Cybersecurity for Government Security Agencies

Policy-Driven Protection.

Endpoint Assurance at the

Hardware Level.

Government agencies operate on the front lines of national security, intelligence, and public safety. In these environments, hardware-based threats pose some of the most serious risks—especially when a single rogue device can compromise an entire operation.

Unique Security Challenges for Government Agencies

Zerium helps agencies close that gap with deep physical-layer visibility and consultative support tailored to high-assurance environments.

Unlike private organisations, government bodies often deal with:

Classified networks with strict access requirements

Highly mobile staff and contractors

Diverse hardware footprints across departments and secure zones

Sensitive systems prone to foreign interference

Tight regulatory and policy constraints on endpoint control

Most security stacks still rely on traditional software controls and behaviour-based monitoring—leaving a critical gap in visibility and trust: the physical hardware itself.

Zerium’s Secure-by-Design Approach for Government

With Sepio’s patented Asset DNA profiling and Zerium’s hands-on advisory, we provide a unified approach to hardware-based risk mitigation that aligns with national-level policies and operational constraints.

Discover Every Connected Device

Whether on classified LANs, air-gapped systems, or remote field infrastructure—Zerium helps you identify and fingerprint every connected device, even those that mimic authorised assets.

Detect and Neutralise Rogue Hardware

Find and mitigate malicious implants, spoofed devices, or unauthorized peripherals that may have been introduced intentionally or unknowingly.

Enforce Hardware Trust Policies

Apply strict, zero-trust controls based on the physical identity of each device. Limit access to only verified hardware, automate responses, and integrate with existing NAC or orchestration systems.

Meet Mandates and Secure Against Insider Threats

Whether you're securing a secure office, command centre, or defence facility, Zerium helps reduce insider risk and ensure policy compliance at every endpoint.

Aligned with Government Frameworks and Mandates

Zerium supports compliance and operational readiness for UK and international public sector frameworks, including:

UK Government Cyber Essentials / Cyber Essentials Plus

NCSC’s Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF)

MOD and defence-specific security protocols

CIS Controls – Strong implementation of asset inventory and device control

NIST Cybersecurity Framework – From asset identification to incident response

CISA BOD 23-01 – Global visibility directives mapped to UK best practices

We offer documentation, audit trail generation, and executive reporting to simplify policy enforcement and demonstrate due diligence.

Applications in Government and Defence Settings

Zerium’s physical-layer visibility and Sepio’s platform have direct application in a range of high-security environments:


Military and Defence

Secure tactical and administrative systems against unknown or spoofed hardware

 Intelligence Agencies

Detect rogue USBs or hidden devices within air-gapped and classified environments

Government IT Departments

Monitor and control access to shared systems, workstations, and BYOD equipment

Critical Decision-Making Facilities

Maintain integrity of connected assets during sensitive operations

Contractor and Supplier Access Points

Enforce hardware validation policies when external hardware is introduced
