ICS Network Assessment and Design

Resilient ICS networks with end-to-end lifecycle support.

When you need it

  • The OT network has grown organically and nobody has a current diagram
  • IT and OT are joined in ways no one signed off
  • You are segmenting, adding remote access or building a new site and want it designed right

We offer a full suite of services for ICS network architecture, from assessment through to implementation, to secure and optimise critical infrastructure.

We begin by reviewing the network infrastructure, its design and its documentation. That lets us understand the specific challenges, identify areas for improvement and deliver recommendations tailored to your needs.

Our commitment goes beyond recommendations. We design and implement, working with your team to deploy a robust and resilient network architecture that meets operational requirements and aligns with industry standards and good practice.

  4. 4

    Implement

    Deployment with your team and vendors.

  5. 5

    Document

    Current diagrams and a handover your engineers can maintain.

What you get

  • Network infrastructure, design and documentation reviewed

Where it is used most

Questions we get asked

Do you do the implementation?

Yes. Design and implementation, working with your team and your vendors.

Do you use IEC 62443 zones and conduits?

The designs align with industry standards, and the zone-and-conduit model is the usual reference for segmentation.

What about remote access?

Remote access to control systems is a common weak point. It is covered in both the assessment and the design.
