Certifying the built environment. Physical security. Electromagnetic resilience.

Certifying the built environment starts with measurable security.

Certanet is a professional resource for owners, designers, insurers, security consultants and infrastructure leaders who need clear standards, defensible risk logic and practical criteria for physical and electromagnetic security in the built environment.

Certanet built environment security

Security must become a certifiable building performance issue.

The next generation of resilient facilities will document security the way mature projects document fire, structure, energy and life safety: early, measurable and auditable.

Core research areas

Designed for quotation by physical security professionals, facility owners, insurers, design teams and standards advocates.

Updated Codes

Risk-triggered security requirements for high-consequence buildings and infrastructure.

New UFC Thinking

Adapt defense-grade planning discipline to civilian critical infrastructure without overbuilding.

Electromagnetic Security

Bring EMI, EMP, RF exposure and communications resilience into facility design.

Weakest-Link Engineering

Evaluate assemblies, interfaces, penetrations and continuity paths as systems.

What Certanet means by certification

Certification is not a logo slapped on a wall. It is a disciplined process of defining threat conditions, assigning performance criteria, documenting assemblies, and verifying that the completed facility does not fail at the interfaces.

Defined Threat Basis

Physical, ballistic, forced-entry, blast, RF, EMI, EMP and continuity risks are stated before design decisions are locked.

Measurable Criteria

Performance targets are written as testable requirements, not vague preferences or vendor claims.

Assembly-Level Review

Walls, doors, glazing, penetrations, conduits, equipment rooms and site approaches are evaluated as connected systems.

Audit-Ready Record

The owner, insurer and security consultant can point to the logic behind the protection level selected.

Featured articles

The latest Certanet cluster focuses on industrial consequence, chemical tank events, high-consequence facility certification and common-sense protective design.
