Assurance for manufacturing and industrial OT
Securing production without disrupting it.
Operational technology was built for safety and uptime, not today's threats. We assess OT security governance, industrial networks and ICS/SCADA risk using a safe, non-intrusive methodology — strengthening security without putting production or safety at risk.
Business context
Manufacturers run converged IT and OT estates where a security failure can halt production or affect safety. Assurance here must respect operational constraints: we work with your OT and safety teams and never treat intrusive testing of live industrial systems as routine.
Major cyber & governance challenges
What the sector is up against.
Flat IT/OT networks
Poor segmentation lets threats cross from IT into production systems.
Unmanaged OT assets
Incomplete asset inventories hide exposure in ICS/SCADA environments.
Legacy & unpatchable systems
Long-lived industrial systems often cannot be patched and have weak access controls.
Remote & vendor access
Integrator and remote access to OT is a common, under-governed risk.
Continuity of production
Disruption has direct operational and financial impact.
Relevant regulatory landscape
What may apply — and to whom.
IEC 62443 series
Details →The reference standard for industrial automation & control-system security.
NIST SP 800-82
US guidance for OT/ICS security (reference).
ISO/IEC 27001 · ISO 22301
Details →Security and continuity management baselines.
Critical-infrastructure rules
Details →Where you are a designated operator (jurisdiction-specific).
Applicability is organisation-specific. This is general information, not a legal determination — we confirm what applies to you during scoping. See the Framework Library for sources and classifications.
