The one or each second compartment is associated with at least one service or process supported by the said system. The trusted computing platform is loaded with a predetermined security policy including one or more security rules for controlling the operation of each of the compartments such that the security rules relating to the one or each first compartment is loaded onto the trusted computing platform when the system is initialized.
