Gallagher Security releases PIV-compliant High Security Controller 7000 to the American market

CANTON, GEORGIA – Global security manufacturer, Gallagher Security has announced the release of the latest addition to its award-winning controller product range, the High Security Controller 7000 (High Sec C7000) to the American market.  

US General Services Administration (GSA) compliant, the High Sec C7000 provides customers with the confidence that Gallagher will continue to meet the highest standards of countries in the Five Eyes Alliance and ensure they’re meeting their compliances with confidence and a future-proofed vision. 

The High Sec C7000 has been designed with all the features of the recently released C7000 Enhanced, a FIPs approved micro, and cybersecurity at the heart. It also incorporates all the core functions of the award-winning C7000 Standard variant released 18 months ago, while expanding capabilities in key areas to deliver customers enhanced reliability, resilience, redundancy, and cybersecurity. 

Gallagher Security Product Manager, Jim Rayner, who led production on the High Sec C7000 says: “While the Controller 7000 Standard already has excellent cybersecurity functionality, the High Sec C7000 goes a step further with higher security government and commercial applications firmly in mind.” 

He adds: “We’re increasingly seeing an appetite for large users who need solutions that are certified to be used on critical national infrastructure. These are not necessarily government sites, but also commercial enterprises seeking to mitigate risk to ensure business continuity. These users are wanting devices that are PIV-ready to get that extra level of security – they want to get ahead of emerging threats.” 

The High Sec C7000 is built with FIPS compliant components and as with previous High Sec generations, has been approved by the GSA and is PIV-compliant (FIPS 201-3). It has also achieved UL/ULC compliance and meets Class 5 standards which require monitoring of cabling between device and controller for Australia and New Zealand high security customers including government, defense, prisons, and data centers.  

Providing End Users with industry-leading protection against attacks on firmware in the supply chain and a platform ready for the future, Gallagher’s C7000 product range are IP based controllers that can manage all localized access control, intruder alarms, perimeter security, business automation and logic needs for an organization. 

Able to operate independently from the Command Centre server, the C7000 product range ensures predefined responses to monitored events, site safety, and continuity, and features a highly scalable system design, able to scale from single door systems to global systems with up to 10,000 controllers per server. 

The release of the High Sec C7000 brings Gallagher’s controller product range to a total of four, including the C7000 Single Door, C7000 Standard, and C7000 Enhanced variants.
