Production that cannot stop. Technology that cannot be patched.
Industrial environments run on operational technology with long lifecycles and limited patching, connected to business networks that attackers reach first. Customers and governments now push security requirements down the supply chain. We assess against what is required, contain what cannot be fixed, and plan for continuity of production.
At stake
What can go wrong.
- Operational technology reachable from the business network and from vendors’ remote access.
- A customer supplier security review that cannot be answered with evidence.
- Design files and process knowledge accessible to anyone on the network.
- A ransomware event that stops production for days.
- Suppliers and integrators with standing access and no oversight.
What we do
The capabilities applied.
- Third-party risk reviews customer requirements, met and evidenced
- Network segmentation OT contained from the business network
- Secure remote access vendor access governed
- Security monitoring coordination the business network watched
- Business continuity planning production continuity planned and tested
- Ransomware readiness review the scenario that stops the line
Evidence
What you can show.
- Assessment against customer and contractual security requirements with evidence.
- Segmentation and access documentation for OT and business networks.
- Vendor and integrator access register with oversight records.
- Continuity plan for production with exercise results.
- Assurance engagement: customer requirement readiness, OT segmentation and monitoring, supply chain risk review and continuity planning.
- Authority plan for a firm whose engineers can answer the technical questions buyers ask.
- Foundation plan for a specialist manufacturer with deep expertise and little published presence.
