Systems
Gallagher security systems are scalable and configurable for any scenario – from simple and discrete to comprehensive and enterprise wide. Gallagher’s offering includes standalone non-lethal perimeter electric fencing, no-feel sensor technologies, through to centrally configured and controlled access, intruder alarms, perimeter security and compliance management. This native combination is believed to be a world first. Gallagher’s business-connected security integration platform automatically executes business policy by enforcing compliance with regulation; it resides on an organisation’s IT network and stores information about cardholders, the site and system activity and delivers security from the perimeter to the hub.
Access Control Overview
Gallagher caters for all levels of security from fully monitored access control for a critical infrastructure site to cost-effective wireless and data on card options for securing dormitories and lockers.
The Gallagher security platform monitors and controls authorised personnel and visitors on site via electronic card readers, RFIDs, fingerprint readers and keypads. The system provides automatic access control across multiple zones within a single site and multiple facilities.
With full control over where and when your staff, visitors and vehicles can move around at all times, the Gallagher system delivers beyond traditional access control (based on Who, Where and When) and also automates compliance with operational and regulatory policy (the What).
Access can be based on individual’s competencies such as safety induction and training, security clearances and regulatory compliance. Validity periods and competency expiry can be factored into the access decision.
The benefits of competency-based access management are:
• Automatic enforcement of business OH&S rules and policies
• Reduction in production stoppages due to non-compliant staff being in the wrong areas
• Tangible evidence of ‘duty of care’ to staff and customers
• Automatic compliance with government regulations.
Controller based decisions based on an individual’s competency are delivered via screen feedback on the door reader or display monitor. Once configured, all of this is achieved independent of Server and IT Network connectivity.
