Nøkkelregister

A nøkkelregister, often translated as a key registry or key management system, is a centralized database or system used to track and manage keys, access cards, or other authentication credentials within an organization or facility. Its primary purpose is to maintain a secure and organized record of who has access to what, and when.

These systems typically store information such as the unique identifier of each key or card, the individual or department it is assigned to, the location or asset it grants access to, and the date of issuance or return. This allows for efficient auditing and accountability, making it possible to quickly identify who is in possession of a specific key or to determine which keys have been lost or are missing.

Nøkkelregister systems can range from simple spreadsheets for small organizations to sophisticated digital platforms incorporating barcode scanning, RFID technology, and integration with access control systems. The implementation of a nøkkelregister is a crucial security measure that helps prevent unauthorized access, facilitates the replacement of lost or stolen keys, and ensures compliance with security policies and regulations. They are commonly found in offices, hospitals, government buildings, and any environment where strict control over physical access is required.
