receiving second identification information of the user from a second security controller located at a second location that is remote from the first location;
determining the security status of the user based on the first identification information and the second identification information, wherein the security status of the user indicates whether the user is present at one of the first location and the second location and whether outbound calling by the user is restricted; and
