Robust Security for a Globally Safe Work Environment

Providing controlled global access while meeting the highest standards of safety and legal compliance? Allseas, an international leader in large, complex, and technological offshore projects, sought a robust foundation for worldwide access and security across its hybrid locations. Nsecure delivered a unique security solution that aligns seamlessly with Allseas’ future vision and strict requirements for uniformity, safety, and regulatory compliance.

Key Results:

• Top-Level Safety: Implementation of the highest security standards promotes safety awareness and an incident-free environment. Real-time 24/7 visibility of personnel onboard enables swift response during emergencies.
• Increased Efficiency and Cost Savings: Faster, safer processing of registrations, authorizations, and accreditations. System and protocol integrations reduce errors and time spent on system tasks.
• Full Legal Compliance: A robust foundation aligned with Allseas’ future vision and legal frameworks, such as ISPS regulations and labor laws.
• IT-First Approach: A unique cloud-based solution for access control, security management, and identity management. Scalable and user-friendly, it meets Allseas’ hybrid operational needs.

The Start of a Unique Partnership

Jurgen Willemsen, Business Developer for Industry at Nsecure, explains:
“Let’s rewind a few years to when Allseas and Nsecure first connected. For a company like Allseas, standardized and controlled access processes applicable worldwide are crucial. This solid foundation ensures that employees, visitors, and contractors accessing Allseas’ locations receive careful instructions, enabling them to work safely and return home securely. Allseas needed a reliable partner to implement their global access control and security policy across both onshore and offshore locations.”

Global Controlled Access: From Headquarters to Ships

Jurgen adds: “For organizations like Allseas, creating a safe working environment is essential. Our goal is to provide comprehensive solutions tailored to their needs. This begins with a highly interactive pre-implementation phase, during which we gain a deep understanding of the client’s operations and challenges. This approach ensures smooth project execution and immediate resolution of potential issues—especially crucial for large, hybrid locations worldwide.

“Allseas operates across office and production facilities in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland, as well as hybrid offshore locations. Its ships travel globally, docking in major ports for service, maintenance, resupply, or crew changes. With crew members from over 60 countries, standardized and controlled protocols applicable worldwide are vital.”

IT-First Access Control and Security: Enhancing Safety and Reducing Costs

For Allseas, having accurate, real-time knowledge of personnel onboard and their access rights is critical. To achieve this, Nsecure implemented a robust access control solution integrated with a cloud-based identity management platform available globally.

Alain Cras, Vessel Manager at Allseas, shares:
“The solution meets all requirements for the swift and controlled registration of personnel. Additionally, it integrates with our ERP system for time tracking. The solution has proven its value and is now deployed across all (hybrid) locations. Registrations, authorizations, and accreditations are now faster, safer, and fully compliant with legal and regulatory frameworks. Furthermore, we’ve achieved significant cost savings by having 24/7 insights into the duration of subcontractor tasks.”

Rooted in Rotterdam Expertise

Jurgen elaborates: “Our longstanding collaboration with Allseas is built on meticulously managed security projects. Both organizations share roots in the Rotterdam port area, allowing us to ‘speak the same language,’ literally and figuratively. Our expertise helps us deeply understand Allseas’ challenges and prioritize their needs. We identify risks they face and prevent disruptions to critical business processes.”

Interested in Identity Management?

For companies like Allseas, safety is a top priority. This is achievable with an identity management solution like YIM for contractor management. The access process must answer critical security questions efficiently:

• Who is seeking access?
• Is the individual’s identity verified?
• Do they have the required permissions?

By storing certificates and documents in a personal digital dossier, visitors quickly receive a green (or red) light for entry. This saves time, streamlines access processes, and prevents fines for non-compliance with regulations like ISPS.
