Modernizing Access Control and Employee Management at Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority (IDRA) Bangladesh

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:

• ZKTeco FBL6200 Pro Flap Barrier – 2 pcs (Dual Lane Builder)  
• ZKTeco FBL6000 Pro Flap Barrier – 3 pairs (Single Lane configuration)  
• ZKTeco SpeedFace-V5L Hybrid Biometric Terminal – 10 pcs  

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Manual checking and outdated systems were no longer sufficient for the volume of daily traffic or the security standards expected from a government regulatory body.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.
