Security is playing an increasingly important role within care institutions. An example of this is the NEN 7510 standard for information security in the Dutch health sector, which outlines how networks within care institutions must be secured. In addition to external networks, this also applies to internal networks in particular, where people have to log onto their PCs (more quickly).

The Dutch Central Information Unit on Health Care Professions (CBIG), an agency of the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, has created the UZI register and accompanying UZI-card, or the professionalisation and acceleration of this process.

Card management system
All of these measures involve considerable red tape and mean that many different cards are required. A card management system in combination with one hybrid card for logical security, physical security, identification and network security provides an efficient, easily manageable solution to this security issue. iProtect™ security management provides this solution. This integrated, web-based system enables the access rights, login rights and data encryption to be encoded onto a card in one procedure. Your staff will only have one card or tag in their pocket. This card will contain the cardholder’s personal data and login data and their access rights for within the building. If the card features a passport photograph it can also serve as a (visual) means of identification. The card can also be used to obtain clothing, using company cafeteria charging systems, lockers, etc.

This system reduces card encoding to one procedure. Another major advantage of this system is the fact that the cards can be centrally activated and deactivated. In the event that a card is lost or employment is terminated, the card can be deactivated at the click of a button.
