OT security for power, utilities, oil and gas.
Substation automation, electrification and traction power SCADA, utility telemetry, terminals and pipelines, secured to IEC 62443 and built around outages, permits and the safety case.
Four parts of the estate. What we do on each.
Substation and electrification SCADA
Substation automation, an electrification control room or a power station control system is being renewed or connected to the wider network.
- Wedesign, harden and separate the network under your isolation and outage plans, keeping protection and control traffic in its own zone.
- You geta network tested and commissioned to your standards, with control traffic contained where it belongs.
Plant control: DCS, SIS and package units
The board, the insurer or the regulator asks how exposed the process control estate is.
- Wemap the control systems, safety systems, package units and the link to the office network into zones, and decide how much protection each needs.
- You geta costed plan you can take to the board, with the safety systems kept apart from everything else.
Plant DMZ and vendor access
Equipment vendors have standing connections into the plant.
- Weput a controlled boundary between the office network and the plant, and make every vendor session approved, time-limited and recorded.
- You getit installed in turnarounds and planned outages, with a way back if anything goes wrong.
Pipelines, terminals and remote sites
SCADA, leak detection and telemetry run over a mix of telecoms, radio and fixed links to sites nobody visits often.
- Webring the remote sites into the zone model, harden them, and specify equipment rated for hazardous areas.
- You getresilient links designed and commissioned by our own engineers.
Permits, outages and the safety function come first.
- All site work under your permit-to-work, isolation and hazardous-area rules.
- We assess live control networks by looking, never by scanning.
- We work with your safety engineers and never change the safety function; what we produce is written to go straight into the COMAH safety report and NIS evidence.
Same problems, same standard.
Our deepest experience is railway control networks. The same engineers have worked on power station control upgrades, substation automation, electrification SCADA and utility telemetry. The problems are the same: long-life equipment, vendor packages with their own networks, remote sites, and a safety case that must not move when security changes. IEC 62443 is the same standard across all of them.
Who we areStandards we work to on energy and process sites: IEC 62443 · IEC 61850 · IEC 60870-5-104 · COMAH · API 1164 · ATEX / IECEx · NIS Regulations and the NCSC CAF
