Establish a communication strategy to manage internal and external communication during access control system failures. Specify initial communication steps to inform [Employees], [Security Teams], and [IT Support], highlighting affected areas and expected downtime. Create a protocol for how security personnel will manage manual access overrides and ensure that emergency procedures are in place. Develop guidelines for how to communicate with external contractors or service providers who may be involved in the repair process, including how updates should be shared and the expected repair timeframes. Specify that communication should include instructions for maintaining office security, such as monitoring entry points and verifying access credentials.
