Risk Assessments

Risk Assessment for increasingly connected systems

As industrial control systems become increasingly interconnected, they face greater exposure to cyber threats. These vulnerabilities can lead to events that severely disrupt an organisation's operational continuity, efficiency, and safety.

The consequences of such attacks extend beyond organisational boundaries, potentially devastating communities and economies. These high-stakes risks drive organisations to prioritise the protection of their industrial networks and Operational Technology (OT).

Conducting robust risk assessments is critical to identifying vulnerabilities, mitigating threats, and safeguarding the systems that underpin vital operations and infrastructure.

An assured framework

Our OT risk assessment follows internationally recognised standards and best practices such as IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, ISO 27005 and the NCSC Risk Framework which are specifically tailored to industrial control, automation, and other systems. 

Specifically designed to identify site-level risks as opposed to organisational-level risks, our OT risk assessments include the following IEC 62443 aspects and address the areas of:

FR 1 - Identification and authentication control
FR 2 - Use control
FR 3 - System integrity
FR 4 - Data confidentiality
FR 5 - Restricted data flow
FR 6 - Timely response to events
FR 7 - Resource availability

Our findings help identify a risk rating using a standard risk rating system that is easily adjusted to your organisation's risk profile.

Our findings also include assessing the effectiveness of an organisation's OT security control, with risks mapped out to the relevant parts of IEC 62443

We deliver end-to-end security services built on our experience in defending some of the UK’s critical infrastructure
