Industrial Strength Security

OT Cyber Risk Assessment & Compliance

Are you confident your PLCs, DCSs, and SCADA systems can withstand a modern cyberattack? In the industrial world, a breach doesn’t just mean data loss—it means operational shutdown, safety hazards, and regulatory fines. We specialise in protecting the systems that keep the lights on and the lines running.

The OT Security Risk

Why Your Factory Floor is the New Target

Unlike IT security, OT (Operational Technology) risks directly impact the physical world. Attackers target aged, unpatched industrial control systems (ICS) to cause maximum disruption.

SCADA Platform Development & Configuration

We design the entire system architecture, ensuring scalability, redundancy, and security.

Safety Risk

Compromising PLCs can lead to equipment damage and personnel injury.

Availability Risk

Ransomware or malware causes immediate, costly production downtime.

Compliance Risk

Failure to adhere to standards like NERC CIP or IEC 62443 results in massive penalties.

Stop reacting to threats. Start predicting them. Your operations are too critical for guesswork.

Our OT Risk Assessment & Compliance Service

We provide a specialised, structured methodology designed exclusively for the constraints and complexities of your industrial environment (low-bandwidth, legacy systems, 24/7 operation).

Asset & Zone Discovery (The Foundation)

Action

Full, passive discovery of all OT assets (PLCs, HMIs, Historians, Industrial PCs) without impacting live operations.

Technical Deliverable

Detailed, prioritised asset inventory and IEC 62443 Zone & Conduit architecture diagram.

Vulnerability & Threat Analysis

Action

Identifying configuration weaknesses, unpatched firmware, and default credentials across your control devices.

Field Relevance

Analysing threats based on the MITRE ATT&CK for ICS Framework to model real-world industrial attack scenarios.

Key Deliverable

Comprehensive Vulnerability Report with criticality scoring.

Risk Rating & Prioritization

Action

Calculating the Likelihood and Impact of each identified vulnerability. Impact includes Safety, Financial, and Environmental consequences.

Technical Deliverable

Clear Residual Risk Rating with prioritised, actionable mitigation steps (e.g., Network Segmentation, Patching, Access Control).

Compliance

Achieving & Maintaining Standards

Regulatory compliance is a continuous process, not a one-time event. We use established, recognised frameworks to provide a clear roadmap to adherence and help you secure the necessary documentation for auditors.

Standard / Framework Focus Area Who Needs to Comply?
IEC 62443 Global standard for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) security. All industrial sectors aiming for best-practice security architecture.
NIST CSF (Cybersecurity Framework) High-level guidance for managing cybersecurity risks. U.S. Critical Manufacturing, Water, and Energy sectors.
NERC CIP Mandatory compliance for electric utilities (Bulk Electric System). Power Generation, Transmission, and Reliability entities.
ISO 27001 General information security management system (applied to OT context). Organizations requiring global security certification.

Continuous Compliance & Monitoring

Compliance doesn’t stop after the audit. We integrate OT-specific Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools and network monitoring to provide continuous visibility and early detection of suspicious activity across your control network.
