Unmatched cybersecurity from door to data
The high assurance Genetec access control system is built to meet the highest cybersecurity standards. It’s designed to help you comply with strict European cybersecurity regulations.
The system combines Synergis™ access control software, Synergis Cloud Link, smart cards, readers operating in transparent mode, I/O modules, and Secure Access Modules (SAM).
*The STid secure I/O module is only available in Europe through Genetec Accredited Channel Partners.
How does it work?
Each system component uses advanced end-to-end encryption and cybersecurity capabilities to ensure your access control deployment is secure. Protect sensitive information from credentials to readers - all the way to controllers and software, whether on-premises or in the cloud with Security Center SaaS.

MIFARE DESFire smartcards
Get modern and secure access control software
Synergis protects your access control deployment with advanced cryptographic protocols like Transport Layer Security (TLS) and layered defenses. These include encryption, authentication, and authorization.
It’s also truly open access control software, and part of our unified security portfolio. So, you can add third-party solutions and combine access control with video and other security systems. With Synergis, you get a comprehensive view of your security environment.
Protect cryptographic secrets
The Synergis Cloud Link with expansion module is a smart and secure, PoE-enabled IoT gateway. Equipped with three Secure Access Module (SAM) card slots, it ensures secure storage and management of cryptographic data.
The device supports secure bi-directional communication protocols. So, cybercriminals can’t access sensitive information.
Manage access points securely
Get the highest level of cybersecurity and safe door management with our supported I/O modules. Integrated with Synergis Cloud Link through an OSDP secure channel, these modules provide a secure method for controlling and monitoring doors, without exposing any sensitive information.
Reduce the risk of data interception
Keep your access control deployment secure with readers that operate in transparent mode. They don’t store any sensitive information and minimize the risk of data being intercepted and misused.
Use high encryption credential technology
Eliminate the risk of hacking or cloning with MIFARE DESFire smartcard technology. This ensures fast and reliable data integrity for your access control deployment. It’s also compatible with various readers and systems, making it a versatile choice.
Key features
Centralized configuration
Centralize all access control configurations, like access permissions, SAM settings, and MIFARE DESFire cards into a single, intuitive application. Our high assurance access control system simplifies operations and reduces training costs. Your operators won’t have to switch between multiple applications to manage your security.
Secure Access Models (SAM)
Protect sensitive data with the Secure Access Module (SAM). The solution makes sure that decryption happens securely within your building and supports up to three SAM card slots. This means that if multiple cardholders badge in at the same time, it doesn’t slow things down.
*The Secure Access Module is supported on Synergis Cloud Link with expansion module
Unparalleled reader support
Scale and adapt your security system as your organization grows, while maintaining a strong cybersecurity posture. Included in the high assurance access control system, Synergis Cloud Link with expansion module offers 12 ports. This gives you support for up to 48 readers so you can continue building for future needs.
Offline capabilities
Ensure uninterrupted operations, even during server outages and connectivity challenges. The offline capabilities of the Synergis Cloud Link support peer-to-peer communication. This allows your security team to maintain global operations and local management.
