OT security is a process, not a product. Our services cover the entire lifecycle: Assess – Plan – Implement – Operate.
NIS2 Readiness & Compliance
The NIS2 Directive affects ~30,000 German companies from October 2024. We guide you through the entire process, from applicability analysis to audit-proof documentation.
- Avoid fines of up to €10 million
- Audit-proof documentation
- Reduce management liability
IEC 62443 Gap Assessment
IEC 62443 is the leading standard for the security of industrial automation systems (IACS). We analyze your systems and create a detailed roadmap to compliance.
- Detailed gap report (50-80 pages)
- Zone and conduit diagrams
- Maturity matrix (Security Level 0-4)
OT Network Segmentation
Flat OT networks are a high risk. We design and plan the implementation of a robust zone model according to IEC 62443 to minimize the attack surface.
- Protection against lateral movement by attackers
- Detailed zone model & firewall ruleset
- Support during implementation
OT MDR & Incident Response
Cyber attacks happen 24/7. Our Managed Detection & Response service monitors your OT networks, alerts on anomalies and supports you in emergency response.
- 24/7 monitoring with ICS-specific detection
- Fast incident response support
- Monthly reports & quarterly reviews
