ICS Security Architecture

Customised for sector-specific operational requirements.

When you need it

  • You need a target architecture, not another list of findings
  • Your sector has specific guidelines or regulations to design to
  • IIoT and cloud connections are arriving faster than governance

We assess the operational requirements of your environment, taking into account the sector's specific challenges and regulatory framework, and design a security architecture aligned with its guidelines, regulations and constraints.

The service includes reference architectures for ICS and IIoT environments, giving you a detailed framework for streamlined integration and implementation.

It also covers a comprehensive review of the existing cyber security governance framework and supporting processes, how well they can keep up with a changing threat landscape, and help uplifting what is needed for a robust, fit-for-purpose architecture.

How it runs

  1. 1

    Assess requirements

    Operational requirements, the sector's challenges and its regulatory framework.

  2. 2

    Review governance

    The existing cyber security governance framework, its processes and how well they keep pace with the threat landscape.

  3. 3

    Design

    A security architecture aligned with sector guidelines and regulations, with reference architectures for ICS and IIoT.

  4. 4

    Uplift

    The elements that need strengthening, planned and sequenced.

  5. 5

    Support

    Streamlined integration and implementation against the reference architectures.

What you get

  • Security architecture aligned with sector guidelines and regulations
  • Reference architectures for ICS and IIoT
  • Governance framework and processes reviewed
  • Uplift of the elements that need it

Where it is used most

Questions we get asked

What is a reference architecture?

A documented framework showing how systems, zones and controls fit together, so every new project integrates the same way.

Does it cover governance?

Yes. The review covers the governance framework and supporting processes as well as the technical design.

Which sectors?

Any. The point of the service is designing to your sector's own guidelines and regulations.
