Key2XS brings those keys under identity governance, aligned with NEN 7510, CER and [NIS2](https://key2xs.com/nis2-directive?hsLang=nl) — with proof ready for every inspection. ## **Securing Healthcare Access: How Key2XS Strengthens Compliance and Operational Resilience** Healthcare organizations are under increasing pressure to secure their facilities, protect sensitive data, and ensure continuity of care, all while complying with stringent European regulations such as the **CER (Critical Entities Resilience)** and **NIS2 Directives**. Yet, in many hospitals, clinics, and laboratories, one of the biggest vulnerabilities remains surprisingly simple: **physical keys**. While most healthcare institutions have invested heavily in cybersecurity and digital identity management, the physical access domain often lags behind. Mechanical keys, fragmented key plans, and manual administration create blind spots that attackers ,or simply human error, can exploit. That’s where **Key2XS** comes in. ![8C003680-8313-4AD7-ABFA-BFAF7B3DB638](https://key2xs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/8C003680-8313-4AD7-ABFA-BFAF7B3DB638.png?width=104&height=104&name=8C003680-8313-4AD7-ABFA-BFAF7B3DB638.png) ### **From Digital Identity to Physical Access Control** Key2XS bridges the gap between **Identity and Access Management (IAM)** systems and **physical key infrastructures** such as **[ASSA ABL](http://www.assaabloy.com)OY [CLIQ](https://key2xs.com/integrations/assa-abloy-cliq?hsLang=nl)**, **[iL](http://www.iloq.com)OQ**, and similar electronic key systems. Through seamless integrations with leading IAM platforms — including **[Microsoft](http://www.microsoft.com)[Entra ID](https://key2xs.com/integrations/entra-id-iloq?hsLang=nl)**, **[Sail](http://www.sailpoint.com)Point**,[One Identity](http://www.oneidentity.com), [OpenText](http://www.opentext.com) and **[Okta](http://www.okta.com),** Key2XS ensures that the same governance and automation that protect your digital assets also apply to your **doors, cabinets, and medical storage facilities**. When a staff member joins, changes department, or leaves, Key2XS automatically adjusts or revokes their physical key access based on their digital identity and role. This eliminates manual processes, reduces the risk of orphaned keys, and strengthens both security and compliance.   ### **Why It Matters in Healthcare** Hospitals and healthcare providers manage some of the most complex access environments in the world: - Multiple campuses and secure zones - 24/7 operations with rotating staff and external contractors - Controlled substances, laboratories, and data centers - Strict audit and compliance requirements under **CER**, **NIS2**, and **GDPR** In this environment, traditional key management is not only inefficient, it’s a **compliance risk**.   With Key2XS, healthcare organizations can: - Automate the issuance and deactivation of physical keys - Link every key event to a verified digital identity - Maintain full audit trails for regulatory reporting - Enable just-in-time access for contractors and temporary staff - Combine physical and logical access policies in one unified platform The result: **greater security, faster operations, and verifiable compliance.**   ### **Supporting Critical Entities Resilience (CER)** Under the **[CER Directive](https://key2xs.com/cer-directive?hsLang=nl)**, healthcare institutions are classified as *critical entities,*  meaning they must demonstrate resilience against both cyber and physical threats. Key2XS helps hospitals and care networks meet these obligations by ensuring **traceable, auditable, and policy-driven control over every key, lock, and access point**. By integrating with your existing IAM system, Key2XS transforms physical access from a manual, isolated process into a **governed, automated, and reportable component** of your overall resilience strategy.   ### **AI-Powered Key Planning and Compliance Reporting** Beyond automation, Key2XS leverages **AI-driven insights** to help administrators design optimal keyplans, detect anomalies, and identify over-privileged access, before they become security issues. The platform also generates compliance-ready reports that align with CER and NIS2 audit requirements, helping security officers demonstrate accountability and reduce administrative overhead.   ### **Healthcare Resilience Starts at the Door** Digital identity management has come a long way in securing networks and data. But resilience in healthcare means extending that same rigor to the physical world to every lab door, medication cabinet, and data room that keeps critical care running. With Key2XS, you bring physical access into the same governance fabric as your IAM system, ensuring that **every identity, every key, and every door** is managed, monitored, and compliant.   ### **Learn More** Discover how Key2XS helps healthcare organizations align physical access with CER and NIS2 compliance at [**www.key2xs.com**](https://www.key2xs.com/?hsLang=nl) Or contact our team for a demo and see how identity-driven key management can transform resilience across your healthcare facilities. ![](https://key2xs.com/hubfs/1587550138006.jpeg)![](https://key2xs.com/hubfs/img/niels-bakker.png)![](https://key2xs.com/hubfs/1746630921693.jpeg)![](https://key2xs.com/hubfs/1696359051569.jpeg) **Written by the Key2XS team** Key2XS is founder-run.
