Unlocking Efficiency and Compliance: The Benefits of Key2XS in a Multinational Environment

In today’s interconnected world, multinational organisations face a growing challenge: how to manage both digital and physical access securely and efficiently across borders, subsidiaries, and diverse infrastructures. While Identity and Access Management (IAM) platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID, SailPoint, Okta, One Identity, and NetIQ provide powerful governance of digital identities, physical key systems often remain siloed, fragmented across business units and regions.

Enter Key2XS

Our platform bridges digital and physical worlds by connecting multiple IAM platforms with multiple electronic key systems (e.g., ASSA ABLOY CLIQ, iLOQ), all within a single governance framework. The benefits for multinational organisations are clear:

1. Unified Access Governance Across Borders

Large enterprises often operate with multiple IAM solutions, sometimes due to acquisitions, regional preferences, or regulatory requirements. At the same time, different facilities may run on different key systems. Key2XS provides a unifying layer, allowing organisations to manage digital and physical access rights consistently, no matter the IAM or key technology in place.

Benefit: global oversight with local autonomy, reducing complexity without forcing “one-size-fits-all” technology choices.

2. Improved Compliance with EU & Global Regulations

Regulations such as the CER Directive and NIS2 require critical entities to demonstrate robust access control, auditability, and rapid incident response. Key2XS enables full alignment:

• Automatic logging of key events and permissions

• Centralised reporting across all IAM and key systems

• Rapid revocation of access, both digital and physical, in case of insider risk or contractor termination

Benefit: audit readiness and simplified compliance reporting across multiple jurisdictions.

3. Seamless Contractor & Vendor Management

Multinationals rely heavily on contractors and service providers. With Key2XS, Just-In-Time (JIT) access can be provisioned to both digital apps and physical keys, tied directly to roles and project timelines in the IAM system. When contracts end, access is automatically revoked everywhere.

Benefit: reduced risk of orphaned keys and standing permissions.

4. Cost Efficiency and Operational Simplification

Managing multiple IAM and key systems separately means duplicated processes, inconsistent policies, and higher administrative overhead. Key2XS eliminates the silos by:

• Automating keyplan creation based on IAM roles

• Reducing manual provisioning time

• Enabling cross-system policy enforcement

Benefit: lower operational costs and faster onboarding/offboarding across all regions.

5. AI-Driven Recommendations for Global Scale

Our AI engine analyses usage patterns, roles, and infrastructure data to recommend optimal keyplans and permission sets. For global organisations with tens of thousands of locks, doors, and contractors, this is a game-changer.

Benefit: predictable scalability, smarter allocation of access rights, and continuous optimisation across countries and business units.

6. Future-Proof Integration Layer

As organisations evolve, merging, acquiring, or upgrading infrastructure, Key2XS remains the integration constant. Instead of replacing IAM or key systems, companies simply connect new technologies into the Key2XS bridge.

Benefit: long-term flexibility, protecting existing investments while enabling future growth.

Conclusion

For multinational organisations with multiple IAM and key systems, Key2XS is more than just an integration layer, it is a governance accelerator. By unifying access management, enhancing compliance, and introducing AI-powered automation, Key2XS enables enterprises to focus on resilience, efficiency, and trust.
