The problem

What makes it hard

An open floor with high staff density. No classified information — the value lies in real time and in positions, and it decays in minutes. The adversary is more likely an insider or a neighbouring tenant in the same office building than a state actor with a van.

Appropriate level: TEMPEST Level B / RÖS U2, if emission protection is the right investment at all.

How it is built

The red/black workstation

Two networks on one desk, with the separation physical rather than logical.
