What Kisi is
Kisi is a physical security and space management platform for managing facility access, users and security through a web dashboard and app. Users can unlock doors with the mobile app, while administrators can grant or revoke access, manage visitors, review events and initiate lockdowns. Credentials include the app, smartwatches, Apple Wallet badges, Kisi cards and fobs, third-party NFC and RFID credentials, and QR codes. Temporary visitors can use access links or QR codes without a Kisi account or app; administrators can set credential validity dates. Access controls include schedules, device and location restrictions, remote lockdown and offline unlocking fallback mechanisms. Kisi lists integrations for identity management, video security, workplace management, and fitness and coworking software, including Microsoft Entra ID, Cisco Meraki, Glofox and OfficeRnD. Its JSON-based open API covers more than 40 resource types. Hardware may be required at extra cost, and installation costs are separate and depend on third-party installers.
