Access is granted by role and policy, revoked automatically, and evidenced in a tamper-evident audit trail.   # **Key2XS and CER Compliance: Smarter Access for Critical Infrastructure** In an era where digital security and regulatory compliance are essential, Key2XS offers an innovative access management solution that meets the highest standards. For organizations subject to the European CER Directive (Critical Entities Resilience), robust and compliant access control is vital.   ## **What is Key2XS?** Key2XS is a platform that integrates physical key systems with digital identity management solutions. By leveraging AI technology, the system predicts which employees require access based on their roles and behavior. This leads to more efficient and secure access management.
