Empuls secures physical premises through biometric access control for employees and QR code-based visitor registration, replacing traditional identification badges entirely.
Physical access control is a foundational pillar of enterprise security frameworks, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Rather than issuing identification badges — which can be lost, shared, or cloned — Xoxoday Empuls uses a layered, technology-driven approach to managing who enters its facilities.

​
Employee Access via Biometrics

Empuls employees access the premises through a biometric lock system tied to unique biological identifiers such as fingerprints. This removes the risk vectors inherent in physical credentials: a badge can be forgotten on a desk or handed to a colleague; a biometric cannot. Every access event is automatically logged, creating an auditable trail that supports compliance evidence collection under SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 Annex A physical security controls. When an employee’s role changes or their tenure ends, biometric access is revoked through the access management system — no manual badge collection required, and no risk of credentials lingering beyond their authorized period.

​
Visitor and Contractor Registration

For visitors, contractors, and third-party personnel, Empuls uses a QR code-based entry process. Each visitor is registered upon arrival or in advance, and a unique, time-limited QR code is generated for that visit. The code is scanned at the point of entry, granting access only within the designated window before expiring automatically. This process is particularly relevant for organizations that connect Empuls with HR systems like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox, where vendor and contractor records may already exist. By tying every entry event to a registered record, Empuls ensures that third-party access is never ad hoc and is always traceable to an identifiable individual.

​
How This Supports Compliance Audits

For IT and security teams running periodic access reviews — especially in organizations using Slack or Microsoft Teams to coordinate compliance workflows — Empuls provides access logs that map each entry event to a specific individual and timestamp. This simplifies evidence gathering during audits and reduces the manual effort typically associated with physical access reporting. Visitor records are retained for audit purposes, while QR codes expire as soon as the approved visit window closes. This combination means Empuls maintains a clean, current access state without relying on manual processes to revoke credentials after a visit ends.

​
Ongoing Access Governance

Access rights are reviewed on a regular cycle. Any change in employment status or contractor engagement triggers an immediate update to the access control system, ensuring that the principle of least privilege extends to physical spaces — not just digital ones. This continuous review posture aligns with the access governance requirements expected under both ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certification frameworks.
