Government Visitor Management

Government buildings and defense contractor facilities cannot afford ambiguity about who is inside. Whether you run a federal office, a military installation, or a contractor site handling controlled unclassified information (CUI), your visitor management system needs to satisfy specific compliance frameworks while giving your security team real operational control. Paper logs and basic digital sign in sheets fall short of what CMMC 2.0 and NIST 800-171 require.

VisitorLog's high security mode was designed for exactly these environments. When activated, every visitor must be authorized by a designated host before entry is granted. The host receives an email or SMS with the visitor's details and responds with an approval or denial. Until the host approves, the visitor cannot complete check in. This is not optional when high security mode is on. The authorization step is mandatory and enforced by the system. For SMS based approval, the host replies APPROVE or DENY to a text message, and the conversation expires after one hour to prevent stale authorizations from being reused.

ID verification captures 7+ document types including passport, driver license, state ID, military ID, CAC (Common Access Card), PIV, and TWIC. Your security officer selects which document types are acceptable for your facility, and the check in form prompts visitors to present the appropriate identification. Citizenship and country of origin fields, available in high security mode, let you record the information required by facilities handling CUI or operating under ITAR restrictions.

Escort tracking gives your security team visibility into who is accompanying visitors inside the building. When a visitor requires an escort, one is assigned during check in and tracked throughout the visit. The dedicated escort role lets you give security personnel or cleared staff access to their escort duties without granting them administrative access to the full system. The immutable audit trail records every action, every timestamp, every approval and denial, creating the documentation your compliance officers need during CMMC assessments, NIST audits, or inspector general reviews. VisitorLog maps to physical security controls across CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP, and ISO 27001, so your compliance team can trace each requirement to a specific platform capability.
