Talk to Our Team →Common questions about OT cybersecurity and how FortressGuard can help protect your operations.
Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity focuses on protecting the hardware and software systems that monitor and control physical processes in industries like manufacturing, utilities, and critical infrastructure. Unlike traditional IT security, OT cybersecurity must account for the unique requirements of industrial control systems where downtime can mean physical safety risks and significant financial losses.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to ensure that contractors and subcontractors meet specific cybersecurity standards. If your organization works within the defense supply chain or handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you may be required to achieve CMMC certification. FortressGuard helps you assess your current posture and prepare for certification.
FortressGuard specializes in the intersection of IT and OT cybersecurity, with a focus on making enterprise-grade security accessible to small and mid-size manufacturers, breweries, utilities, and other hometown industries. Our proprietary CASTLE™ methodology provides a structured, adaptive approach that goes beyond generic compliance checklists to deliver real-world protection tailored to your operations.
FortressGuard provides comprehensive support for CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification), SOC 2 and SOC 3, NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) frameworks, and IEC 62443 industrial cybersecurity standards. We help organizations align their security posture with these frameworks through gap analysis, remediation planning, documentation support, and audit preparation.
Absolutely. FortressGuard was built with the understanding that cybersecurity shouldn't be reserved for large enterprises. We work with small manufacturers, local breweries, regional utilities, and other organizations that rely on industrial control systems. Our approach is designed to be practical and scalable, so you get the protection you need at a level that makes sense for your business.
