// 01 · NIS2

NIS2 has reached the plant floor.

The NIS2 directive extends cybersecurity obligations to many industrial sectors and puts the responsibility on management. For anyone running OT, the practical question is simple: can you show what is on the network, how it is separated and who has access to it?

Inventory, segmentation and control of remote access are the most direct starting point for verifiable progress.

  • [ ]Up-to-date inventory of OT assets and flows
  • [ ]Defined zones and controlled IT/OT traffic
  • [ ]Vendor access with identity, approval and logging
  • [ ]Detection of changes and incidents on the industrial network
  • [ ]Prioritised action plan and evidence for management

// 02 · Services

Three offers, fixed scope.

For companies that need an independent senior view without committing to a long transformation project. Each offer can be run on its own or in sequence.

OF-01ASSESS

OT network assessment

inventory · Purdue model · risks

An accurate picture of the industrial network as it stands, with risks ranked by operational impact.

  • Inventory of assets, flows and critical dependencies
  • Mapping to the Purdue model and the IT/OT boundary
  • Redundancy, single points of failure and vendor access
  • Risk register prioritised by impact, urgency and effort

output > current-state diagram + risk register

OF-02SEGMENT

Segmentation and secure remote access

zones and conduits · ZTNA · IEC 62443

Zone and conduit design, and vendor remote access without open ports or shared VPNs.

  • Zones and conduits aligned with IEC 62443
  • Rules between IT, the industrial DMZ and production cells
  • Remote access with ZTNA, jump hosts and session recording
  • Phased migration plan, with no unplanned downtime

output > target architecture + migration plan

OF-03OBSERVE

Visibility and monitoring

baseline · detection · logging

Know what is happening on the OT network, with alerts your team can actually act on.

  • Capture points (SPAN/TAP) and traffic baseline
  • Selection of OT monitoring tools, without vendor bias
  • Centralised logging and change detection
  • Simple runbooks for the alerts that matter

output > visibility design + runbooks

// 03 · Deliverables

What we deliver.

Documents to decide with and to execute from: a report management can read in ten minutes and diagrams the technical team can use the next day. Illustrative examples with fictitious data.

// 04 · Process

How we work.

Designed to fit alongside existing internal teams, integrators or MSPs, without duplicating work or creating artificial dependency.

01

Scoping

A short conversation about sites, stack, stakeholders and goals. A proposal with fixed scope and timeline.

02

Technical discovery

Documentation, remote sessions, a site visit and configuration review, always read-only.

03

Independent analysis

Risks organised by severity, operational impact and mitigation priority.

04

Delivery

Report, diagrams, debrief and a backlog for your internal team or partner to implement.

Confidentiality. Data and configurations are handled only for the agreed purpose, under NDA when needed. No standing access remains once the work is done.
