The approval adds the reader to Gallagher's portfolio of NPSA-approved products for high-security environments and expands its offering for customers in the UK and Europe. Gallagher Security is a global security manufacturer whose products include access control readers, controllers and command centre software.\n\n## What the High Sec T30 Approval Covers\n\nJason Hunter, High Security Manager for the UK and Ireland, said the approval is significant for organizations in regulated sectors. \"NPSA approval is widely recognized as a benchmark for security excellence, and the High Sec T30 strengthens Gallagher's ability to deliver trusted, end-to-end high-security solutions for government, defense, critical national infrastructure, and utilities across the UK and Europe,\" Hunter said.\n\nGallagher Security Product Manager Sean Kelly said the reader was designed for sites that do not require a screen and supports card and PIN authentication. \"Designed for sites where security cannot be compromised, the High Sec T30 has a nice formfactor for situations that don't require a screen,\" Kelly said. \"Achieving NPSA approval for the High Sec T30 is an important milestone for Gallagher and further validates the strength of our high-security portfolio.\"\n\nThe reader supports MIFARE DESFire EV1, EV2 and EV3 credentials, as well as legacy technologies including MIFARE Classic and MIFARE Plus. It uses secure HBUS communications and dedicated FIPS 140-3 cryptographic secure storage. The reader is rated IP68 for environmental protection and IK09 for impact protection, and includes rear optical tamper detection and an arming key with alarm zone status indication.\n\n## Gallagher's Earlier NPSA Approvals\n\nIn January 2026, the High Security C7000 received approval under the Automatic Access Control Systems and Cyber Assurance of Physical Security Systems programs. Gallagher was also the first manufacturer to receive both CAPSS 2021 and AACS 2022 approvals for its Command Centre and High Security Controller 6000. Hunter said Gallagher has a proven track record protecting critical infrastructure, government facilities and high-security sites globally, and continues to invest in technologies that help organizations meet evolving national security expectations.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
