The latest release of Gallagher Security's Command Centre v9.50 aims to enhance efficiency for organisations investing in security technology. A key feature of this update is the full integration of AccessNow, the company's cloud-native platform that automates the access and credential request process, from initial request to final approval and provisioning.
Josh Arnold, Gallagher Security's Chief Product Officer, notes that many organisations still manage access manually, using email for requests and facing frequent delays in approvals. "AccessNow transforms this experience by enabling users to submit requests from any device, automatically routing approvals to the right people, and provisioning access directly within Command Centre once approved," states Josh.
Enhanced security and efficiency
AccessNow offers configurable workflows to alleviate friction in access management. Security teams can customise automation to manage the spectrum of access requests efficiently. The Command Centre v9.50 also introduces various enhancements to streamline operations, improve system accessibility, and provide deeper insights, allowing organisations to enhance security while boosting operational efficiency.

The new release underlines Gallagher's commitment to innovation with practical applications. A notable addition is the PIN Exemption feature, which offers flexible access options by allowing organisations to waive PIN requirements in card + PIN secured areas, suitable for both temporary and permanent situations without compromising security.
Advanced biometric and data integration
The Command Centre v9.50 expands its biometric offerings by incorporating the VisionPass SP Fingerscan Module. This device combines facial and fingerprint recognition for flexible authentication that can function in various conditions, whether independently or together. Furthermore, the update enhances data integration by introducing a new Reporting Dataset that enables Command Centre to work with third-party analytics tools such as Power BI, Tableau, and Excel, enriching security data with business intelligence insights.
Josh concludes, "Command Centre v9.50 is another step forward in the value security solutions deliver. Security teams are under increasing pressure to do more with less, while managing growing complexity. This release reiterates Gallagher’s commitment to automating the manual, improving accessibility for all users, and giving organisations the insights they need to make smarter decisions faster." The new Command Centre v9.50 is now available.
The latest Gallagher Security Command Centre v9.50 release is designed to help organisations achieve more with their security investment.
Headlining the release is the full integration of AccessNow, Gallagher Security’s cloud-native platform that automates the entire access and credential request process from request through to approval and provisioning.
Largely manual process
Josh Arnold, Chief Product Officer, says at many organisations today, granting access remains a largely manual process, with requests handled via email, and approvals often delayed or lost.
“AccessNow transforms this experience by enabling users to submit requests from any device, automatically routing approvals to the right people, and provisioning access directly within Command Centre once approved,” explains Josh.
Broader security settings
“At its core, AccessNow removes friction by enabling configurable workflows. Security teams can define and tailor automation to handle the full range of access requests they receive.” Command Centre v9.50 also introduces a range of new capabilities that streamline processes, improve accessibility, and unlock greater insight from security systems – enabling organisations to operate more efficiently while strengthening protection.
The release reflects Gallagher’s ongoing commitment to practical innovation that delivers real operational value. “A new PIN Exemption feature is introduced, providing a flexible accessibility option. This allows organisations to exempt individuals from PIN entry requirements in card + PIN secured areas, supporting both temporary and permanent accessibility needs without compromising broader security settings,” says Josh.
Flexible authentication options
Further expanding biometric capabilities, Command Centre v9.50 now supports the VisionPass SP Fingerscan Module. By combining facial recognition and fingerprint scanning within a single device, the solution provides flexible authentication options that can operate independently or together, ensuring reliable access in a wide range of conditions.
In addition, the Command Centre release strengthens integration and data capabilities, with a new Reporting Dataset enabling Command Centre to connect with third-party analytics platforms including Power BI, Tableau, and Excel. This allows organisations to extract greater value from their security data by combining it with broader business intelligence tools.
“Command Centre v9.50 is another step forward in the value security solutions deliver,” says Josh. “Security teams are under increasing pressure to do more with less, while managing growing complexity. This release reiterates Gallagher’s commitment to automating the manual, improving accessibility for all users, and giving organisations the insights they need to make smarter decisions faster.” Command Centre v9.50 is now available.
