Your triple word score is already handled by a dozen different companies doing endpoint security from advanced heuristics at the kernel level like Crowdstrike, or just filenames and hashes like Code42.

A consumer (i.e. workplace for people who don't know better) NAS is usually Linux with a few hard drives attached via a cheerful and brightly coloured web UI - occasionally useful, some way short of secure.
I expect someone sells hardened ultra-secure corporate NAS boxes, but I've never seen any in the wild.

The trouble is, the sort of people who would buy a pre-hardened NAS are also the sort of people who would be suspicious of a pre-built unit. I know for sure I wouldn't trust anything off the shelf, I'd take the base OS and build something around it.
Whoops, my tin-foil hat appears to have slipped.
Bonus points: don't mount the drive directly, instead connect it to a centralised server on the corporate network that scans for threats and mounts a sanitised version of the drive's contents as a network share.
Triple word score: audit everything contained on every drive and everything that is copied on and off.
Sell that for $200 per unit to Fortune 500 companies and paranoid government agencies worldwide... and you'll retire early.
