Our Services
Strengthen Your OT Security
Practical cybersecurity services designed to reduce operational risk, improve OT asset visibility, and protect production without unnecessary disruption.
Risk Assessments
Structured evaluation of threats, vulnerabilities and their potential impact on your production processes, resulting in a prioritised list of risks and mitigating measures.
OT Asset Discovery
Identification and inventory of the controllers, sensors, HMIs and industrial endpoints present on your network, including firmware versions and communication behaviour.
Network Discovery & Mapping
Analysis of your industrial network to document topology, protocols, data flows and every connection to corporate or external systems.
OT Penetration Testing
Controlled security testing of your OT environment to identify exploitable weaknesses without unnecessarily disrupting operations. Assessments are carefully scoped and scheduled around maintenance windows, or performed on new systems before deployment.
Security Architecture & Design
Design of secure OT architectures for new plants and modernisation projects, covering zones and conduits, secure remote access and defence-in-depth principles in alignment with ISA/IEC 62443.
Network Segmentation Strategy
Separation of production networks into zones with controlled transitions, limiting how far an incident can spread between IT and OT and between production cells.
Firewall & Remote Access Review
Review of firewall rule sets, VPNs and supplier remote-access paths to surface overly permissive rules, unused accounts and undocumented connections.
Security Hardening
Reduction of the attack surface on OT devices, servers and workstations through configuration, service and account hardening based on recognised baselines.
IEC 62443 Gap Assessment
Comparison of your current organisational and technical measures against the requirements of ISA/IEC 62443, with a documented gap list and a roadmap to close it.
Incident Response Readiness
Preparation for security incidents in OT: roles, escalation paths, logging, backup and recovery procedures, validated through practical exercises.
Aligned with ISA/IEC 62443
Our approach follows the ISA/IEC 62443 framework to deliver secure architecture, segmentation, and practical implementation guidance tailored to your environment.
Operational Risk
What is at stake
Cybersecurity weaknesses in production environments can quickly turn into operational, financial and business-critical problems.
01
Challenges we solve
Many production environments grow over years. Visibility gaps, outdated systems and unclear processes create unnecessary risk.
Unknown or undocumented OT assets
Weak separation between IT and OT
Supplier and remote access that is hard to control
Legacy systems that cannot easily be patched
No clear view of the most critical risks
02
What needs protecting
A cyber incident in OT can affect far more than just data.
Production availability
Machines and control systems
Product quality
Delivery dates and customer commitments
Employee safety
Intellectual property
Customer trust
03
The consequences of neglecting OT security
Undetected weaknesses can turn a small incident into a large problem very quickly.
Production downtime
Delayed deliveries
Loss of revenue
Expensive emergency recovery
Ransomware spreading from IT into OT
Unmet customer or supplier requirements
Growing pressure from regulations and audits
OT security does not make your production more complicated.
It prevents avoidable interruptions and protects what keeps your business running.
Our Process
What to Expect
A clear and practical approach that keeps production in focus and delivers results you can act on.
01
Initial Discussion
We start by understanding your production environment, current concerns, business priorities and any known security issues. This helps us focus on the areas that matter most from the beginning.
02
On Site or Remote Assessment
We review the relevant systems, network architecture, remote access paths, assets and operational processes. The assessment is scoped to avoid unnecessary disruption to production.
03
Findings & Priorities
You receive a clear overview of identified weaknesses, their potential impact and the actions we recommend. Findings are prioritised so you know what should be addressed first and what can wait.
04
Implementation Support
Where required, we help turn recommendations into practical improvements, from segmentation and hardening to access control and security architecture. The goal is measurable risk reduction without unnecessary complexity.
Your operations stay in focus.
We minimize disruption and deliver practical improvements that strengthen your OT security.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will an OT security assessment disrupt production?
Usually not. Assessments are planned around your operational requirements and can be performed using passive methods, maintenance windows, remote sessions or controlled testing. Any activity that could affect production is discussed and agreed in advance.
Do we need to stop machines or production lines during an assessment?
In most cases, no. Many activities can be carried out while systems remain in operation. If active testing is required, it is carefully scoped and scheduled for an appropriate maintenance window or performed on systems that are not yet in production.
Can you work with older PLCs and legacy systems?
Yes. Legacy systems are common in OT environments and often cannot be patched or replaced easily. We focus on practical compensating measures such as segmentation, access control, monitoring, hardening and reducing unnecessary exposure.
Do we need a dedicated OT security team?
No. Many smaller manufacturers do not have one. We can work with your existing IT team, automation engineers, maintenance personnel, external IT provider or system integrator and provide the OT security expertise that may be missing internally.
Can you work together with our existing IT service provider or automation partner?
Yes. We frequently work alongside existing providers. Our role can be limited to assessment and recommendations, or we can support implementation together with your current IT, automation or engineering partners.
What do we receive after an assessment?
You receive a clear overview of identified weaknesses, their potential operational impact and recommended measures. Findings are prioritised so you can distinguish between urgent issues, medium term improvements and lower priority items.
Do you also implement the recommended security measures?
Yes. Depending on the project, we can support implementation of network segmentation, firewall rules, secure remote access, system hardening, security architecture and other technical measures identified during the assessment.
How does ISA/IEC 62443 apply to a smaller manufacturer?
You do not need to implement the entire standard at once. We use the relevant principles of ISA/IEC 62443 to structure risk assessments, segmentation, secure architecture and technical controls in a way that is proportionate to your environment and resources.
Can you assess a new machine or production system before it is installed?
Yes. Reviewing systems before deployment is often the best time to address security issues because changes are easier and less expensive. We can review architecture, remote access, network interfaces, system hardening and security requirements before commissioning.
Do you perform OT penetration testing?
Yes, where it is appropriate. OT penetration testing is more carefully scoped than traditional IT testing because availability and safety must come first. Testing can be performed during maintenance windows, on isolated systems or on new systems before deployment.
How long does an OT security assessment take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the environment. A focused assessment of a single production area may take only a few days, while larger sites or multiple systems require more time. The scope and expected effort are defined before the project begins.
Where should we start if we do not know our current OT security level?
Start with a focused risk and visibility assessment. The goal is to understand what is connected, identify the most important weaknesses and establish a prioritised improvement plan before investing in larger security measures.
