Federal judiciary coverage across Brazil

Challenge

Brazil's federal judiciary spans a country of 215 million people and 8.5 million square kilometres. Securing 77+ courthouses across 26 states means consistent visitor screening, public-access protocols for high-profile proceedings, and real-time oversight from Brasília — without standing up local infrastructure at every regional site.

Solution

VAULT Cloud runs every site from one platform. Brasília has real-time visibility across the federal judiciary; credentials, schedules and audit trails propagate instantly. No on-site servers at regional courthouses.

Multi-site cloud architecture

All 77+ sites under one console. Brasília sees access events, credential status, and system health across every courthouse in real time.

Centralised access control

3,600+ doors and turnstiles run under consistent policy. A judge's credentials work the same in Brasília as in a regional court.

Turnstile integration

Turnstile barriers coordinate with door access through one system. No standalone barrier infrastructure, no credential gaps.

Visitor management

Pre-registration, ID verification, and host notification operate consistently from headquarters to regional courthouses.

Centralised reporting

Audit trails and access logs consolidate across all 77+ sites — a single dashboard for the entire judiciary's physical security posture.

Results

Brazil's federal judiciary runs centralised security across 77+ sites — Brasília to regional courthouses, all under one cloud platform.

A national court runs on consistency. The same credential, the same audit trail, the same response — whether the door is in Brasília or a regional courthouse 3,000 kilometres away.
