lisäsuojaus

Lisäsuojaus is a Finnish term meaning "additional protection" and refers to measures added to an existing layer of protection to reduce risk, increase reliability, or extend service life. It can be applied in many domains, including physical safety, information technology, product design, and environmental safety.

In physical safety and engineering, lisäsuojaus denotes supplementary protective features such as protective enclosures, shielding, reinforced materials, insulation, or secondary containment that complement standard safeguards. In information security, lisäsuojaus means extra measures beyond baseline controls, such as two-factor authentication, encryption, redundancy, backup strategies, and continuous monitoring, implemented to lower the likelihood or impact of incidents.

In product and service contexts, lisäsuojaus can include extended warranties, service contracts, or enhanced protection plans that add value for customers by covering additional risks. In logistics and transport, it can involve additional protective packaging or stabilizing features to prevent damage during handling and shipment.

Key principles for implementing lisäsuojaus include risk assessment, cost-benefit analysis, and a layered defense approach—the idea that multiple independent safeguards improve overall protection. However, adding protection also brings additional costs, complexity, and the potential for a false sense of security if not properly integrated with existing measures.

The term emphasizes protective strategies that complement but do not replace core safety, security, or reliability requirements, and is commonly used in safety standards, risk management discussions, and product documentation.
