The Model

What access control as a service actually means

01
Doors installedreaders, controllers & locks at your building
02
Cloud managedcredentials & schedules from any browser
03
Monthly servicesoftware, hosting, updates & support

ACaaS replaces the owned access control server with a cloud subscription: the hardware lives at your doors, the intelligence lives in the cloud, and the software, hosting, updates, and support arrive as one predictable monthly cost. Employees badge in with cards, fobs, or their phones; administrators manage every door and credential from a browser — across one building or an entire portfolio.

What You're Paying For

What the monthly actually covers

Software licensing for every door and administrator
Cloud hosting — no server, appliance, or VM on your network
Automatic updates and new features as they ship
Mobile credentials — phone and wallet-based entry options
Support and admin changes from the team that installed it
Hardware warranty and service program options

For full dollar figures by edition and door count, see our Brivo pricing guide — subscription tiers, worked monthly examples, and installed cost ranges.

The Trade

Owning a system vs. subscribing to one

Own it (on-prem)

  • Server or appliance to buy & maintain
  • Software maintenance renewals
  • IT time for patching, backups & user changes
  • Forklift upgrade in year 6–8

ACaaS

  • Predictable monthly cost per door
  • Hosting, updates & new features included
  • Manage from anywhere — nothing to patch
  • Scales door by door, site by site

Deeper architecture trade-offs: cloud vs. on-prem access control.

Best Fit

Who standardizes on ACaaS

Multi-Site Portfolios

CRE, franchises, distributed enterprise

One dashboard for every location, one credential per person everywhere, and new sites added without new servers — the model behind our multi-site access control guide.

Growing Companies

Adding doors, suites & sites

Capacity scales per door instead of per forklift upgrade. The system you buy for 4 doors is the same one running 40.

Lean IT Teams

No appetite for another server

Nothing to patch, back up, or babysit. Credential changes take a browser, not a site visit — and WCC handles the rest under the same contract.

Already Have a System?

Migrating a legacy system to ACaaS

Most buildings don't start from zero. Brivo's open, Mercury-based controllers are built to take over legacy panels — often reusing existing readers, door hardware, and wiring, which meaningfully cuts installed cost. We assess what's reusable on a site walk and phase the cutover so doors never go unsecured. Planning resource: access control migration planning guide.

FAQ

Access control as a service, answered

What is access control as a service (ACaaS)?
Cloud-based access control delivered as a monthly subscription: door hardware installed at your building, management software hosted in the cloud, and updates, hosting, and support bundled into one predictable monthly cost — no on-premises server to own.
How much does ACaaS cost?
Software typically runs $25–$50 per door per month at list depending on edition and door count, plus one-time professional installation. Full numbers, tiers, and worked examples: Brivo pricing guide.
Who owns the hardware?
In most WCC ACaaS engagements you own the installed hardware and subscribe to the software and service layer. Ask about program options for bundling hardware into the monthly.
Can ACaaS reuse my existing readers and wiring?
Often, yes — Brivo's open, Mercury-based controllers are designed to migrate legacy systems. A site walk determines what's reusable, which lowers installed cost.
What platform does WCC use?
Brivo is our primary ACaaS platform — a cloud access control leader with open hardware, mobile credentials, and multi-site management. WCC is a certified Brivo dealer with CSLB-licensed, in-house installers.
