If so, this sounds like a great candidate for using systemd's
sandboxing functionality. Things like  CapabilityBoundingSet=,
PrivateTmp=, ProtectSystem=, ProtectHome=, ProtectKernelTunables=,
ProtectKernelModules=, ProtectControlGroup=, SystemCallFilter=,
SystemCallArchitectures=, RestrictAddressFamilies=,
RestrictNamespaces=, RestrictRealtime=, ...

See systemd.exec(5) for more information.
