Securing the Production Line from IT to OT.

Production downtime is measured in lost revenue per minute. We bridge the gap between enterprise IT and factory-floor operational technology (OT), hardening your supply chain without disrupting operations.

Modern Manufacturing Has Three Attack Surfaces. Most Vendors Only See One.

IT networks, OT/ICS environments, and supply chain integrations are all exposed - and traditional IT security tools are blind to the production floor.

IT/OT Bridges

Convergence points where enterprise networks interface with factory-floor SCADA systems represent the most critical exposure in modern manufacturing. Industry 4.0 connectivity has eliminated the air gap, creating a direct ransomware path from a phishing email to a production line shutdown in under an hour.

SCADA & PLCs

Legacy industrial controllers lack modern encryption and user authentication mechanisms. These systems run proprietary protocols, cannot be patched without taking production offline, and represent persistent footholds that are invisible to standard IT security tools.

Proprietary IP & CAD Files

R&D blueprints, chemical formulas, and engineering schematics targeted for corporate espionage. Nation-state actors routinely conduct long-dwell intrusions against manufacturers — harvesting IP over months without triggering standard detection thresholds.

CMMC, NIST, and Beyond - We Map to Every Framework Defense Contractors Need.

Defense Industrial Base contractors face mandatory CMMC certification. We build the program, gather the evidence, and support the C3PAO assessment.

CMMC 2.0 (Level 2) Safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information across 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices — mandatory for defense contractors handling CUI. We build the program, collect evidence, and support the C3PAO assessment.
NIST SP 800-171 The foundational CUI protection standard — our vCISO builds the System Security Plan (SSP), Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&M), and ongoing compliance monitoring for defense industrial base suppliers.
IEC 62443 International standard for industrial automation control system security — zone and conduit architecture, security levels, and OT-aware monitoring requirements aligned to our manufacturing delivery.

OT-Aware Security That Doesn't Disrupt Production.

Our manufacturing engagements are designed to protect production environments without requiring downtime, vendor involvement, or modifications to production systems.

01 - Detection & Response

24/7 MDR with OT Visibility

Passive monitoring of OT network traffic using protocol-aware sensors - no agents on PLCs or SCADA systems. Behavioral baselining of normal production patterns to detect anomalies. IT/OT correlation in a unified SIEM so analysts see both environments together. Mean time to contain: under 9 minutes.

02 - Security Program Ownership

vCISO & CMMC Program Management

Fractional CISO ownership of your CMMC 2.0 readiness - System Security Plan drafting, POA&M management, SPRS score maintenance, and C3PAO assessment coordination. We keep your DoD contract eligibility intact throughout the certification process and beyond.

03 - Proactive Assessment

OT/IT Penetration Testing & Gap Analysis

External and internal network pen testing plus dedicated OT network segmentation assessment - validating that your IT/OT boundary is actually enforced. CMMC gap analysis with remediation roadmap. Engineering workstation and HMI security review without touching production systems.

04 - Human Risk Reduction

Workforce Security Awareness for Manufacturing

Phishing simulations and training tailored to manufacturing floor realities - USB drop scenarios, social engineering of maintenance staff, and business email compromise targeting procurement and AP departments responsible for wire transfers and supplier payments.

Protect Production. Achieve CMMC. Keep Contracts.

We'll assess your current OT/IT security posture and CMMC readiness - then show you the fastest path to certification without disrupting production. No obligation.
