future-oriented building management.
