Frequently Asked Questions

OT systems control physical processes, so safety and availability come first. The assessment relies on passive discovery, configuration and architecture review, and limits active testing to agreed windows or test environments.

The approach is designed to avoid disruption. Methods, timing and exclusions are agreed with your operations and safety teams before any work starts.

Findings can be referenced to IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82 Rev. 3 for operational technology, along with your internal and sector requirements. The criteria are confirmed during scoping.

Product-focused IoT assessments can review device configuration, interfaces and supporting services. Scope is agreed separately for each product.

An asset inventory, architecture review and risk-ranked findings with operational impact for engineering teams, plus an executive summary for leadership.
