Silent duress
A code reception can enter under coercion locks the site down and alerts security — while the screen carries on as if nothing happened.
Security & compliance
Screen at the door. Account for everyone. Keep the data yours.
BeckonDesk treats the gate as a control point, not a guestbook. Names are checked before entry, people are accounted for during an evacuation, and every tenant’s records stay walled off from every other’s.
Denied-party screening
Banned, sanctioned, or barred — caught before the badge prints.
Every sign-in is matched against your own watchlist and the public OFAC, UN, and EU consolidated sanctions lists — 53,067 records, refreshed and fuzzy-matched so a near-spelling still trips. A hit holds the visitor and alerts your team.
- Three public lists, no add-on. OFAC SDN, UN Security Council, and the EU consolidated list, kept current.
- Your own watchlist. Ban or flag a person once; every gate enforces it on arrival.
- Fuzzy matching catches transliterations and misspellings, with a confidence score on each hit.

Evacuation & mustering
A roll call that knows where people were.
Start an evacuation and everyone on site lands on one live board, each with the last zone their badge was seen in. Staff mark people safe from any phone; the count syncs instantly and exports as an incident report.
- Last-known zone from your access events — search the right place first.
- Collaborative roll call across devices, with a timer and a shareable report.
Active security
For when the threat is already inside
Site lockdown
Broadcast a lockdown to your door controller in one action — and release it just as quickly when the all-clear comes.
Anomaly watch
Overstays, visitors who never checked out, odd-hours arrivals, and repeated denied attempts surface to security on their own.
Data & tenancy
Your visitors’ data stays yours.
BeckonDesk is multi-tenant by design. Each organization’s records are isolated at the database, so one customer can never read another’s — even when the same visitor is invited by both. And with no facial recognition, there’s no biometric data to leak in the first place.
Ask about our data modelIsolation by default
A tenant filter is enforced on every query — cross-tenant reads are impossible, not just discouraged.
No biometric data
BeckonDesk doesn’t use facial recognition or store biometric identifiers — nothing to breach, and you stay clear of US state biometric-privacy laws.
Retention controls
Set how long visit records live; old data is purged on your schedule, not ours.
Encrypted secrets & audit
Integration secrets are encrypted at rest; the audit log is append-only.
Identity
Sign-in your IT team will actually approve
SSO
SAML or OpenID Connect against your own identity provider, per tenant.
Directory sync & SCIM
Provision and deprovision staff automatically from Entra and other IdPs.
Invitation-only access
Joining a tenant is by invite only — no self-service back door into another company’s site.

We’ll screen a real sanctioned name and walk a full muster on a call.
