Case Study: Modernizing Access Control and Employee Management at Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority (IDRA) Bangladesh
Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority of Bangladesh (IDRA)* – বীমা উন্নয়ন ও নিয়ন্ত্রণ কর্তৃপক্ষ – is the apex government body responsible for regulating and developing the insurance sector across the country. Headquartered on the 8th floor of *Sadharan Bima Corporation Tower, 37/A Dilkusha Commercial Area, Motijheel, Dhaka-1000*, IDRA manages high daily footfall from employees, insurance professionals, visitors, and stakeholders.
To strengthen physical security, enforce contactless entry, and streamline time & attendance tracking, IDRA partnered with Digimark Solution – an authorized ZKTeco partner in Bangladesh. In 2026, Digimark successfully completed the installation of a comprehensive access control system using:
This integrated solution now secures the main entrance and internal access points while automating attendance for hundreds of staff.
The Challenge
As a regulatory authority handling sensitive financial and insurance data, IDRA required:
- Strict control over who enters the premises
- Prevention of tailgating and unauthorized access
- Contactless verification to maintain hygiene standards
- Accurate, automated time & attendance recording
- Seamless integration with existing security infrastructure
- High durability and low maintenance for continuous 24/7 operation
Manual checking and outdated systems were no longer sufficient for the volume of daily traffic or the security standards expected from a government regulatory body.
The Solution
Digimark Solution designed a complete entrance and attendance ecosystem centered on ZKTeco’s Pro Series flap barriers and the advanced SpeedFace-V5L hybrid terminal.
ZKTeco FBL6200 Pro & FBL6000 Pro Flap Barriers
- Dual-lane (FBL6200 Pro)* and single-lane (FBL6000 Pro) retractable flap barriers
- Up to *30 persons per minute* throughput
- SUS304 stainless steel construction with anti-pinch infrared sensors
- Modular reader integration – supports RFID, fingerprint, QR code, palm, and visible-light facial recognition
- Touchless palm and facial verification options
- Emergency retract mode and LED directional indicators
- Anti-tailgating, reverse-entry alarm, and robust DC brushless motor (millions of operation cycles)
ZKTeco SpeedFace-V5L Hybrid Biometric Terminal
- 5-inch touch screen with visible-light facial recognition
- Multi-verification: Face + Fingerprint + Card (EM/IC) + Password
- 6,000 face templates*, 6,000 fingerprints, 10,000 cards
- Anti-spoofing against photos, videos, and 3D masks
- Recognition speed ≤1 second
- Built-in attendance functions (overtime, lateness calculation, holiday/DST support)
- TCP/IP, Wi-Fi (optional), Wiegand, RS485 communication
- Direct integration with electric locks, door sensors, and ZKBioAccess software
The combination allows employees to enter using any preferremethod,od while the barriers open only after successful verification, creating a fully automated, secure, and hygienic access flow.
Implementation
Digimark Solution completed the project in record time with minimal disruption:
- Site Survey & Design*: Detailed assessment of the lobby and internal corridors at Sadharan Bima Corporation Tower
- Installation*: 2 dual-lane FBL6200 Pro units and 3 single-lane FBL6000 Pro configurations at the main entrance, plus 10 SpeedFace-V5L terminals mounted at strategic points
- Integration*: All barriers linked directly to the biometric terminals and central ZKTeco software.
- Testing & Training*: Full load testing, calibration, and hands-on training for IDRA’s security and HR teams
- Timeline*: Project completed within 5 days with zero downtime to office operations
The sleek stainless-steel design blends perfectly with the modern government building interior.
Results and Benefits
Since commissioning, IDRA has experienced measurable improvements:
- 99.9%* accurate access control with zero tailgating incidents
- Contactless entry* reduced physical contact and improved hygiene.
- Automated attendance* eliminated manual registers and reduced administrative workload.
- Faster throughput* – employees now enter in seconds instead of minutes
- Real-time reporting* – HR receives instant data on attendance, overtime, and access logs.
- Enhanced security* – anti-spoofing and multi-sensor technology ensure only authorized personnel pass
- Low maintenance* – robust ZKTeco hardware operates reliably in Bangladesh’s climate
Security and HR teams have praised the intuitive interface and the system’s ability to handle peak-hour crowds smoothly.
Conclusion
The successful deployment of ZKTeco FBL620Pro ando, FBL6000 Pro flabarriers andnd SpeedFace-V5L terminals at the *Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority (IDRA)* demonstrates Digimark Solution’s expertise in delivering high-security, intelligent access control systems for government institutions.
This project sets a benchmark for modern, contactless, and efficient workplace security in Bangladesh’s regulatory sector. IDRA now benefits from a future-ready system that protects its premises, ensures regulatory compliance, and simplifies daily operations.
