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.
The next generation of resilient facilities will document security the way mature projects document fire, structure, energy and life safety: early, measurable and auditable.
Designed for quotation by physical security professionals, facility owners, insurers, design teams and standards advocates.
Risk-triggered security requirements for high-consequence buildings and infrastructure.
Adapt defense-grade planning discipline to civilian critical infrastructure without overbuilding.
Bring EMI, EMP, RF exposure and communications resilience into facility design.
Evaluate assemblies, interfaces, penetrations and continuity paths as systems.
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.
Physical, ballistic, forced-entry, blast, RF, EMI, EMP and continuity risks are stated before design decisions are locked.
Performance targets are written as testable requirements, not vague preferences or vendor claims.
Walls, doors, glazing, penetrations, conduits, equipment rooms and site approaches are evaluated as connected systems.
The owner, insurer and security consultant can point to the logic behind the protection level selected.
The latest Certanet cluster focuses on industrial consequence, chemical tank events, high-consequence facility certification and common-sense protective design.
Texas now requires a security review before students occupy new, acquired or substantially renovated school buildings. The rule’s door and glass language still needs measurable criteria.
The proposed Part 36 rewrite removes default construction clauses, so security requirements must be written into each solicitation. Comments close October 19, 2026.
FERC approved CIP-014-4 with a 36-month assessment cycle and a 1,500-foot proximity rule, but no minimum protection level. The specification now decides performance.
Why chemical storage, industrial siting and occupied-building protection need to be treated as built-environment certification issues, not only process-safety issues.
Occupied spaces near high-volume industrial tanks need threat-informed siting, protected egress and defensible envelope criteria.
Large evacuation zones around chemical tanks show why industrial standoff should be measured, documented and periodically revalidated.
Industrial consequence planning should integrate blast, debris, caustic release, fire, access and continuity instead of treating each hazard separately.
Control rooms, operations centers and equipment rooms should be treated as life-safety and continuity assets in high-consequence facilities.
Underwriters and risk engineers are likely to demand more documentation of industrial hardening before building codes fully catch up.
