Security & Resilience

Manufacturing & Industrial IoT (IIoT)

Secure plants, connected products, and supply chains—without stopping the line. We help discrete and process manufacturers modernise securely across OT/IT/Cloud, align with NIS2 where in scope, prepare for the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) if you ship connected products, and run evidence-backed programmes your board can trust.

Factory realities defy generic programmes

Most programmes assume you can patch PLCs on demand, scan everything, and schedule downtime freely. Legacy controllers, certified equipment, weekend change windows, and vendor remote access say otherwise. · We implement working controls for plants and connected products—zones and conduits, identity that fits operators and vendors, safe monitoring for fragile assets, and automated evidence that proves controls work.

The reality:

  • Most programmes assume you can patch PLCs on demand, scan everything, and schedule downtime freely. Legacy controllers, certified equipment, weekend change windows, and vendor remote access say otherwise.
  • OT, IT, cloud, and IIoT estates span MES, SCADA, ERP, and custom integrations—making governance hard without disrupting the line.

How we help:

  • We implement working controls for plants and connected products—zones and conduits, identity that fits operators and vendors, safe monitoring for fragile assets, and automated evidence that proves controls work.
  • Programmes are sequenced around maintenance windows and staged rollouts so production keeps moving.

Regulation is expanding fast

NIS2 now covers key manufacturing subsectors—Annex II names medical devices, computer/electronic/optical, electrical equipment, machinery, motor vehicles, and transport equipment producers. Article 21 measures and incident reporting apply if you meet scope tests. (EUR-Lex) · We confirm national scope, align Article 21 measures with OT and IIoT operations, and build board-level oversight with inspection-ready evidence.

The reality:

  • NIS2 now covers key manufacturing subsectors—Annex II names medical devices, computer/electronic/optical, electrical equipment, machinery, motor vehicles, and transport equipment producers. Article 21 measures and incident reporting apply if you meet scope tests. (EUR-Lex)
  • The EU Cyber Resilience Act introduces baseline requirements for products with digital elements, with obligations landing from September 2026 and December 2027. (EUR-Lex)

How we help:

  • We confirm national scope, align Article 21 measures with OT and IIoT operations, and build board-level oversight with inspection-ready evidence.
  • Connected-product teams get CRA readiness—secure defaults, SBOM and update policies, vulnerability handling, and incident reporting design.

Threats to OT and supply chain keep rising

ENISA highlights ransomware and availability attacks targeting manufacturing due to downtime sensitivity and sprawling supplier networks. (ENISA) · IEC 62443-aligned zones and conduits, monitored choke points, and vendor remote-access gateways with audit trails keep OT segmented without breaking workflows.

The reality:

  • ENISA highlights ransomware and availability attacks targeting manufacturing due to downtime sensitivity and sprawling supplier networks. (ENISA)
  • Vendors, integrators, and remote engineers expand the attack surface while plants depend on reliable connectivity.

How we help:

  • IEC 62443-aligned zones and conduits, monitored choke points, and vendor remote-access gateways with audit trails keep OT segmented without breaking workflows.
  • Supplier due diligence, contractual controls, and FinOps rhythm reduce exposure across production partners and cloud estates.

Boards and partners demand proof

NIS2 holds management bodies accountable for cyber risk, and OEM/critical-supplier contracts now ask for operational evidence, not policy PDFs. · Automated evidence, live dashboards, and management reviews keep Article 21 coverage, CRA readiness, and ISO 27001 controls provable on demand.

The reality:

  • NIS2 holds management bodies accountable for cyber risk, and OEM/critical-supplier contracts now ask for operational evidence, not policy PDFs.
  • Global supply chains expect harmonised reporting, risk registers, and regulator-ready artefacts.

How we help:

  • Automated evidence, live dashboards, and management reviews keep Article 21 coverage, CRA readiness, and ISO 27001 controls provable on demand.
  • We hand over runbooks, board packs, and audit trails that withstand funder, regulator, and customer scrutiny.
