One Total Solution for physical security & access control. Built for critical infrastructure.

From physical security and access control to OT network security and key management systems and lockers, ALCEA's Total Solution covers the full spectrum of critical infrastructure protection, engineered for one facility or hundreds of remote sites across transportation, energy, water, oil & gas, telecom, and mining networks, whether you need a single capability or end-to-end coverage.

ALCEA Total Solution: modular and integrated physical security platform for critical infrastructure

Building unbreakable security, layer by layer.

You don't have to start at Layer 1. All layers are fully independant - start wherever your needs are. Most critical infrastructure operators already have some layers in place. ALCEA's Total Solution is designed to integrate with your existing physical security infrastructure, and build from there.

Key management systems & secure storage for critical infrastructure.

In critical infrastructure environments, physical security extends beyond doors and perimeters - controlling access to physical keys and shared assets is equally critical. ALCEA offers intelligent key management system solutions that deliver full visibility and control over every key and asset, supporting NERC CIP compliance and eliminating unauthorized access risks across your facilities.

Physical security & access control for every U.S. critical infrastructure sector.

Energy

Energy security and utility security demand more than perimeter fencing. Electric utilities managing large networks of substations, generation sites, and field assets face growing physical threats, alongside strict NERC CIP requirements that govern access to critical cyber assets.

ALCEA secures substation security and distributed energy infrastructure with electronic access control systems, audit-ready traceability, and real-time monitoring, keeping your operations compliant and continuously protected.

Compliance-ready from day one: NERC CIP, CISA, TSA & beyond.

Critical infrastructure operators don't choose between security and compliance. ALCEA's solutions are aligned with the major U.S. and international regulatory frameworks, NERC CIP requirements, CISA security guidelines, TSA security directives, NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-82, and IEC 62443 - including NERC CIP and TSA key control mandates requiring full traceability and instant key deactivation, met directly by CLIQ and smart locking solutions part of the ALCEA portfolio. As software supply chain transparency becomes a regulatory expectation, ALCEA also supports SBOM requirements across its software portfolio.
