TEMPEST-PROTECTED COMPUTER

We offer proprietary, RÖS-protected computers tailored for all types of operations and environments – from desktops and laptops to thin clients. Whatever your specific security requirements, our computers ensure that your organization meets all RÖS U1 requirements and complies with Tempest Level A standards, allowing you to work securely and efficiently while managing information in accordance with the Swedish Protective Security Act.

What's a TEMPEST-protected computer?

A TEMPEST-protected computer is designed to withstand electronic eavesdropping and prevent confidential information from being disclosed through electromagnetic signals. “TEMPEST” refers to “compromising emanations,” meaning the computer is shielded to protect against signal interception. Comex TEMPEST computers meet specific security standards, such as RÖS U1 and Tempest Level A, and are used in security-sensitive environments, such as defense and government agencies, where data at the highest security levels is handled.

What's meant by a standalone computer?

An independent computer is one that is not connected to external networks, making it fully isolated and therefore secure for information management. Comex offers several independent, TEMPEST-protected computers that provide users with full control over data transmission. You can block all USB devices or permit specific ones for secure data transfer. By investing in independent computers, organizations enhance IT security and protect confidential information against both eavesdropping and intrusion.

What does the Protective Security Act require?

The Protective Security Act requires that sensitive information be protected from unauthorized access and signal interception. Comex TEMPEST-protected computers are certified for handling information classified up to Top Secret and meet the requirements of the Protective Security Act. Comex TEMPEST computers enhance IT security for organizations that need the highest security standards, making them ideal for operations where compliance with top-tier IT security is essential.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

What is a RÖS-protected computer?

A ROS-protected computer is designed to minimize the risk of eavesdropping by preventing electromagnetic signal emissions. This ensures that sensitive information processed on the computer cannot be intercepted by unauthorized persons through technical signals intelligence. These computers are used in environments where the highest security is essential.

Why are RÖS-protected computers needed?

In environments where sensitive information is handled, ordinary computers can pose a security risk, as they can emit electromagnetic signals that can potentially be used to recreate information. RÖS-protected computers are intended to eliminate this risk by limiting signal emissions. This type of equipment is primarily used when handling security-classified information, where the requirements for protection against signal interception are regulated in, among other things, the Security Protection Act and associated regulations.

What standards do your computers meet?

Our RÖS-protected computers meet the requirements of RÖS U1 and TEMPEST Level A. This means that they are tested and approved for use in environments with very high requirements for protection against revealing signals. These standards apply to equipment used to handle security-classified information up to and including the Secret level, in accordance with applicable regulations and regulations.
All products are tested and accredited by third-party bodies appointed by the Armed Forces.

Which businesses use RÖS computers?

RÖS-protected computers are primarily used by organizations that handle classified information. This includes the Swedish Armed Forces, other actors within the total defense system, government agencies, and companies with connections to the defense industry.

How does a RÖS-protected computer differ from a regular computer?

A RÖS-protected computer differs from a regular computer in that it is designed to minimize the risk that information-carrying signals can be intercepted and interpreted in plain text. It is equipped with protection against signal interception and meets requirements according to established RÖS levels. In addition, RÖS computers often have specific interfaces and connections adapted for use in military or other security-critical environments.
