Preventing Piggybacking & Tailgating with SAIMA’s Entry Control Systems

In facilities where security is non-negotiable (like government offices, research institutions, and data centers), unauthorized access poses real and immediate risks. A single lapse can compromise sensitive data, disrupt operations, or endanger personnel. That’s why SAIMA America’s entry control systems are trusted by security teams nationwide to proactively detect and stop breaches like piggybacking and tailgating before they happen.

Understanding Piggybacking and Tailgating

Two of the most common breaches are piggybacking, when an unauthorized person slips in behind an authorized one, and tailgating, where someone follows closely to bypass credential checks.

These breaches exploit moments of human error and physical gaps in security systems. Whether unintentional oversight or a calculated intrusion, piggybacking and tailgating can lead to serious consequences, including data theft, sabotage, or safety threats.

Traditional access methods like keycards or biometric scanners often aren’t enough. That’s where SAIMA’s technology comes in. It provides physical, automated barriers that distinguish between authorized and unauthorized entry attempts.

SAIMA America’s Entry Control Solutions

We offer a full suite of intelligent solutions tailored to stop these threats before they happen.

SecuRev Security Revolving Door

Designed for single-person entry, SecuRev immediately identifies when more than one person is present and reverses direction to deny access. It is configurable for entry, exit, or both and integrates with emergency systems and access control platforms.

SecurTeL and SecurTeL2 Portals

Our interlocking door systems use advanced sensors and anti-tailgating logic to detect suspicious behavior. These are ideal for research centers, clean rooms, and any facility where precise pedestrian control is mission-critical.
