Gallagher Security releases Command Centre v9.40

This release marks a significant step forward for Gallagher’s award-winning site management platform, with enhanced scalability, performance and proactive system management, in turn reinforcing the company’s commitment to supporting complex and high-density access control environments.

Mark Junge, Gallagher Security’s CEO, believes that with Command Centre v9.40, Gallagher’s Controller 7000 product range (including the Standard, Enhanced and High Security variants) now supports the optional licensing expansion of up to 24 doors per controller, more than doubling the previous limit of ten.

“This enhancement means larger installations can be managed with significant reductions in infrastructure costs and simplified system architecture,” explained Junge. “Importantly, at full 24-door capacity, the Controller 7000 range maintains high performance and access responsiveness, even in the most demanding environments.”

Junge continued: “When we launched the C7000, we said it was the platform for the future. With v9.40, we’re delivering on that promise. This release is a direct response to the needs of our channel partners and end users for greater flexibility and scalability. It’s just the beginning.”

Further, Junge noted: “As part of Command Centre v9.40, we’ve boosted the number of HBUS readers supported from 20 to 40 and increased OSDP readers from 16 to 32. V9.40 also increases the number of supported inter-controller communications from 60 to 100, allowing for larger and more complex controller networks without compromising performance or manageability.”

Lock Cycle Counting 

Command Centre v9.40 also introduces Lock Cycle Counting: a new feature designed to support proactive maintenance strategies.

Gallagher Security’s senior product manager Jim Rayner explained: “We know that when locks fail, they do it at the most inconvenient time: at the end of the day or after hours. This results in costly call-outs and expensive repairs. Proactively managing the life of a lock prevents these occurrences from happening and ensures upgrades are proactive.”

Also available with v9.40 is Entra ID single sign-on. The Command Centre integration with Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on enables secure and seamless authentication using OpenID Connect.

Rayner noted: “This integration allows customers to align with their host organisation’s cloud-first identity strategy, reduce reliance on legacy Active Directory infrastructure and benefit from centralised access control, multi-factor authentication and conditional access policies: all managed through Microsoft Entra. It simplifies user management, enhances security and supports smoother migration to modern identity platforms.”
