Gallagher Security and Advancis form strategic partnership

By combining Gallagher Security’s award-winning access control platform, namely Command Centre, with Advancis’ renowned open integration platform (designated WinGuard), the two companies are enabling today’s organisations to manage security more effectively across complex environments.

“Partnering with Advancis demonstrates our dedication to building strong and strategic alliances that afford our customers greater flexibility and control,” explained Spencer Marshall, executive vice-president for Europe at Gallagher Security. “Advancis’ open integration approach complements Gallagher’s own commitment to interoperability. Together, we can offer end customers a powerful and tailored security ecosystem. This is another example of how Gallagher Security 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. The WinGuard open integration platform unifies disparate security, building and communication systems into a single interface, with more than 550 adapter drivers currently available.

Direct integration

Through this partnership, WinGuard now integrates directly with Gallagher Security’s 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 Security’s Command Centre into WinGuard extends end users’ ability to unify diverse systems in a single interface,” stated David Teppe, head of strategic alliances at Advancis. “Through secure and real-time synchronisation, operators can monitor and control key access functions, while benefiting from enhanced visibility, faster alarm handling and streamlined workflows. Together with Gallagher Security, Advancis ensures a reliable and future-ready integration that simplifies operations and strengthens security for our customers.”

Advancis will be present at Integrate 2025, which runs on 9 October. The business joins eight other Technology Partners in ‘The Hub’ who’ll be showcasing their solutions alongside Gallagher Security and exploring the power of integration. Attendees will learn about the latest integrations, developments and insights from several industry leaders.
