Industrial Counter-Intelligence & Supply Chain Integrity
Led by a 20-year veteran of high-stakes security and digital forensics, we specialize in protecting the "Physical-to-Digital" bridge. From identifying counterfeit hardware in the supply chain to performing motherboard-level trace analysis, we provide the technical oversight required for NASPO-SA compliance. We don't just audit your vendors; we verify the integrity of every device on your floor.
In the world of high-security printing—where you handle everything from birth certificates to brand protection labels—security isn’t just an IT requirement; it’s a regulatory mandate.
Simplified Security Solutions provides the specialized expertise needed to navigate the ANSI/NASPO-SA-v3.0 standards.
We help manufacturers move beyond basic security by hardening their digital perimeter and auditing their physical workflows. Whether you are aiming for Class I, II, or III certification, we ensure your facility meets the highest levels of risk mitigation.
Our NASPO-Focused Services Include:
Ensure your Class I, II, or III audit readiness.

We recently investigated a series of 'compliant' security units and discovered active ICMP 'phone-home' attempts to foreign domains. When the manufacturer fills UART connections with solder and obfuscates firmware, they aren't just protecting their IP—they might be spying on yours. Learn how to verify your hardware integrity before you plug it into your CDE...

NASPO-SA is an ANSI-accredited standard for organizations that produce high-security documents, labels, and packaging. It proves to your clients that your facility has a 'Military-Grade' chain of custody, preventing the theft, loss, or counterfeiting of sensitive materials during production.
While ISO is broad, NASPO-SA is laser-focused on risk management for high-security products. It specifically audits your physical perimeter, employee vetting processes, and digital waste management (shredding/purging) to ensure that no 'ghost' products or scraps ever leave your facility.
Yes. In 2026, NASPO-SA standards require that any digital system managing the 'Security Life Cycle'—such as design files for secure documents, inventory databases, or shipping logs—must be protected by encryption and MFA. Because NASPO is focused on preventing the unauthorized reproduction of sensitive items, we implement 'Military-Grade' encryption (AES-256) to ensure your digital blueprints never fall into the hands of counterfeiters.
Absolutely. Physical surveillance is a cornerstone of NASPO Requirement 6 (Facility Security). You are required to have continuous video monitoring of all 'Sensitive Areas,' including production floors, secure storage, and loading docks. To pass a Class I or II audit, your system must provide clear, 1080p footage, be protected against tampering, and maintain a minimum of 90 days of recorded history to allow for forensic investigation of any inventory discrepancies.
NASPO requires that every fragment of a secure product is accounted for. This includes digital 'waste' like temporary print files, old database entries, or cached images on a local drive. We help you implement automated purging protocols and secure drive wiping that meets NIST standards, ensuring that no 'digital ghosts' remain on your network for a bad actor to find.
A physical breach is just as costly as a digital one. Ensure your facilities meet NASPO-SA standards with our free perimeter security checklist.
