Industrial Cybersecurity

Understand and reduce the cyber risk in the systems that run your plant

What it is

Industrial Cybersecurity

We assess the security of industrial control systems, SCADA networks, and connected equipment, where a cyber incident can affect safety and production as well as data. Our work covers asset discovery, network architecture review, vulnerability assessment, and a prioritised plan aligned with recognised industrial security frameworks such as IEC 62443 and the NIST cybersecurity framework.

Typical duration
4 to 8 weeks depending on the number of sites and systems

The business problem

Why clients need this

Plants are increasingly connected to corporate networks and the internet, but many operational systems were designed without security in mind and cannot be patched or restarted easily.

  1. 01

    Owners do not have a complete list of what is connected to the plant network.

  2. 02

    Old equipment runs unpatched, and remote access paths are poorly controlled.

  3. 03

    IT security tools and practices do not always suit operational environments.

Our approach

How we deliver it

  1. 1

    Scoping & Safety Planning

    Agreeing with operations which systems are in scope and how to assess them without affecting production or safety.

  2. 2

    Asset & Network Discovery

    Building an inventory of devices, firmware versions, and network connections, using passive methods where possible.

  3. 3

    Risk & Vulnerability Assessment

    Reviewing architecture, segmentation, remote access, and known vulnerabilities, and rating the risks that matter most.

  4. 4

    Roadmap & Support

    A prioritised plan of practical measures, with options that suit the constraints of an operating plant.

Data & AI

How technology strengthens this service

Passive monitoring of network traffic builds a baseline of normal behaviour, so unusual communication between devices can be highlighted for review.

How we use AI across our work

Outcomes

What changes for you

  • A clear picture of what is connected and where the risks are
  • A realistic, prioritised plan that respects operational constraints
  • Evidence to support insurance, customer, and regulatory questions

Who it is for

  • Manufacturers and process plants
  • Utilities and energy operators
  • Water, logistics, and building operators
  • Plant managers and CISOs

FAQs

Common questions

Will an assessment disrupt production?+

We plan the work with your operations team and use passive and read-only methods in live environments, so production is not put at risk.

Do you do penetration testing of control systems?+

Active testing in live plants carries risk. Where it is appropriate, we do it in test or staging environments, or in agreed maintenance windows.

Which standards do you follow?+

We align our work with recognised frameworks such as IEC 62443 and the NIST cybersecurity framework, and adapt it to the applicable requirements for your sector.
