Data Centres & Critical Infrastructure
Zero Gaps. Total Oversight.
Data centres and critical infrastructure facilities require the highest level of access control. Every entry — whether staff, contractor, or visitor — must be verified, logged, and tied back to strict compliance frameworks.
Paper logbooks or fragmented access systems can’t meet regulator expectations or client trust requirements. Kenai unifies visitor invites, kiosk sign-ins, Gallagher access integration, and real-time reporting into a single platform — ensuring no one enters without being accounted for.
Why Data Centres & Critical Infrastructure Need Kenai
- Strict security standards — from SOC 2 and ISO to local CIP regulations.
- High-risk environments — sensitive equipment and data must be protected.
- Multiple access types — employees, contractors, auditors, and vendors.
- Audit-heavy operations — regulators and clients demand full transparency.
- Zero tolerance for error — unauthorized or unlogged entries are unacceptable.
Kenai delivers bank-grade oversight to protect your most sensitive facilities.

Example Use Case
A critical data centre implemented Kenai to unify external visitor management and internal access tracking.
Visitors now pre-register online, sign in via kiosks, and trigger host notifications automatically. Gallagher integration logs staff and contractor card events directly into Kenai’s dashboard, creating one consolidated log.
During an external compliance audit, the facility exported six months of combined visitor and employee records instantly — proving full oversight and eliminating manual reconciliations.
