Risk case
Proximity and physical-technical collection against high-sensitivity rooms remains under-controlled relative to cyber. Bring that gap into the same language as principal risks and ISMS maturity.
PASM framework by Marko Tuisk →Proximity Attack Surface Management
Your firewalls cannot stop an intruder who walks through your front door.
Mature infosec programmes still leave a proximity gap: boardrooms, desks, and corridors that digital controls cannot see. PASM closes that gap — ISMS-aligned, Risk Committee–ready, and designed to replace fragmented local sweeps.
For enterprise buyers
Why boards and procurement consolidate proximity risk
Large organisations do not buy one-off gadget visits. They buy a group-wide proximity control that survives Risk Committee, ISMS, and vendor oversight scrutiny.
Efficiency & consolidation
Fragmented local sweeps mean inconsistent quality, weak evidence, and high admin. A centralised programme replaces site-level spend with one methodology and clearer SLAs.
Multi-site TSCM via Partners →Governance & audit evidence
Documented ownership, repeatable controls, and retained evidence packs that Audit and Risk Committees can treat like any other control-effectiveness review.
Risk & programme governance →The Problem
Traditional cyber security fails when someone gets physically close.
Your digital defences stop at the office door. These are the three risks they cannot see.
The Last Foot Cyber Gap
A device called a Rubber Ducky looks like a normal USB flash drive. Plug it into an unattended workstation and it mimics a keyboard, executing malicious commands in under three seconds. Your firewall never sees it. Your endpoint protection never triggers. That is the last foot problem: physical access to hardware bypasses your entire digital security stack.
Invisible Insider Threats
You have no visibility into how people behave in your physical spaces. You cannot see who is lingering near sensitive screens, who left confidential documents on a desk, or how data might be leaving the building through physical means.
Close-Range Information Theft
During board meetings, M&A negotiations, and executive briefings, your most valuable data is exposed to local eavesdropping, acoustic leakage, and visual spying. These are the moments competitors and adversaries target.

Framework
Proximity Attack Surface Management (PASM)
Security is not a linear ladder. You should not have to wait to fix your exposed network switches until your entire staff masters a clean-desk policy. PASM splits close-range threats into three layers. You fix what matters first, where it matters most.
1Foundation Tier
Common Spaces & General Floors
Behavioural & Asset Oversight
Receptions, open-plan hot-desking, shared cafes, and corridors. Better visitor management. Enforced clean-desk rules. No more tailgating. Secure document disposal.
Goal: Reduce risk without buying anything. Just better daily habits.
2Infrastructure Tier
Tech Closets & Network Edges
Technical Edge-Device Vectors
Server racks, patch panels, office printers, smart-building IoT hubs, and unmanaged desks. An unsecured smart thermostat or connected badge reader can give an attacker a direct path into your primary corporate network. 802.1X on every port. Physical locks on Ethernet jacks. USB drop protection. Encrypted print queues.
Goal: Stop someone from walking in, plugging in a device, and owning your network.
3Advanced Tier
Executive Suites & Deal Rooms
Advanced Espionage Counters
Boardrooms, M&A war rooms, legal offices, and executive briefing zones. TSCM bug sweeps. Continuous RF monitoring. Laser-mic defences. Acoustic speech masking.
Goal: Full protection against targeted espionage, state-level threats, and advanced adversaries.
Three Perspectives. One Shared Corporate Risk.
Different roles. Same risk. Here is how it connects.
For the Cyber & IT Leader
Focus
Hardening the Physical-to-Digital Edge
Your Nightmare
An attacker bypasses your entire cloud security stack by walking into a remote branch office and plugging a hardware implant into a wall jack.
The PASM Fix
We turn physical infrastructure into digital network telemetry. By enforcing 802.1X, locking edge devices, and monitoring MAC anomalies, physical access does not become a network compromise.
For the Physical Security & Facilities Manager
Focus
Operational control and audit compliance
Your Nightmare
Spending your limited budget on standard guards and cameras, yet still risking an audit failure on your physical security controls during an upcoming ISO or SOC 2 inspection.
The PASM Fix
We provide a repeatable, quantified framework. You get a clear risk matrix and zone-based evidence logs that prove compliance to auditors using the infrastructure you already have.
For the COO & Business Director
Focus
Protect corporate secrets and safeguard ROI
Your Nightmare
Critical M&A negotiations or proprietary board discussions leaking to competitors, or a localised hardware exploit shutting down operations.
The PASM Fix
We protect what you have built. By deploying targeted tactical sweeps (TSCM) and insider mitigation protocols, we secure your high-value spaces without disrupting daily work.

What makes SAPP Security different.
Cyber-Centric Physical Defence
We do not focus on standard building security like basic CCTV or door locks. We look at your physical spaces purely through the lens of how data can be extracted from them. Every room is a potential data exfiltration point, and we treat it that way.
Fixing What Cyber Cannot Reach
We target the edge-device vulnerabilities and human behaviours that your network monitoring tools are entirely blind to. The USB port under the desk, the unlocked print queue, the open Ethernet jack in the meeting room. If your SOC cannot see it, we cover it.
A Measurable Proximity Framework
We do not run one-off security checks. We treat physical proximity risk as an engineered, measurable attack surface. You get scores, evidence, and a framework that improves quarter after quarter.
Platform
One Command Centre. Two Operational Modes.
Long-term compliance tracking or live tactical feeds during a high-stakes event. One platform, both modes.
