Binding EU regulation for financial entities, applicable since 17 January 2025. Article 9 requires strong authentication for remote and privileged access and protection of data at rest, in use, and in transit. Detailed requirements are set by the ICT risk management RTS, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1774.

Phishing-resistant MFA using hardware security keys. Software TOTP and SMS are explicitly excluded from "phishing-resistant" in NIST 800-63B and most modern framework guidance.
Products that satisfy this control:
Hardware-bound key generation and storage. Private keys generated and stored inside a certified secure element (EAL 6+) and are non-exportable by design — for login credentials (Nitrokey) and crypto-asset custody (Ledger) alike.
Products that satisfy this control:
Measured boot chain verified on every power-on. Any firmware modification — supply chain implant, evil-maid attack, or malicious update — fails attestation before the OS loads.
Products that satisfy this control:
VM-level compartmentalization means a compromise of one domain (e.g. browser) cannot reach another (e.g. keys, vault). No other consumer laptop provides this by default.
Products that satisfy this control:
Stateful firewall with IPS at the network perimeter. All inbound/outbound traffic inspected with Suricata rule sets. VPN gateway replaces consumer VPN dependency.
Products that satisfy this control:
Hardware-encrypted storage and self-hosted file servers replace cloud storage with hardware you control. Encryption keys never leave your environment.
Products that satisfy this control:
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.
Products that satisfy this control:
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.
Products that satisfy this control:
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.
Products that satisfy this control:
Same control in other frameworks:
Verified boot ensures the TLS stack is unmodified before communication. VPN gateway encrypts all remote access traffic. Hardware-backed keys prevent interception even if endpoints are observed.
