Strategy, Risk Assessment & Gap Analysis

This measures your organisation against a recognised maturity model, typically C2M2 or IEC 62443, to show exactly how mature your people, process and technology really are, not how mature you think they are. Our certified engineers run structured interviews, technical validation and evidence review rather than relying on a checklist. Without an honest maturity baseline, security investment ends up guesswork, and organisations frequently overspend on tools while leaving basic hygiene like asset inventory and patching completely unaddressed.

A full technical review of your industrial control systems, PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, DCS, SAS, EWS, Domain Controller, iDMZ, Data Diods , AV Server, Jump Server, Firewall placement & policies and the network fabric connecting them, looking for weak segmentation, default credentials, unpatched firmware and insecure protocols. Our industry experts use passive, non-intrusive techniques so live production is never put at risk during the assessment. Plants that skip this often only discover these weaknesses the hard way, when an incident forces an emergency review under far worse conditions.

This quantifies risk in terms plant management actually cares about, safety, production downtime and financial loss, by mapping threats against your specific assets, vulnerabilities and consequences. Our consultants use structured methodologies aligned to IEC 62443-3-2 so the output feeds directly into your risk register and investment decisions. Without a proper OT risk assessment, security spend gets allocated based on the loudest vendor pitch rather than the risks that could actually shut the plant down.

A site-level assessment covering physical security, network architecture, control system hardening and operational procedures specific to a single facility, since no two plants have identical layouts, vendors or risk profiles. Our certified engineers walk the site alongside desktop review, because industrial risk is as much about physical access to a cabinet as it is about firewall rules. Skipping a plant-specific assessment and relying only on corporate-level policy almost always misses the local exceptions and legacy systems that are the real source of exposure.

Smart grids introduce two-way communication between substations, smart meters and control centres, which means a security gap in one AMI meter can potentially be leveraged to reach grid control systems. Our industry experts assess SCADA, AMI infrastructure and substation communications against NERC CIP and IEC 62443 requirements. Utilities that don't assess this exposure risk cascading outages, since grid systems are interconnected by design and a single weak point can propagate across a wide area.

Solar farms, wind assets and battery storage sites are usually managed through cloud-connected SCADA and remote monitoring platforms, often with less mature security than legacy generation assets. Our engineers assess inverters, SCADA gateways, remote access paths and cloud integrations specific to renewable operations. Without this, renewable operators, who increasingly depend on remote monitoring to run unmanned sites, are exposed to attackers who specifically target the weaker remote-access paths these sites rely on.

Upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas operations each carry distinct risk profiles, from wellhead SCADA and pipeline SCADA to refinery DCS and terminal automation. Our certified engineers assess these environments against API 1164 and IEC 62443, factoring in the safety-critical nature of process control. An unassessed gap in pipeline or refinery control systems isn't just a cyber risk, it's a potential safety and environmental incident, which is why regulators increasingly expect a documented assessment on file.

A TRA formally documents threat actors, attack vectors and business consequences specific to your environment, and is often a mandatory input for regulatory submissions and insurance underwriting. Our industry experts build TRAs aligned to Saudi NCA requirements and international standards so the output is accepted by regulators and auditors alike. Without a documented TRA, organisations struggle to demonstrate due diligence after an incident, which can affect both regulatory standing and insurance claims.

This is a point-in-time snapshot of your current defensive posture across network, endpoint, identity and monitoring controls, giving leadership a clear read on where the organisation stands today. Our consultants benchmark posture against industry peers and recognised frameworks so results are meaningful, not just a raw list of findings. Without a periodic posture assessment, security teams lose visibility into drift, configurations and controls silently weaken over time as changes accumulate.

A structured comparison between your current controls and a target framework, IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82 or Saudi NCA OTCC, producing a prioritised list of exactly what's missing. Our certified engineers tie every gap to a specific standard clause so remediation is auditable and defensible to regulators. Without a formal gap analysis, compliance efforts tend to be reactive and scattered, addressing whatever an auditor flagged last rather than closing the full set of requirements.
