Access Control Consultancy
Plan it properly. Run it confidently. Stay in control.
Access control isn’t just about scanners and passes. It’s about how people, security and infrastructure work together under pressure.
At Access93, we use real-world event experience to design access control systems that actually work on site — not just on paper.
What We Do
We support organisers, production teams and security partners in building access control plans that are clear, scalable and operationally sound.
That includes:
- Reviewing site maps and layouts
- Designing access points, lanes and workflows
- Recommending the right mix of QR, RFID and long-range scanning
- Aligning accreditation with how the event will actually run
We don’t overcomplicate things — we make sure it works in real conditions.
Accreditation & Pass Strategy
Accreditation is where most issues start.
We help you structure it properly from the beginning:
- Pass types, zones and date permissions
- Company allocations and crew structures
- Approval workflows and data collection
- Preventing duplication, misuse and gaps in control
Whether you’re starting from scratch or evolving an existing system, we help you avoid the common pitfalls that cause problems on site.
Moving Beyond Google Sheets
If you’re currently managing accreditation on Google Sheets or Forms, you’re not alone — but it becomes difficult to control as events grow.
We can help you:
- Transition to a structured accreditation platform
- Set up workflows that reduce admin and errors
- Improve visibility for organisers and security teams
- Introduce scanning and real-time control
This is often one of the biggest upgrades an event can make.
Security & Operational Alignment
Access control only works if security teams understand it and trust it.
We support with:
- Security briefings and process alignment
- Entry procedures and escalation handling
- Zone control and lockdown planning
- Integration with existing security operations
Making sure everyone on the ground is working from the same playbook.
Queue Design & Crowd Flow
Poor access design creates queues. Queues create risk.
We help design entry systems that improve flow and reduce pressure:
- Lane planning and throughput modelling
- Fast lanes and staff entry points
- Peak time management strategies
- Clear signage and communication messaging
The goal is simple — keep people moving safely and efficiently.
Testing, Dry Runs & Preparation
The difference between a smooth event and a difficult one is preparation.
We support with:
- Full system dry runs and testing
- Scenario planning and failure points
- Pre-event readiness checks
- Preparation packs for penetration testing
So nothing is left to guesswork when doors open.
