Building the future of secure environments – Parmaco and Millog unveil SAFECEL

At Parmaco, we see firsthand how the changing security environment is driving new requirements for built infrastructure. Beyond traditional physical protection, organisations must increasingly address less visible risks—such as electromagnetic emissions that can expose sensitive information.

Together with Millog, we have developed SAFECEL to respond to this shift. By combining Parmaco’s expertise in modular, high-performance construction with Millog’s deep knowledge of emanation security, SAFECEL provides a flexible, scalable way to create TEMPEST/IASG/SDIP-compliant secure facilities.

This collaboration reflects our commitment to delivering advanced protective solutions that meet the evolving needs of authorities, defence organisations, and critical industries.

New SAFECEL secure room prevents critical information from falling into the wrong hands

Millog Oy and Parmaco Oy have developed a next-generation TEMPEST-compliant secure room that blocks intelligence gathering via electromagnetic emanations. It enables the safe handling of classified information, including during meetings.

All information systems emit electromagnetic radiation (electrical emanations), exposing them to potential surveillance and interference. Emanation shielding suppresses these signals so effectively that it is impossible for external actors to exploit them.

The SAFECEL solution combines Millog’s deep expertise in emanation protection with Parmaco’s advanced modular construction capabilities, delivering a flexible, ready-to-use secure room.

The SAFECEL facilities are constructed using prefabricated modular elements supplied by Parmaco. Their structure incorporates Parmaco’s patented Fixcel steel cell, as well as a unique electrically conductive adhesive and sealing compound. If required, the elements can incorporate intrusion protection alongside emanation shielding, which cuts costs as physical security and TEMPEST protection have traditionally been built separately.

The SAFECEL facilities meet EU and NATO TEMPEST standards, allowing classified electronic information to be handled without the need for specially shielded devices. Millog is responsible for construction and maintenance. The service is delivered on a fully confidential basis, ensuring clients receive a tailored solution from start to finish. The solution is ideally suited to public authorities, as well as defence and security organisations and companies handling critical data.

The SAFECEL marks a breakthrough innovation for Millog, built on decades of experience and a deep understanding of the defence and security sector.

Managing the risks of compromising emanations and electronic surveillance is at the core of Millog’s expertise, and our experts have played a key role in the development of SAFECEL. Parmaco is a reliable and natural partner for us, as its expertise in construction complements our own, says Toni Piispa, Vice President, Authorities and Industry Business Unit, Millog Oy.

Parmaco Oy is a Finnish company that designs, manufactures, and leases modular spaces. Its products represent dynamic architecture: factory-built modules can be deployed on site within weeks and easily expanded, reduced, relocated, or repurposed.

Parmaco’s protective solutions are widely used by both businesses and public authorities. They provide protection against intrusion, fire, explosions, weapon impacts, and signals intelligence. Our collaboration with Millog on SAFECEL directly addresses the growing demand for protective infrastructure. Together, we provide unparalleled expertise in secure construction, concludes Tomi Vittaniemi, Chief Commercial Officer of the Parmaco Group.
