Explanation
A badge reader is the least-cost physical access control solution among the options. Security guards require ongoing labor costs (salaries, benefits, scheduling), making them expensive to maintain. A mantrap involves significant physical construction and infrastructure costs. An entry control roster is manual and passive-it logs access but does not actively prevent unauthorized entry. A badge reader uses proximity cards or smart cards tied to user credentials and can be deployed at low cost with centralized access management, allowing the company to grant, revoke, and audit access electronically without recurring high costs.
