Remote & Cloud Management
Valid Access delivers secure, flexible remote managed cloud access control that enables organisations to deploy, manage and maintain access control systems from anywhere. Whether you require a fully on-premise solution, hybrid management or a true cloud deployment, the platform provides the flexibility to choose the model that best suits your operational, security and compliance requirements.
Choose the Management Model That Fits Your Organisation
Every organisation has different operational and compliance requirements. Some require complete on-premise control, while others benefit from cloud-enabled management or fully hosted infrastructure.
Valid Access supports multiple deployment models without requiring organisations to change hardware or compromise on security. As your requirements evolve, your management platform can evolve with them.
Designed for installers, system integrators and end users alike, Valid Access combines browser-based administration, intelligent edge processing and secure remote connectivity to reduce installation costs, simplify ongoing management and improve long-term scalability.
On-Premise Management
Maintain complete control of your infrastructure, data and system administration within your own environment. Ideal for organisations with strict security, compliance or network requirements.
Hybrid Management
Combine local system intelligence with secure cloud-enabled administration. Continue operating locally while benefiting from remote management, browser access and centralised administration.
True Cloud Management
Manage one or thousands of sites through a fully cloud-based platform with automatic updates, secure backups and browser-based administration from virtually anywhere.
Remote Management Connector
The Remote Management Connector (RMC) is designed to make access control systems easier to deploy, manage and support throughout their lifecycle. Installers and system integrators can securely access systems remotely for initial setup, ongoing configuration, diagnostics and support, helping them deliver agreed service levels while reducing the need for unnecessary site visits.
For end users, RMC provides greater flexibility by enabling authorised teams to co-manage their systems without being restricted to a particular location or dedicated computer. This creates a more convenient management experience while maintaining appropriate security, permissions and system control.
RMC also provides a strong foundation for recurring managed services. By enabling installers and service providers to deliver ongoing remote support, maintenance and system management, it creates opportunities to build long-term customer relationships and sustainable Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR).
Hosted RMC Server
The hosted RMC server is designed to securely connect and remotely manage thousands of deployed systems, whether one site or many.
Using secure HTTPS tunnelling technology, RMC establishes an outbound, encrypted connection initiated from inside the customer’s network, ensuring strong security and firewall compliance.

Mobile Management
Modern access control should be available wherever you are.
The Valid Access mobile application allows authorised users to securely manage systems from smartphones and tablets, providing the same permissions and functionality available through the desktop interface.
Administrators can manage users, unlock doors, review system events, monitor activity and respond to incidents without returning to site.
Mobile Features
- Multi-site management
- Remote door control
- User administration
- Live event monitoring
- Video event viewing
- Complete audit trail
- Role-based permissions
Security Built Into Every Connection
Remote connectivity should never compromise security.
Every Valid Access deployment uses secure encrypted communications, authenticated user access and intelligent edge processing to ensure systems remain protected while providing flexible remote
Secure HTTPS-Encrypted Connectivity
Every connection between users, controllers and the management platform is protected using HTTPS and SSL encryption. This ensures data is transmitted securely, safeguarding credentials, system information and administrative activity from unauthorised access.
No Inbound Firewall Rules Required
Remote connectivity is established without opening inbound firewall ports, reducing security risks and simplifying deployment. This approach makes installation easier while maintaining a strong security posture for the network.
Advanced Authentication & Role-Based
Support for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), Single Sign-On (SSO) and role-based permissions ensures only authorised users can access system functions. Administrators can assign granular permissions, giving each user access only to the features and locations relevant to their role.
Audit Logging & Automatic Backups
Every action performed within the platform is recorded in a comprehensive audit trail, providing full visibility of system activity for security, compliance and troubleshooting. Secure automated backups further protect system data, ensuring rapid recovery and long-term resilience.
What makes Valid Access Remote & Cloud Management so good?
Whether managing a single building or thousands of locations, Valid Access provides a secure, scalable management platform that adapts to your organisation rather than forcing you into a single deployment model.
By combining intelligent controllers, browser-based administration, mobile management and flexible cloud options, organisations retain complete control of their infrastructure while benefiting from modern remote management capabilities.
On-Premise, Hybrid and True Cloud Deployment
Valid Access supports multiple deployment models to suit different operational, security and compliance requirements. Whether you require complete on-premise control, the flexibility of hybrid management or the simplicity of a fully cloud-managed solution, the platform allows you to choose the approach that best fits your organisation while using a consistent hardware and software ecosystem.
Secure Remote Management
Manage, configure and monitor your access control system securely from anywhere through encrypted remote connections. Valid Access enables authorised administrators to perform routine management tasks, diagnostics and updates without exposing local infrastructure or relying on insecure remote access methods.
Browser-Based Administration
No dedicated software installation is required. Valid Access provides a modern browser-based management interface that delivers full system functionality from any authorised computer or device. This simplifies deployment, reduces maintenance and ensures administrators always have access to the latest platform features.
Mobile-First Management
The Valid Access mobile application allows authorised users to securely manage doors, users, credentials and system events directly from a smartphone or tablet. With real-time notifications, remote control and comprehensive audit logging, administrators remain connected wherever they are.
Intelligent Edge Architecture
System intelligence resides within the controllers themselves, allowing access decisions and critical operations to continue even if network or cloud connectivity is temporarily unavailable. This edge-based approach improves resilience, reduces latency and ensures uninterrupted operation when it matters most.
Complete Data Ownership
Unlike many cloud-only platforms, Valid Access ensures organisations retain ownership of their system data and infrastructure. Depending on the chosen deployment model, critical information can remain securely stored on-site, supporting data governance, compliance and long-term operational control.
Enterprise Scalability
From a single door to large multi-site estates, Valid Access is designed to scale alongside your organisation. Modular controllers, flexible credential technologies and centralised management tools allow systems to expand without requiring major infrastructure changes or complete hardware replacement.
Future-Ready Platform
Built around open standards, secure networking and flexible deployment options, Valid Access is designed to evolve with changing security requirements. Regular software enhancements, integration capabilities and support for emerging technologies ensure your investment remains relevant for years to come.
