ICS / OT Security Assessments
A comprehensive, non-disruptive assessment of your SCADA, DCS, and industrial control environments, mapped against NERC CIP and NIST 800-82 frameworks. We identify the vulnerabilities, attack paths, and architectural gaps that put your operations at risk, and deliver a prioritized plan to close them.
How we assess your OT environment
Our assessment methodology is built for operational technology environments where uptime is everything. Every technique is passive, every step is coordinated with your operations team.
Scoping & Asset Inventory
We work with your operations and engineering teams to define assessment boundaries, identify critical assets, and build a complete inventory of SCADA masters, RTUs, PLCs, HMIs, and network infrastructure.
Passive Network Analysis
Using non-disruptive passive monitoring, never active scanning, we capture and analyze OT network traffic to identify devices, communication patterns, protocol usage, and anomalous connections.
Vulnerability Assessment
Identified assets are cross-referenced against known vulnerability databases, firmware versions are checked, and default credentials are cataloged, all without sending a single packet to OT devices.
Gap Analysis vs NERC CIP / NIST
Your OT security posture is mapped against NERC CIP requirements and NIST 800-82 guidelines, identifying specific compliance gaps with clear references to applicable standards and controls.
Risk Prioritization
Every finding is scored by exploitability, impact to operations, and compliance severity. We prioritize based on real-world risk to your organization, not theoretical CVSS scores.
Remediation Roadmap
You receive three deliverables: an executive summary for your board, a detailed technical report for your team, and a prioritized remediation plan with timelines, owners, and budget estimates.
What we deliver
Non-Disruptive Passive Assessment
Zero active scanning of OT devices. We use passive network taps and span ports to analyze traffic without risking disruption to operational systems.
Protocol Analysis
Deep inspection of Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, and other industrial protocols to identify misuse, unencrypted commands, and unauthorized communication patterns.
Asset Discovery & Classification
Complete inventory of OT assets including vendor, model, firmware version, network address, and communication relationships, often uncovering devices your team didn't know existed.
Network Architecture Review
Evaluation of your OT network topology, including segmentation boundaries, firewall rules, and data flows between IT and OT environments.
Segmentation Validation
Verification that your IT/OT segmentation actually holds under scrutiny, testing for bypass paths, misconfigured ACLs, and dual-homed devices that bridge security zones.
NERC CIP Gap Analysis
Detailed mapping of your OT environment against applicable NERC CIP standards, identifying gaps in electronic security perimeters, access management, and system security management.
NIST 800-82 Alignment
Assessment against NIST Special Publication 800-82 guidelines for Industrial Control Systems security, providing a clear maturity baseline and improvement roadmap.
Executive + Technical Deliverables
Three-tier reporting: a board-ready executive summary, a detailed technical findings document, and a prioritized remediation plan with effort estimates and quick wins identified.
The right team for your OT assessment
We Understand OT, Not Just IT
Our assessment team includes engineers who've worked in utility operations. We know the difference between a SCADA master and a historian, and we understand why you can't just patch a PLC on a Tuesday afternoon.
Zero Disruption, Guaranteed
We've assessed OT environments at cooperatives across the country without a single operational disruption. Our passive methodology is designed from the ground up for environments where uptime is non-negotiable.
Actionable Results, Not Shelf-Ware
Our reports are built to be executed, not filed. Every finding includes specific remediation steps, estimated effort, and priority ranking. We stay available after delivery to answer questions and support implementation.
Assessment-to-Protection Pipeline
Assessment findings feed directly into our TITAN OT monitoring module and remediation services. One engagement builds the foundation for ongoing protection, not just a point-in-time snapshot.
