Secure Your Critical OT Systems with Compliance365

Operational Technology (OT) is the backbone of many industries, including manufacturing, utilities, and infrastructure. Unlike traditional IT systems, OT involves the use of both hardware and software to control physical processes, such as industrial control systems in a factory. However, this unique functionality also introduces specific vulnerabilities to cyberattacks.

Cybersecurity breaches on OT systems can have devastating consequences, leading to:

  • Production stoppages and financial losses
  • Safety hazards for workers and the environment
  • Reputational damage and loss of customer trust

Operational Technology (OT) outages can have catastrophic consequences, affecting critical infrastructure and public safety. According to the Ponemon Institute, a single hour of downtime can cost organisations up to $260,000. For larger facilities, Gartner estimates that the cost of downtime can exceed $5 million per day. These outages not only disrupt essential services but also pose significant risks to national security and economic stability.

At Compliance365, we specialise in managing these threats under the framework of the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) legislation. Our services are geared to protect these vital systems, ensure the continuity of your operations, and maintain adherence to industry-specific compliance requirements

OUR OT SERVICE OFFERING INCLUDES:

  • Risk Management Plan - Using the Purdue Model for Control Hierarchy, we conduct comprehensive reviews of your OT environment to identify potential vulnerabilities and risks. This model helps us understand the interplay between business and process control systems, enabling a holistic risk assessment.
  • Security Architecture - We design OT-specific security architectures tailored to the unique needs of your industrial control systems. Our goal is to ensure your systems are hardened, resilient, and capable of defending against and recovering from cyber attacks.
  • Reliability Analysis and FMECA - Our team performs detailed reliability analysis and Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) on your OT systems. This process identifies potential failure modes, assesses their impact on operations, and prioritises actions to mitigate the most critical risks.
  • Implementation Support - During implementation, we provide support to ensure that security measures are correctly applied and effective. Our team is with you every step of the way, ensuring a smooth transition to a more secure OT environment.
  • Compliance Management - We help your organisation meet industry-specific compliance requirements, including those outlined in NIST 800-82. This enhances your security posture and reduces the risk of penalties and reputational damage.

Choose Compliance365 to protect your critical operational systems, maintain service continuity, and safeguard your reputation.
