Danish term or phrase: ADK access control (abbreviation)
ADK = adgangskontrol

AIA/ADK-anlæg – er to løsninger, der er med til at sikre, at kun de tiltænkte mennesker har adgang til en given bygning eller et givent lokale. Tyverianlæg (AIA-anlæg) installeres med alarmering til en central, pr. sms, til et givent telefonnummer eller til noget helt tredje efter den enkelte kundes specifikke ønske. ADK-anlægget sørger for en professionel adgangskontrol til bygninger og områder. AIA- og ADK-anlæg kan med fordel installeres som en samlet løsning.

(This is not the text I am translating, but gives the context well.)

OK, I can always call it access control, but would like to know what ADK actually stands for, please!

As AIA is Automatic IndbrudsAlarmering / Automatic Intruder Alarm

and so on.

Tusind tak!

Explanation:
ADK = adgangskontrol, as you already guessed. It is the generally used abbreviation for adgangskontrol in relation to security systems; not very logical, but that's how it is. :)

Easy enough to find examples of the combination of ADK and adgangskontrol via Google.
