OT Architecture Review Services

Ensure your existing OT infrastructure is resilient to modern threats by developing a strategic plan to create a defensible and robust architecture that safeguards your systems and operations.

OT Architecture Review: Building a Defensible, Resilient Infrastructure

Our OT Architecture Review service assesses your current infrastructure and develops a plan to create a secure and resilient architecture. This includes enhancing visibility, asset identification, log collection, segmentation, and industrial DMZs. Our OT security experts collaborate with you to reduce risks through effective system design and implementation. GuidePoint Security helps clients answer key questions such as:

  • "Is my OT architecture secure, and where are the vulnerabilities?"
  • "How can I reduce the attack surface of my OT environment?"
  • "Is remote access to the OT environment secure?"
  • "Where do I start?"

Benefits of Undergoing an OT Architecture Review

Our OT Architecture Review service offers a strategic assessment designed to strengthen the security framework of your Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) networks. This thorough review includes an in-depth gap analysis and a detailed examination of your OT architecture, benchmarked against recognized standards like the Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) architecture and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).

By identifying and addressing security gaps, optimizing industry compliance, and adhering to best practices, organizations can:

  • Significantly enhance the security and resilience of OT networks
  • Safeguard the integrity and continuous operation of critical industrial processes
  • Build a strong and adaptive cybersecurity posture

OT Architecture Review Methodology & Deliverables

Our expert team follows a proven methodology to assess your OT network, understand your objectives, and develop a plan to enhance your OT network’s security. We collaborate with key stakeholders to:

  • Scope and complete RFIs, gathering relevant documentation
  • Conduct interviews with teams to collect critical information about your OT network
  • Perform an asset inventory scan within the defined scope

The final report will provide a clear roadmap from your current configurations to your desired outcomes, including key findings and actionable recommendations for improvement.

OT Architecture Review Outcomes

Conducting an OT Architecture Review (OTAR) with GuidePoint Security accelerates your ICS/OT cybersecurity journey by leveraging the expertise of our experienced OT team. The OTAR will deliver several key outcomes:

  • A documented assessment of the current OT state, security findings, and architecture
  • A clearly defined desired OT state, architecture, and a comprehensive roadmap
  • An expedited ICS/OT cybersecurity journey, with a detailed plan of action for achieving your security goals
