Why Wallet-Based Credentials Should Be Part of Every Cybersecurity Strategy

Moving Beyond Plastic Cards

When organisations think of cybersecurity, they often focus on firewalls, phishing risks, and endpoint protection. But one of the most overlooked vulnerabilities is physical access control.

Plastic cards and fobs remain common, yet they are:

• Easily cloned or shared – creating silent backdoors into your workplace.
  
• Frequently lost – forcing reactive deactivation and leaving access gaps.
  
• Disconnected from IT systems – falling outside the scope of cybersecurity policy.

If physical access isn’t treated with the same rigour as digital identity, it leaves your organisation exposed.

The ResiKEY Difference

ResiKEY replaces outdated plastic cards with secure, wallet-based access credentials that integrate directly with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.
With ResiKEY, credentials are:

• Protected by biometrics – Face ID, Touch ID, or device PINs verify the rightful user.
  
• Encrypted and unclonable – credentials sit in the device’s secure element.
  
• Revocable in real time – lost or stolen devices can be disabled instantly.
  
• Always with the user – phones and watches are far less likely to be misplaced than cards or fobs.
  

This is modern security designed for the workplace of today.

Seamless Cybersecurity Alignment

ResiKEY integrates with Single Sign-On (SSO) platforms like Azure AD, Okta, and Google Workspace. This ensures that:

• New staff receive wallet credentials during IT onboarding.
  
• Departing staff lose both digital and physical access instantly.
  

By aligning physical access with cybersecurity policy, ResiKEY supports a Zero Trust model and provides full auditability across digital and physical environments.

Compliance and Risk Reduction

ResiKEY makes compliance easier by embedding access control into your cybersecurity program. Benefits include:

• Unified access logs for digital + physical spaces.
  
• Automatic deprovisioning to reduce insider risk.
  
• No costs for printing and replacing physical cards.
  

This is more than convenience—it’s a measurable security uplift.

Final Word

Outdated access cards weaken your security posture. ResiKEY delivers the next generation of secure, wallet-based credentials—integrated, auditable, and trusted by leading organisations. It’s time to bring physical access into your cybersecurity strategy.
