Why Gallagher is uniquely positioned to deliver high security solutions
The foundation for Gallagher’s ability to meet the highest standards from governments around the world stems from our vertically integrated production model.
For 85 years, our solutions have been designed, engineered, manufactured, and distributed from our head office in Hamilton, New Zealand. Controlling every element of the production cycle process ensures efficiency and product integrity. Every component, from our software through to our hardware, is generated and assembled in one location, reducing the number of touchpoints and vulnerabilities faced by other security manufacturers who rely on sourcing materials from third party suppliers. Flexibility, agility, and responsiveness are values we adhere to and practice every day. We strive to continuously improve our solutions to meet and exceed customer demand in high security environments.
Having the flexibility to rapidly adapt to changing global environments and the ability to produce a line of high security solutions designed specifically for government bodies is what separates us from the traditional access control supplier.
As a privately-owned company, Gallagher has the freedom and ability to invest in our manufacturing and distribution facilities as needed to ensure we can continue to meet market demand, including maintaining highly trusted relationships with our supply chain. It also means the ability to rapidly innovate and bring new technologies to market, an achievement made possible by our dedication to investing 15% of profits back into our research and development team each year. The end result is a security manufacturer who can deliver during uncertain times without sacrificing quality.
Altogether, these capabilities make Gallagher Security uniquely capable of achieving a higher standard of quality control and production privacy unmatched in the security industry.
End-to-end hardware and software designed to government standards
While New Zealand is home to the inception and production of Gallagher Security’s solutions, our borders extend to nearly every corner of the globe.
Our high security teams maintain close relationships with the various international Standards Developing Organizations establishing requirements for compliance, which enables Gallagher to produce a line of high security software and hardware designed specifically to meet – and often exceed – regional, national, and global standards.
The result is a precise end-to-end solution built with a high level of oversight and control, ready to serve diverse government needs and high security facilities, from office buildings to military sites and beyond.

Gallagher’s cybersecurity approach
There’s a reason why governments around the world set these high standards for security compliance – their organizations are under constant threat of cyberattack, both domestically and abroad. Protecting against these threats requires partnering with a security manufacturer who can ensure their solutions are up to the task.
At Gallagher, our goal is to be the most cyber-secure physical security manufacturer operating on the global stage. With cybersecurity baked into every step of our manufacturing process, we continually evolve our solutions to proactively identify and fortify vulnerabilities.
Steps we take to achieve this include:
- Controlling our supply chain from components through to shipping
- End-to-end encryption and authentication built into our system
- Demonstrable proof of origin to protect against supply chain and substitution attacks
- Simplicity of interface and operation, allowing users to effectively handle incidents
- Releasing software and firmware updates every 6 months
- Maintaining a U.S. Homeland Department of Security secured export partner status
To further ensure our systems are as robust as possible, Gallagher’s dedicated cybersecurity research team regularly conducts both internal and external vulnerability testing. The process begins in house with 150 virtual machines running 20,000 tests nightly on Command Centre, the powerful software at the heart of our high security solutions. From there, we secure third-party testing and certification to demonstrate rigor and reliability in our cyber protections.
Gallagher is also authorized as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA), demonstrating a level of maturity in cybersecurity and a commitment to communicating vulnerability information that has earned the trust of multiple critically important sites around the world.
No one sets a higher standard
For over 20 years, Gallagher has been protecting those who protect us in the high security space. Through lasting partnerships with global governments and solutions designed to meet their specific compliances, challenges, and needs, no one sets a higher standard for high security than Gallagher Security.
