Identity as Perimeter
NPU rejects legacy perimeter defense models. We utilize a Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) architecture where access is granted based on verified identity, not network location.
The Dark Mesh
All NPU-managed infrastructure is deployed as "Dark Nodes." Assets do not possess public IP addresses and are invisible to terrestrial internet scanning.
No NPU-managed asset maintains a publicly routable address. All communication occurs through encrypted, authenticated tunnels.
Assets communicate via a private mesh network with dynamic routing, eliminating single points of failure and predictable traffic patterns.
For high-sovereignty clients, we offer Starlink LEO satellite connectivity, providing terrestrial independence from nation-state internet infrastructure.
Just-In-Time Access
NPU engineers hold Zero Standing Privilege. Administrative access is ephemeral, task-specific, and automatically revoked upon completion.
All access requests require multi-party approval through our Quorum Lock system. Emergency access ("Break Glass") triggers immediate executive notification and post-incident review.
Immutable Audit Trail
All operational actions are logged to a Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) vault, providing forensic non-repudiation.
- Cryptographic integrity verification on all log entries
- 7-year retention with immutable storage
- Real-time anomaly detection and alerting
- Client access to full audit exports on demand
Zero Drift Enforcement
NPU enforces immutable infrastructure. Manual changes to production environments are detected and automatically remediated by the Engine within 60 minutes.
Incident Response
NPU maintains a 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) with defined response procedures:
- P1 Critical15-minute response, immediate executive escalation
- P2 High1-hour response, incident commander assigned
- P3 Medium4-hour response, standard investigation
- P4 LowNext business day, scheduled review
