Cybersecurity Design & Architecture (Secure-By-Design)
Build cybersecurity into the project, not bolted on later. We design security for real-world operational environments including IT, OT, FRCS, and BAS where availability and safety matter as much as confidentiality.
Designed for legacy and “can’t replace it” systems with practical architecture and compensating controls aligned to OT guidance.
What This Service Is
A structured engagement that embeds security into new builds, modernization projects, network refreshes, and vendor-delivered systems.
What We Do
- ✓ Secure-by-design requirements and architecture decision logs
- ✓ IT/OT/FRCS/BAS segmentation and trust-boundary design
- ✓ OT-ready zero trust patterns and access models
- ✓ Vendor-agnostic design reviews and remediation punch lists
Who This Is For
- ✓ You are building or upgrading OT/FRCS/BAS environments
- ✓ Legacy systems can’t be replaced but must be better protected
- ✓ You need segmentation, secure remote access, and visibility
Cybersecurity Audit Readiness
Know your risk and be ready to prove it. We deliver assessments across IT, OT, and facility control environments, translating findings into a remediation plan aligned to CMMC and SOC expectations.
What you walk away with: a prioritized risk picture, a practical remediation roadmap, and executive-ready reporting.
What We Assess
- ✓ CMMC Level 1–2 readiness and evidence alignment
- ✓ SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II preparation
- ✓ NIST SP 800-171 requirement implementation and traceability
- ✓ Executive-level risk reporting and prioritization
Who This Is For
- ✓ You need DoD or prime contractor readiness
- ✓ You want SOC 2 Type II momentum and evidence discipline
- ✓ You need a defensible security story for auditors or customers
Security Posture & Architecture Assessments
Understand your real security posture across IT and OT. We evaluate cybersecurity architecture, exposure, and operational risk across IT, OT, and facility control environments.
Our assessments go beyond automated scanning to validate vulnerabilities, review system design, and measure control effectiveness in real operating conditions.
Where frameworks apply, we align findings to NIST guidance and IEC 62443, the OT gold standard, so improvements are structured, defensible, and operationally realistic.
What We Do
- ✓ Validated vulnerability assessments (not scan-only)
- ✓ Architecture and secure design reviews
- ✓ NIST control alignment and gap identification
- ✓ IEC 62443 zones and conduits modeling
- ✓ Risk prioritization based on operational impact
Who This Is For
- ✓ Organizations modernizing OT or facility systems
- ✓ Teams that need real risk insight before investing in controls
- ✓ Operators who want security improvements without breaking operations
vCISO (OT & ICS Security Leadership)
Enterprise-grade security leadership without the full-time overhead. Get experienced ISSM/ISSO support to strengthen governance, reduce risk, and keep compliance moving forward.
- ✓ A security program that actually runs (not just policies on a shelf)
- ✓ Measurable risk reduction and stronger audit readiness
- ✓ Faster decisions and clearer accountability
What This Service Is
A fractional engagement gives you leadership-level security oversight and hands-on execution aligned to your environment and regulatory obligations. We can operate as:
- ✓ Fractional ISSM (program leadership, strategy, governance)
- ✓ Fractional ISSO (system-level compliance, control execution, evidence)
What We Do
- ✓ Security program development and governance cadence
- ✓ NIST CSF implementation and gap remediation planning
- ✓ Risk assessment and RMF/ISO 27001-aligned risk management
- ✓ Incident response planning and tabletop exercises
Who This Is For
- ✓ You need security leadership now, but not a full-time hire
- ✓ Compliance pressure requires steady execution
- ✓ You want consistent governance, reporting, and risk visibility
