Yacine and Fuad are right to render \"maximum\" with أقصى/ قصوى.
However, I suggest the following version (used by Amnesty International www.amnesty-arabic.org/ctm/ch5_5.htm ) as an amendment to my suggestion
ذات الإجراءات الامنية القصوى

My original suggestion المشددة is also used by Amnesty International by the way:
