Cyber Essentials for OT Environments

Applying UK Cyber Essentials and CE+ to OT systems isn't straightforward - but it's possible. We help industrial sites demonstrate security alignment without compromising safety or operations.

Challenges in Industrial Contexts

OT assets often run unsupported or unpatchable OS versions
MFA and antivirus tooling not compatible with PLCs/SCADA
Patch windows may be quarterly or annual, not weekly
Limited visibility across mixed vendor infrastructure
Unclear boundary between IT and OT ownership

Our Practical Approach

Map Cyber Essentials controls to OT control classes
Document and justify compensating measures
Review asset inventory, network zones, and access paths
Support in building OT-specific policy appendices
Prepare audit-ready documentation and remediation plans
