The Benefits of Being on The Cloud

Brivo Security Suite is the cloud-based control and unified oversight layer for every door lock and reader in your system. With cloud-based access control, you configure and monitor doors across locations, enforce policies, and respond to incidents without touching on-site servers or lock hardware.
Cloud architecture

Manage locations from anywhere with no servers to maintain, so your team spends less time on patches and more time on door security.

Encryption

Use TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest to keep credentials, video links, and door logs protected from interception and misuse.

Security program

Rely on a platform that is independently audited to SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001, so it supports your own security and compliance requirements

Role-based administration

Limit each admin to the locations, doors, and actions they need, which reduces insider risk and configuration errors.

Single sign-on (SSO)

Connect to Azure AD, Okta, and other IdPs so users sign in with their existing identities, and enforce MFA and lifecycle policies from a single place.

Central control and credential administration

Revoke access, pull real-time logs, and bulk suspend or reinstate users to keep the right people in the right spaces.

How Remote Unlock Works — Simple Steps

When someone needs help opening a locked door, an authorized administrator can unlock it remotely via Brivo Security Suite. They don’t have to be in the same city as the reader.
Step 1
Log in to Brivo Security Suite on your mobile device using your credentials or single sign-on to access your sites.

Step 2
Select your site location from the list, then choose the specific door you want to open, unlock, or monitor remotely.
Image description
Step 3
Review the current door status, then tap Unlock Door to send a one-time remote unlock command directly from your device.
Image description
Step 4
The control panel receives the signal, unlocks the door for the configured pass-through period, and relocks on schedule.
Image description
Step 5
The unlock event is time-stamped and stored in your activity log, and when video is integrated, you can review the corresponding footage alongside the event.

Step 6
Administrators can review these events later, adjust roles and schedules, and reduce ad hoc "can you let me in" calls.

Common Questions for Commercial Door Locks

Can I upgrade existing commercial doors to smart/keyless locks without replacing all the hardware?

In many cases, yes. Brivo Security Suite works with compatible wireless and credentialed locks from brands like Assa Abloy Aperio, Schlage, and others, so you can upgrade to cloud-managed, keyless access while reusing existing doors and often existing lock prep.

Brivo Unified Credential lets you issue a single secure credential that works across supported locks and readers, helping you modernize access without a full hardware rip-and-replace. A Brivo dealer can confirm exactly which locks and components at your site can be reused.

What’s the difference between a standalone “smart lock” and a commercial door lock connected to Brivo Security Suite?

A standalone smart lock typically manages users, PINs, and app access on the lock itself, which works for a single door or small setup but offers limited central management and reporting. A commercial door lock that integrates with Brivo Security Suite is part of a cloud access control system: credentials, schedules, and roles live in the cloud, and door events and status roll up into one dashboard with reporting and, when enabled, video. That gives you centralized control across multiple doors and locations, along with consistent audit trails and policies.

How do Brivo commercial door locks support compliance needs like audit trails and access reports by door?

The Brivo Security Suite captures events with details such as time, door, and user, and displays live activity and door status in its dashboards. These events feed into reports that you can filter by device, site, group, or user, and then schedule or export for audits and internal reviews.

Reports are explicitly designed for auditing and compliance use cases, helping you demonstrate who had access to which doors and when. When video is integrated, you can also pair door events with corresponding footage for stronger incident documentation.
