A secured enclosure system and a method for configuring a secured enclosure system are disclosed. The secured enclosure system includes at least one processing module for implementing a processing task, a security module in communication with the processing module for providing a trust anchor functionality to the processing module, a secure backplane in communication with the at processing module for monitoring a connection with the processing module, and a security controller module in communication with the secure backplane for providing a root of trust, for serving as a local system controller, and for serving as a key/certificate manager. An enclosure encloses the components of the system and includes a physical security component for detecting an interference with the enclosure.
