Why IoT and OT Security Matters
Modern operational environments rely on smart devices, remote monitoring, and industrial control systems — but most were not designed with cybersecurity in mind. These systems are often:
- Legacy or vendor-managed
- Unpatched or unsupported
- Connected to the internet or IT networks
- Lacking authentication or encryption
From local council water plants to smart lighting, from medical devices to manufacturing sensors — your environment may be more exposed than you think.
What We Offer
✅ IoT & OT Security Assessment
- Asset discovery and network mapping
- Review of protocols (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104, BACnet, etc.)
- Architecture and segmentation analysis (Purdue Model alignment)
- Threat modelling and critical asset identification
- Vulnerability and misconfiguration analysis
✅ Compliance & Governance Alignment
- ACSC OT Security Principles
- IEC 62443 / NIST SP 800-82
- PSPF or ISM guidance
- Policy development and access control recommendations
- Incident response planning for OT scenarios
✅ Secure Remote Access Review
- VPNs, telemetry backhaul, and vendor access pathways
- Audit of jump servers, authentication, and access logging
- Recommendations for segmentation and least privilege access
🧑💼 Who This Is For
- Councils managing smart city infrastructure, SCADA water/traffic systems
- Utilities operating remote telemetry, sensors, and distributed control systems
- Not-for-profits with health tech, assistive devices, or medical IoT
- Manufacturers with PLC-driven automation or robotics
- Organisations undergoing digital transformation of physical operations
🔐 Common Risks We Mitigate
- Default credentials on industrial devices
- Unmonitored wireless or serial-to-IP bridges
- Unpatched firmware in field devices
- No incident response process for physical system compromise
- Remote access from third-party vendors with no logging or MFA
📦 Optional Add-Ons
- Ongoing OT vCISO support
- Policy development for OT-specific controls
- Architecture redesign with segmentation recommendations
- Tabletop exercises (power, water, or control failure simulations)
- Integration with broader GRC or MSS platforms
🎯 What You Can Expect
✔️ Visibility into your connected and unmanaged devices
✔️ Risk-reduction roadmap for operational environments
✔️ Improved resilience for systems that can’t afford downtime
✔️ Better separation between IT and OT networks
✔️ Governance tailored for engineering and operations — not just IT
💬 What Our Clients Say
“The OT security review helped us identify systems that had never been documented — and were exposed to both our corporate network and the internet. Their recommendations were practical and easy to prioritise.”
— IT & Infrastructure Manager, Regional Utility
