“…Prevention of unlawful entry, property damage and data interference is the goal of PAC deployment (Masoumzadeh et al, 2022;Holstein et al, 2022;Sodiya et al, 2010). Physical security, in architecture, deals with controlling entry into a building and protecting assets or properties from theft.…”

“…PAC can efficiently monitor resource access and prevent the transmission of unauthorized entry. In addition, physical access systems have evolved from traditional padlocks and keys to barriers such as speed gates and turnstiles, as well as advanced electronic and logic-based access control technologies such as smart cards and biometrics (Masoumzadeh et al, 2022). According to Rouhani et al (2018), access control comprises essential components: user credentials, a reader/scanner and access control software.…”

Purpose This study explores the importance of and vulnerabilities in deploying physical access control (PAC) devices in a typical university setting.Design/methodology/approach The study adopts face-to-face and telephone interviews. This study uses a semi-structured interview guide to solicit the views of 25 interviewees on the subject under consideration. Qualitative responses to the interview are thematically analyzed using NVivo 11 Pro analysis application software.Findings The findings reveal five importance and seven vulnerabilities in the deployment of PAC devices in the institution. Key among the importance of deploying the devices are “prevent unwanted premise access or intrusions,” “prevent disruptions to university/staff operations on campus” and “protect students and staff from outside intruders.” Key among the identified vulnerabilities are “tailgating”, “delay in emergent cases” and “power outage may affect its usage.”Originality/value This study offers insight into a rare area of study, especially in the Sub-Saharan Africa region. Furthermore, the study contributes to the state-of-the-art importance and vulnerabilities in deploying PAC devices in daily human activities. The study is valuable in that it has the potential to establish a foundation for future studies that may delve into investigating issues associated with the deployment of PAC devices.
