Managing access for employees, visitors, and contractors can be deceptively complex. Varying roles require different clearance levels. ID cards get misplaced or duplicated. Manual approval chains slow things down, and human error slips through.
“All too often, badge issuance becomes fragmented: spreadsheets here, email requests there, physical forms waiting for signatures. It’s inefficient, hard to track, and increasingly risky,” says Maxime Sibille, product owner for Workforce Identity at Nexus. “This is especially true now as physical access comes under tighter scrutiny from cybersecurity and compliance teams alike.”
Compliance with NIS2, CER, and ISO 27001 now demands detailed oversight of who can access what, when, and how. That’s hard to deliver when relying on manual processes, especially across multiple sites or with a hybrid workforce.
Poor visibility into badge issuance and usage creates security gaps, frustrates end users, and overburdens administrators. Organizations need a better way to issue secure IDs, track access, and respond quickly to changes in staff or policy.
Nexus GO Cards transforms badge management into a secure, streamlined, and transparent process. It's a flexible cloud service that handles ordering, production, delivery, and activation on a platform that adapts to your workflows.
“Whether using our user-friendly online portal or integrating with systems like Microsoft Entra ID, organizations gain a smarter, safer way to manage physical identities,” Maxime explains. “Recipient information can be fetched from existing systems, manually uploaded, or added by users directly via a secure self-service link.”
Once the necessary approvals are in place, badges can be produced in-house or at Nexus' secure personalization centers. Cards can be shipped with an activation link that renders them unusable until registered, adding another layer of protection for your facilities.
The GO Cards portal is designed to eliminate complexity from every stage of the badge management process. Its value comes from four foundational capabilities that together support operational efficiency, security, and compliance.
“An ID badge is integral to your organization’s security posture and brand identity. That’s why Nexus offers a wide range of visual and physical security features to prevent tampering and forgery, including microtext, ghost images, UV print, and custom laminate options,” Maxime explains.
At the same time, design matters. A well-designed card that reflects your brand can help increase daily wear, visibility, security, and compliance. The GO Cards design team works with you to create a layout that looks professional and reinforces organizational identity.
“As workforces grow more mobile, so should access control,” states Maxime, speaking of GO Cards’ support for Mobile Visual IDs. He adds that Mobile Visual ID is contactless, easily scalable, and instantly revocable, making it ideal for dynamic workplace environments.
GO Cards strengthens your security architecture while reducing admin burden and improving the user experience. Organizations gain:
“Beyond the usual benefits, GO Cards' interoperability with Nexus and IN solutions for identity management, digital access federation, and more, ensures long-term flexibility and adaptability as your organization evolves,” Maxime explains.
Whether managing identity for one location or across multiple sites, Nexus GO Cards gives you the control, visibility, and assurance needed to meet regulatory demands and deliver a streamlined experience across your organization.
