EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554)

Art. 9(4)(b) Robust network and infrastructure management using appropriate techniques and methods

Stateful firewall with IPS at the network perimeter. All inbound/outbound traffic inspected with Suricata rule sets. VPN gateway replaces consumer VPN dependency.

Art. 28 General principles for sound management of ICT third-party risk

Open-source firmware is publicly auditable and reproducibly built. EU jurisdiction hardware is not subject to US National Security Letters. Directly addresses hardware supply chain risk in CMMC and NIS2.

Art. 9(4)(c) Policies limiting physical access to information assets and ICT assets

Rated safes and vaults protect physical assets, documents, and hardware backups with UL-certified burglary ratings — from UL 1037 RSC (residential) up to UL 687 TL-15/TL-30 vault-grade for insurance-mandated or enterprise specialty storage (the tier insurers and auditors recognize; see the ratings ladder on /safe). SecurityTitan laptops extend physical protection to devices in transit: glitter-sealed tamper-evident screws with photographic verification make case intrusion detectable.

Art. 11 ICT response and recovery — continuity of critical or important functions

Encrypted LoRa mesh radios (Meshtastic / MeshCore / Reticulum) move text and GPS with no cellular, WiFi, internet, or subscription — every node relays for every other, on FCC Part 15 unlicensed 915 MHz spectrum. The out-of-band channel for disaster response, incident communications when primary networks are down or untrusted, remote sites, and executive contingency plans.
