Gallagher Security and Advancis form strategic partnership to unify security management

WARWICK, UK – Gallagher Security has entered into a strategic partnership with Advancis, one of the world’s leading independent security and building management software organisations.  

This partnership reflects Gallagher’s continued focus on delivering customer-centric solutions through collaboration with leading technology providers. By combining Gallagher’s award-winning access control platform, Command Centre, with Advancis’ renowned open integration platform, WinGuard, the two companies are enabling organisations to manage security more effectively across complex environments. 

“Partnering with Advancis demonstrates our dedication to building strong, strategic alliances that give our customers greater flexibility and control,” says Spencer Marshall, Executive Vice President – Europe at Gallagher Security. “Advancis’ open integration approach complements Gallagher’s own commitment to interoperability, and together we can offer end customers a powerful, tailored security ecosystem. This is another example of how Gallagher is expanding its presence in Europe by partnering with market leaders who share our vision of customer-led innovation.” 

Advancis has been active as an independent software house for more than 30 years and is widely recognised as an international market leader in vendor-neutral security and building management. Their open integration platform, WinGuard, unifies disparate security, building, and communication systems into a single interface, with more than 550 adapter drivers currently available. 

Through this partnership, WinGuard now integrates directly with Gallagher Command Centre via a secure, TLS-encrypted REST API connection. This integration allows real-time state synchronisation and control of critical access control components such as doors, alarm zones, access zones, and inputs/outputs. These capabilities strengthen resilience in industries where maximum security is critical, including finance, administration, transport, healthcare, logistics, data centres, and critical infrastructure. 

“Integrating Gallagher Command Centre into WinGuard extends the end users’ ability to unify diverse systems in a single interface,” David Teppe, Head of Strategic Alliances at Advancis elaborates.  

“Through secure, real-time synchronization, operators can monitor and control key access functions while benefiting from enhanced visibility, faster alarm handling, and streamlined workflows. Together with Gallagher, Advancis ensures a reliable, future-ready integration that simplifies operations and strengthens security for our customers.” 

Advancis will be present at Integrate 2025 on 9 October, where Advancis joins eight other Technology Partners showcasing their solutions alongside Gallagher Security in the Hub to explore the power of integration, learn about the latest integrations, developments, and insights from industry leaders.
