Secure compliance, Empower resilience

Trust-Buster helps you navigate evolving legal cyber risks, ensuring compliance with NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act. Stay ahead of the curve with future-proof solutions designed for European sovereignty and critical infrastructure security.

The opportunity is simple: detect which devices are present, identify associated users, validate their identity and authorized actions, and act locally: trigger an alert, cut a power supply.

Depending on your estate, the same access-control logic extends to a screen, a keyboard, a wired or radio link.

Trust-Buster is deployed and operated on the field as a complementary access control system for your critical equipment.

Trust-Buster for Compliance and Cybersecurity

Why you need it

Because your existing installed base is an exposure surface. Industrial and connected equipment in service was rarely designed with strong identity. It is built to last ten or twenty years. You do not replace it — you need a trust layer that wraps around it without modifying it.

Because network dependence is a vulnerability. Security that relies on the cloud collapses when the link goes down. On a critical site or in operations, you cannot assume a permanent connection. The decision must be made locally, in milliseconds, whether the network is available or not.

Because presence does not prove identity. Being there, or claiming to be there, is not enough to authorize a sensitive action. You need proof — and certainty that this proof matches an activity that was actually planned.

Because physical bypass is the blind spot. Unplugging a device, rewiring it directly, resetting equipment, or inserting a power strip: most systems see nothing. You need a device that treats physical access as a threat in its own right.

Because compliance demands it. NIS2 and IEC 62443 require control, traceability, and incident evidence as close to the field as possible. A signed audit log is no longer optional.

Because sovereignty is a security criterion. For critical infrastructure or defense missions, depending on a non-European vendor or cloud is itself a risk.

Field and business constraints

It must work without a network.” The Cube makes decisions locally. Cut off from the world, it continues to authorize, alert, and block according to the rules it has been given. Connectivity returning is only a synchronization event, never a condition.

We cannot touch the existing equipment.” The Cube is non-intrusive. It requires no changes to existing machines: it observes, recognizes, and brings trust around them.

Our data must not leave the site.” Everything is processed locally. Nothing passes through a third-party cloud. Data sovereignty is structural, not a contractual promise.

We need evidence for audit.” Every authorization, every denial, every incident is time-stamped, justified, and signed. You get a forensic log that your supervision can use directly.

The environment is hostile.” The Cube shares a single technological core, adapted to the field: an interactive version for control rooms today, with a DIN-rail unit and a sealed hardened enclosure to come.

Our ubiquitous solution

The Cube is a fixed appliance with communications and sensors, installed by room, building, or cabinet. It continuously perceives its wireless environment and derives three certainties before authorizing anything.

Detection. It knows which equipment and which enrolled people are actually nearby, based on the presence of their enlisted devices. It alerts when unauthorized devices are in the same perimeter.

Identity. Presence is not enough. The Cube requires a strong identity proof, anchored in hardware and impossible to spoof with a simple imitation, with human approval depending the context.

Validation. The right person is not enough either. The Cube checks that this action — this equipment, in this place, at this time — is actually listed in the planned activity schedule. The right person, the planned equipment, at the planned time: otherwise, denied.

Action. The effector cuts the equipment's power supply: authorize or block at the outlet, with state verification and logging. It extends to other enforcement points according your needs.

And because the real threat is often physical, the Cube detects bypass attempts: equipment unplugged, moved, rewired directly, or reset. It does not merely note an absence — it verifies that the power feeding your equipment still passes through the authorized points. At the slightest deviation, it locks the zone, triggers the alarm, logs the incident, and can restore the installation to compliance on its own.

Navigating Regulatory Challenges with Ops-Devices Systems

Understanding the Regulatory Context

NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) make asset inventory, OT risk management and incident evidence mandatory, with heavy penalties. Trust-Buster, the system built on the Ops-Devices platform, turns these obligations into an operated, on-site capability: inventory, access control and a signed audit trail, managed for you. You stay focused on operations and your compliance evidence writes itself.

Ops-Devices: trust, anchored in hardware

Our platform empowers Trust-Buster operations, relying on a physical appliance, the Cube, as a communications & sensors gateway that secures any equipment even if it has never been designed for authentication. It recognizes what and who is actually present, only authorizes actions from an approved set of rules, and acts on its own — on site, even when disconnected from any network. Any attempt at physical bypass is detected, the perimeter locks down, and the incident is logged.

Designed and developed in Europe. Operational sovereignty: no data leaves your site, no third-party cloud, no remote kill-switch, full air-gap operation. Our supply chain is publicly documented.

Who Trust-Buster is for

For industrial operators and critical infrastructure. Factories, energy, water, transport, sites subject to NIS2 and IEC 62443. You operate equipment that was not designed with cybersecurity in mind and cannot simply be replaced. Your supervision teams (SOC) need to extend their visibility and control all the way to the physical boundary — where software tools stop.

For field operators and defense environments. Sites without reliable connectivity, by constraint or by doctrine. You need a trust chain and an action capability that work autonomously, without relying on the cloud, and whose sovereignty is non-negotiable.

More broadly, for anyone who must control “who can activate or use which equipment, where, and when” — and know, without ambiguity, when someone attempts to bypass it.

Our key assets

Design strengths

The combination that, to our knowledge, no other European player brings together. Taken individually, each of our ingredients exists elsewhere. Our difference is their intersection: contactless detection, hardware-rooted identity, local decision-making, autonomous blocking, network-off operation, European sovereignty, and purpose-built hardware formats. This coherent and inseparable set is what creates our value.

A trust anchored in hardware. Identity is based on a secure component certified Common Criteria EAL5+ - a certification carried by the component itself. This is not software security that can be bypassed by erasing memory.

Real autonomy. No cloud, no dependency, no remote point of failure. The Cube is built for sites where only what is physically present can be relied on.

Sovereign by design. Conceived and developed in Europe, with a publicly documented supply chain - limits included. A direct response to the needs of critical infrastructure and defense.

Detection is not enough — we respond. Where many stop at alerting, the Cube chains detection, response, remediation, and evidence. The perimeter protects itself.

An honest security posture. We do not promise the impossible. Physical access remains physical access. What we guarantee is stronger than a slogan: nothing goes unnoticed. Every attempt is detected, the perimeter locks down, and the incident is logged. That honesty is what builds trust with a security manager.

Proof demo on request

We will not describe our security to you. We will let you try to break it.

During a demonstration, you take the intruder's seat, facing equipment protected by its controlled outlet. With no predefined script and no prior explanation, you try whatever you want: press the outlet's button, unplug it, plug it into another source, rewire the equipment directly, reset the unit, present yourself without a valid identity, or request unplanned access.

At each attempt the system reacts before your eyes — cut-off, alert, zone lockdown — then details what it detected. You leave with a signed audit log of your own attempts.

That is the most convincing demonstration we know for security: not an assertion, but an invitation to prove it wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions


Zero Trust usually stopped at the network. We’re taking it all the way to the power outlet.

Zero Trust — “never trust, always verify” — is the framework every cybersecurity buyer is expected to implement. But it stops at the logical layer: in front of an electrical cabinet, a 2009 PLC, or a wall socket, the paradigm no longer existed.

Our choice is to bridge this gap: we never rely on trust declared on packaging or in a datasheet. Our equipment is built to continuously monitor both users and hardware, providing proof of proper operation or detecting actions that would breach this trust—whether by mistake or design.


By design rather than by consulting. The architecture follows IEC 62443-4-2 design principles (design target SL-C 2 - third-party evaluation not yet performed, and we say so), and every authorization, denial and incident produces a signed, time-stamped record, exportable to your SIEM. The signed audit log your NIS2 or CRA auditor will ask for is generated automatically, on site.


Trust-Buster deploys an operated security capability built on sovereign hardware (the Ops-Devices platform). It includes the hardware (the Cube and its cutoff satellites) on your site, the support to enroll your equipment and people, to manage access policies signed, audit-ready evidences.


Trust-Buster addresses critical situations: dangerous equipment, sensitive perimeters, binding compliance obligations, traceability you can defend in front of an auditor.


Trust-Buster is a services business specializing in cybersecurity and compliance solutions. The company is based in Sophia-Antipolis, France.
