CANTON, GA — Gallagher Security is proud to announce that their High Security Controller 7000 (High Sec C7000) has been named Outstanding New Security Product at the Canada Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs). This marks Gallagher’s first win at the Canada OSPAs, the fourth award for the High Sec C7000, and the eleventh accolade overall for the 7000 Controller Series.
Recognized for its advanced resilience, cyber assurance, and readiness for the world’s most demanding environments, the High Sec C7000 continues to set the benchmark for high-assurance access control.
“The High Sec C7000 reflects years of investment into secure architecture and forward-looking design,” says Jim Rayner, Senior Product Manager for Gallagher Security. “To see it honored again on a global stage reinforces that we’re solving real challenges for high-security customers who can’t afford compromise.”
Purpose-built for critical infrastructure, government, and high-consequence commercial applications, the High Sec C7000 combines a GSA-approved and PIV-compliant design (FIPS 201-3) with UL/ULC compliance and Class 5 certification for Australia and New Zealand. Its advanced security framework integrates a FIPS-approved microprocessor, EdgeLock Secure Element, and Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), delivering hardware-anchored security to safeguard firmware integrity and defend against supply chain compromises.
“This award is especially meaningful because it recognizes innovation that is both practical and mission-focused,” says Jeff Fields, Director of Government Programs – Americas. “Organizations are looking for technology that strengthens defenses without adding complexity. The High Sec C7000 gives them that confidence - resilient performance, deep cybersecurity capability, and the assurance they need to operate securely at scale.”
The Canada OSPAs celebrate excellence across the security industry, recognizing organizations, teams, and products that demonstrate outstanding performance and leadership. Gallagher’s win underscores the growing global demand for robust, cyber-resilient access control solutions.
With eleven total awards across the Controller 7000 Series - including the Standard, Enhanced, Single Door, and High Security variants - Gallagher continues to deliver trusted, future-ready solutions from the edge to the enterprise.
