  • To assign key access based on role and necessity.

  • To track key issuance and returns for accountability.

  • To ensure compliance with GlobalTech’s security policies and global data protection regulations.

4. Key Access Levels

  • High: Access granted to personnel with specific, critical responsibilities such as IT staff, management, and specialized teams. Requires strong authorization and periodic audits. (e.g., Server Room, Executive Suite)

  • Medium: Access granted to operational staff based on role-related duties, such as warehouse managers and admin staff. Regular tracking and limited access periods. (e.g., Storage Room, Office Area)

  • Low: General access is provided to all authorized personnel for daily operations and non-sensitive areas. Minimal tracking is needed. (e.g., Office Areas, Break Rooms)

5. Key Issuance Process

  1. Request Submission:
    Personnel must submit a formal request for key access to the Facilities Security Manager via the Access Request Form (Form #AG-70).

  2. Approval Process:
    The request is reviewed by the relevant department head and Security Manager to ensure access needs are appropriate for the role. Approved requests are forwarded to Security for processing.

  3. Key Distribution:
    Upon approval, keys or access cards will be distributed by the Facilities Security Team within 5 business days.

  4. Keyholder Acknowledgment:
    The keyholder must sign the Key Issuance and Responsibility Form (Form #KI-70), acknowledging the keyholder's responsibility for secure handling and return of the key.

  5. Training:
    Keyholders are provided with briefings on access security, emergency procedures, and how to report any issues with keys or access cards. Mandatory training is scheduled monthly.

6. Key Return Process

  1. Notification of Key Return:
    Upon termination, resignation, or transfer of role, the employee must return any issued keys or access cards within 3 business days to the Security or Facilities Manager.

  2. Return Confirmation:
    The returned keys or cards will be logged into the Key Access Management System (System #KAM-70), with confirmation of condition and functionality.

  3. Deactivation (if applicable):
    For electronic keycards, access rights will be deactivated immediately upon return. Physical keys are marked as "returned" and securely stored in the Key Vault.

7. Key Access Tracking

  • Tracking System:
    Key issuance, return, and access are tracked through the Key Access Management System (KAM-70), which generates automatic reports on a bi-weekly basis for auditing and compliance reviews.

  • Audit:
    A quarterly audit is conducted to review key issuance and returns, ensuring compliance with security protocols and to detect any unauthorized access attempts. A yearly comprehensive audit is conducted in January to assess overall system integrity.

  • Lost/Stolen Keys:
    In the event of a lost or stolen key, it must be reported immediately. A replacement request will be processed, and access to the affected area will be temporarily suspended until replacement keys or cards are issued.

8. Emergency Access Protocol

  • Emergency Contact:
    In emergencies, the Security or Facilities Manager is the point of contact for urgent access requests. Access will be granted upon verification of identity and authorization.

  • Access Revocation:
    Keys may be revoked in the event of security breaches, or if misuse of access is detected. The revoked keys will be immediately deactivated, and the user will be informed of the action.

  • Emergency Access Logging:
    All emergency access will be logged in the Key Access Management System (KAM-70) for tracking and auditing purposes.

9. Key Access Policy Review

This Key Access Plan and its effectiveness will be reviewed annually, starting from January 1, 2071, and updated as necessary based on changes in organizational structure, security threats, or industry best practices.
