Vendor-neutral advice

We integrate multiple access control platforms, so we recommend Gallagher when Gallagher is the right answer — and tell you when it is not.

What is Gallagher Access Control?

Gallagher access control is an enterprise access control platform built on Command Centre software, Controller 7000 hardware and the T-Series reader range. Together, they manage who can enter each area of your site, when, and under what conditions—from a single door to a national portfolio administered from one cardholder database.

Two design decisions set Gallagher apart. First, controllers make and enforce access decisions, not the server. If the network or the connection to the server drops, Gallagher controllers hold their programming and keep applying your site rules locally — a communications outage does not become a security outage.

Second, access can depend on more than a valid credential. Command Centre’s competency model checks inductions, licences and training currency at the moment of entry. As a result, a lapsed certification stops a person at the door rather than surfacing in an audit weeks later.

Gallagher Security develops the platform in New Zealand and deploys it worldwide, including at some of Australia’s most closely governed sites. JD Security designs, installs, commissions and maintains Gallagher access control as a Certified Channel Partner across Australia and New Zealand.

Gallagher Command Centre: the software behind the doors

Command Centre is where your team manages the system day-to-day — cardholders, access groups, doors, schedules, reporting, and site plans in one interface.

It connects to the systems you already run. Command Centre imports cardholder data from Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta or your HR platform and keeps it current, removing the duplicate data entry that causes access errors and orphaned credentials. Access rights can be assigned by area, time of day, credential status and competency — inductions, licences and training — so authorisation reflects reality, not last quarter’s spreadsheet.

When something goes wrong, Command Centre supports one-button lockdown across selected doors or the whole site.

Different roles get different tools. Command Centre Web gives reception and front-desk staff browser-based cardholder administration without exposing wider system functions, and Command Centre Mobile puts cardholder checks and door overrides on a phone for staff who are rarely at a desk.
