Key cards are designed to authenticate the identity of individuals entering a facility by requiring them to present a card with embedded information matched against a database of authorized users (see ISC2 Study Guide, Module 2, under Monitoring). Security guards and visitor sign-in sheets can help monitor and track access but do not authenticate identity. Video surveillance monitors and records activity within a facility but does not establish identity. Mechanical locks and keys are traditional physical access control methods that require a physical key to unlock a door.
