Identify vulnerabilities, strengthen OT architecture, and reduce cyber risk across industrial and operational environments.
OT environments require a different security approach from traditional IT. Production availability, legacy technologies, proprietary protocols, safety requirements, and long equipment lifecycles must all be considered before conducting security assessments. Our methodology combines safe technical assessment, architecture analysis, configuration review, vulnerability identification, and security-control validation to provide a holistic view of the OT security posture.

Talk to an OT Security ExpertAn OT Security Assessment evaluates the cybersecurity posture of systems responsible for physical and industrial operations. It identifies vulnerabilities, architecture weaknesses, configuration issues, security-control gaps, and potential attack paths that could affect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, or safety of operational environments.
OT assessments place greater emphasis on operational availability, process safety, legacy systems, industrial protocols, equipment lifecycle, and production impact. Testing techniques that may be acceptable in traditional IT environments may create unacceptable risks in OT and are therefore carefully controlled.
The assessment is designed to minimize operational risk. Activities are planned according to agreed rules of engagement, and intrusive testing is avoided on sensitive production systems unless specifically authorized and determined to be safe.
Depending on the environment and agreed scope, assessments can cover SCADA systems, DCS environments, PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, engineering workstations, historians, OT servers, industrial network devices, firewalls, IIoT devices, remote-access systems, and supporting security technologies.
Where technically and operationally appropriate, vulnerability assessment techniques may be used. The exact approach depends on asset sensitivity, vendor restrictions, operational requirements, and customer approval. Passive or non-intrusive techniques may be preferred for highly sensitive systems.
Yes. The architecture review can assess IT/OT trust boundaries, industrial DMZs, firewall rules, remote access, vendor connectivity, network segmentation, and communication flows that could provide potential pathways into critical OT environments.
Yes. Where relevant, findings and attack scenarios can be mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for ICS tactics and techniques, helping security teams understand the relationship between identified weaknesses and known adversary behaviors.
Yes. Each significant finding includes practical remediation guidance. A prioritized remediation roadmap is also provided to help organizations determine which security improvements should be addressed immediately, in the short term, and as part of longer-term OT security initiatives.
Yes. The assessment can evaluate whether deployed security technologies are appropriately positioned, configured, integrated, and providing sufficient visibility across the OT environment. This can include OT firewalls, IDS/NDR, SIEM, endpoint security, remote-access solutions, and other monitoring or protection technologies.
Depending on customer requirements, the assessment methodology and recommendations can be aligned with recognized OT cybersecurity practices and frameworks such as IEC 62443, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, NIST SP 800-82, MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and relevant vendor security guidance.
