Multiple secure environments are established within a system on a chip (SoC) by defining a first secure region within a non-volatile memory in the SoC with a first set of parameters written into a predefined parameter region of the non-volatile memory. A second secure region within the non-volatile memory may be defined at a later time by a second set of parameters written into another predefined parameter region of the non-volatile memory. A security module is initialized each time the SoC is powered on by transferring the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters from the parameter region to the security module in a manner that does not expose the first set of parameters or the second set of parameters to a program being executed by the processor. The multiple secure regions of the SoC are enforced by the security module according to the parameter data.
