CEN/TS 17814 Master Key System Data Security – Guidance

Neil-CEN/TS 17814

TS17814

CEN/TS 17814, the latest Technical Specification released by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), delves into the intricate world of Master Key Systems, offering comprehensive guidance on data security throughout the design, manufacturing, and maintenance processes.

Understanding the Scope

At its core, CEN/TS 17814 is tailored to Master Key Systems, focusing on safeguarding the data involved in their creation. From the initial design and manufacturing stages to the ongoing protection of sensitive information, this specification serves as a pivotal resource in enhancing security protocols.

Key Areas Covered

The specification spans a range of crucial areas, ensuring a holistic approach to data security within Master Key Systems:

  1. Planning & Ordering: Guidance on the meticulous planning and ordering phases of a Master Key System.
  2. Transmission of Lock Charts: Secure transmission methods for Master Key System lock charts.
  3. Data Handling Requirements: General requirements for the secure handling of data throughout the system’s life cycle.
  4. Calculation of Systems: Insights into the precise calculations involved in developing a Master Key System.
  5. Manufacturing Processes: Guidelines for the manufacture of a Master Key System to uphold stringent security standards.
  6. Key Preparation: Ensuring the secure preparation of keys belonging to a Master Key System.
  7. Shipment & Installation: Recommendations for the secure shipment and installation of Master Key Systems.
  8. System Lifetime Management: Strategies for the ongoing management of Master Key System data throughout its operational life.

Connecting with EN1303:2015

While EN1303:2015 primarily focuses on the requirements and test methods for Cylinder Locks, the security of a Master Key System extends beyond the construction of a cylinder and the cutting of a key. CEN/TS 17814 acts as a crucial complement, offering an additional layer of security to the existing standards, ensuring a more comprehensive and robust security framework.

Confidence in Security

Choosing a Master Key System aligned with CEN/TS 17814 provides end user clients with confidence. The assurance that the data and products utilized in the construction, supply, and maintenance of their unique Master Key System adhere to the highest levels of security is paramount. This Technical Specification serves as a beacon, guiding stakeholders toward an elevated standard of security for Master Key Systems.

In a world where data security is paramount, CEN/TS 17814 stands as a testament to the commitment of the industry to prioritize and enhance the protection of sensitive information throughout the lifecycle of Master Key Systems.

Access2 Passes ISO 9001 with flying colours – Because quality isn’t just a checkbox

At Access2, quality has never been an afterthought, it’s embedded in everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we’ve once again passed our ISO 9001 audit and while it’s not our first time, it never loses significance. ISO 9001 is the globally recognised gold standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). It’s about more than ticking compliance boxes it’s about building smarter, stronger processes that deliver consistent, reliable results to our customers. For Lesley Rhodes, Head of Policy & Process, ISO 9001 is close to the heart.  “We don’t do it for the certificate on the wall. We do it because it challenges us to always be better and that benefits our customers, our people, and the future of Access2.” Why it matters: The whole management team is involved — this isn’t a solo effort. It’s part of our everyday operations — not a once-a-year scramble. We use the audit process as a chance to pause, reflect, and find improvements. Whether it’s refining our product quality, streamlining customer service, or sharpening our decision-making with data, ISO 9001 gives us the tools to lead, not follow. The Power of Process From mechanical security to access control, our clients rely on us to get it right, every time. And with ISO 9001, we’re not just saying we deliver quality, we’re proving it through a tried, tested and internationally recognised system.   In an industry where details matter, we’re proud to show our commitment to constant improvement, customer satisfaction, and doing things properly.   Here’s to raising the bar and then raising it again next year.
