Prepared when it matters most
Trusted Partner for Converged Security & Operational Intelligence in Critical Infrastructure
Critical infrastructure operates across hundreds of distributed locations where permanent staff cannot be present and network connectivity cannot be guaranteed. When millions depend on uninterrupted energy, water, and telecommunications, security cannot wait for network recovery. Primion’s decentralised edge-resilient architecture ensures operations continue regardless of central system status.

Serving Critical Infrastructure for 30+ Years
From distributed sites to decentralised security across critical infrastructure
Complete operational intelligence engineered for critical infrastructure
Critical infrastructure spans hundreds of distributed locations where permanent staff and reliable connectivity cannot be guaranteed. Traditional cloud-dependent architectures fail during outages, precisely when operators need them most. At the same time, NIS2 now covers 18 critical sectors including energy, transport, water management, and digital infrastructure, requiring operators to implement risk management measures and report significant incidents to national authorities. Primion delivers unified operational intelligence across every location, with security that functions when networks fail and compliance evidence generated directly from operations.
Security that functions when networks fail
Primion’s edge-resilient architecture ensures security functions independently at each location: local access controllers retain full decision logic, authorisation continues during WAN outages, and remote sites operate without central dependency. When the network fails, protection does not.
Complete visibility across distributed operations
Primion converges access events, workforce assignments, video surveillance, and environmental data into one unified operational intelligence view, with predefined incident response protocols that activate automatically.
Operations that scale without administrative burden
Primion automates contractor lifecycles from pre-registration to termination, with time-bound access that expires when work completes, and full visibility into who accessed which sites without manual administration.
Compliance built into operations, not added
after the fact
Primion generates structured compliance documentation directly from operations, with European data processing as a standard capability, not an optional add-on.
Designed for how critical infrastructure actually operates
No two critical infrastructure operators face identical challenges. An energy transmission operator managing hundreds of unmanned substations has different security requirements than a water utility coordinating contractor access across treatment sites. A telecommunications operator managing remote tower infrastructure faces different compliance obligations than a district heating provider. Primion is built to support all of them, with one converged platform that adapts to the sector, the site, and the regulatory environment.
Energy and utilities
Autonomous security at unmanned substations, pump stations, and distribution sites. Tiered access zones for high-voltage and control areas. Anomaly detection across perimeter sensors and environmental monitors. Automated contractor access from training verification to termination. Energy is the highest-priority NIS2 sector with the strictest security obligations, reflecting its foundational role in critical infrastructure. Primion’s compliance documentation is generated directly from operations.
Water and wastewater
Coordinated access across distributed treatment and pumping infrastructure with no permanent on-site staff. Offline-capable access control for remote locations. Insider risk detection through duty-status correlation. Time-bound contractor access with full traceability. Real-time operational visibility across every site for emergency response coordination.
Telecommunications and
digital infrastructure
Secure access management for tower sites, data centres, and network exchange points across geographically distributed infrastructure. Multi-factor authentication for sensitive equipment areas. Complete audit trails for supplier and third-party access. European data sovereignty as standard, with no third-country data transfers for operators where that is a compliance requirement.
Customer cases
Capabilities built for the demands of critical infrastructure operations
A security ecosystem that protects distributed infrastructure, not just individual sites.
- Network-independent security: Local access controllers retain full decision logic during WAN outages. Autonomous authorisation at every location eliminates the vulnerability windows that cloud-dependent systems create.
- Unified operational intelligence: Access events, workforce assignments, video, and environmental data converge in one platform. Complete situational awareness across hundreds of locations without manual reconciliation.
- Proactive threat and anomaly detection: Tiered security zones and multi-factor authentication for critical areas. Detect unauthorised access, physical threats, environmental hazards, and duty-status anomalies before escalation.
- Automated contractor lifecycle management: Contractor workflows from training verification to automatic termination. Time-bound access without manual intervention. No lingering credentials, full traceability.
- NIS2, BSI-KritisV, and DORA compliance: Audit evidence generated directly from operations. Tamper-resistant documentation, structured reporting, and European data processing without third-country transfers.
- Integration-first modernisation: Primion integrates with existing access, video, alarm, and operational systems, adding resilience and compliance capability without requiring infrastructure replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Primion support NIS2 and BSI-KritisV compliance?
Primion generates structured compliance documentation directly from operations, including tamper-resistant audit trails, access event logs, and approval records. This means compliance evidence is built in from the start rather than assembled manually before an audit. Primion processes all data within European infrastructure, satisfying data sovereignty requirements without third-country transfers.
Can Primion integrate with existing operational systems at our sites?
Yes. Primion is built for integration-first deployment. It connects with existing access control, video, alarm, and operational systems, adding unified intelligence and compliance capability without requiring infrastructure replacement. This protects existing investments and reduces deployment risk.
Is Primion compliant with European data sovereignty requirements?
Yes. Primion is headquartered in Germany, develops its solutions in-house, and processes data within European infrastructure. For sensitive defence environments where the origin and handling of technology matters, this is an operational guarantee rather than a secondary consideration.
How does Primion detect insider threats and operational anomalies?
Primion correlates access permissions with duty status and workforce assignments. When access patterns do not match authorised assignments, the system flags the anomaly for operator review. This gives security teams earlier visibility into irregular patterns before they escalate into incidents.
