05 / AUTHORIZED SECURITY
System security.
Verified technically.
OT and energy infrastructure require a different approach from a conventional IT penetration test. Availability, safety, deterministic behaviour, vendor constraints and recovery are part of the test plan alongside the attack surface itself.
Discuss this serviceSERVICE SCOPE
We understand both the technology and the attack surface.
Security is assessed in the context of control systems, communications, remote access and real operational constraints.
Cybersecurity Assessment
Technical review of the current security posture, architecture, segmentation, remote access, identity and management interfaces.
OT / ICS Security Review
PLC, HMI, SCADA, EMS, BMS, PCS, gateways, engineering workstations, logging and vendor access.
Security Architecture Review
Review of security zones, data flows, privileged access, firewall rules and operational dependencies.
Authorized Offensive Security
Penetration and scenario-based testing only within a pre-agreed scope and under explicit customer authorisation.
WHAT TO PREPARE
Inputs for a useful start.
- Defined scope and written authorisation for active testing
- Network and system architecture
- System inventory and operational constraints
- Required reporting and retest approach
WHAT WE DELIVER
An output you can use.
Technical findings with evidence within the authorised scope, risk prioritisation, remediation guidance and recommended retesting.
Active security testing is performed only within a pre-agreed authorised scope. We do not present this service as a certification or regulatory audit without the relevant authority.
PRACTICAL DETAILS
Questions we are
often asked.
Is OT security the same as a standard IT pentest?
No. OT work must respect availability, operational safety, production impact, recovery and vendor constraints.
Do you test systems without owner approval?
No. Offensive-security testing is always authorised, with a defined scope and rules of engagement.
