CANTON, GA – Gallagher Security is proud to announce that its recently-released High Security Controller 7000 (High Sec C7000) has received two prestigious accolades: a GOVIES Government Security Award for Access Control - Software/Controllers and a Fortress Cybersecurity Award in the Operational Technology (OT) category. 

These awards further affirm the High Sec C7000’s position as a best-in-class access control solution engineered to meet the evolving cybersecurity demands of critical infrastructure, government, and high-consequence commercial environments.

Launched in 2025 to serve high-security sites in the Americas and beyond, the High Sec C7000 is GSA-approved and PIV-compliant (FIPS 201-3) with UL/ULC compliance and Class 5 certification for Australian and New Zealand markets. It integrates a FIPS-approved microprocessor, EdgeLock Secure Element, and Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to protect against firmware attacks and supply chain vulnerabilities. 

“Our team has engineered the High Sec C7000 for the most demanding operational environments,” says Jeff Fields, Director of Government Programs - Americas. “Whether it’s federal agencies, utilities, or data centers, our customers need resilient solutions with proactive cybersecurity capabilities. To be recognized by both the GOVIES and the Fortress Cybersecurity Awards shows that our solutions aren’t just secure, they’re leading the way.”
