6 Core Pillars of OT & ICS/SCADA Auditing
Our certified industrial cybersecurity specialists (GICSP, ISA/IEC 62443 Expert) evaluate field devices, engineering stations, and control networks without risking production uptime.
Purdue Architecture & IDMZ
Verifying zoning and conduit isolation across Purdue Model Levels 0 to 5, establishing robust Industrial DMZ (IDMZ) boundaries to stop IT ransomware from spilling into plant OT.
- Purdue Model Levels 0-5 zoning audit
- Industrial DMZ (Level 3.5) barrier check
- IT-to-OT lateral movement prevention
PLC / RTU & Logic Integrity
Auditing Programmable Logic Controllers (Siemens S7, Rockwell Allen-Bradley, Schneider Modicon), logic injection flaws, firmware signing, and unauthenticated control commands.
- Siemens, Schneider & Rockwell PLC tests
- Ladder logic & firmware tampering checks
- Controller engineering port access hardening
Industrial Protocols & DPI
Deep packet inspection of unencrypted industrial protocols (Modbus TCP, DNP3, OPC UA, IEC 60870-5-104, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET), identifying packet injection and man-in-the-middle vulnerabilities.
- Modbus TCP & DNP3 unauthenticated probes
- OPC-UA digital certificate & encryption checks
- Industrial DPI firewall rule validation
SCADA, HMI & Historian Hardening
Auditing Human-Machine Interface (HMI) workstations, SCADA servers, process data historians, USB removable media policies, and air-gap jump host configurations.
- Operator HMI application privilege controls
- Industrial historian database encryption
- USB storage air-gap protection policies
Safety Systems (SIS) & Fail-Safe
Verifying physical separation of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS / SIL 2/3) from Basic Process Control Systems (BPCS), and auditing emergency shutdown (ESD) interlocks.
- SIS to BPCS network physical isolation
- Emergency shutdown (ESD) fail-safe checks
- Sensor telemetry spoofing prevention
ISA/IEC 62443 & Safe-to-Operate
Compiling the formal ISA/IEC 62443 & NCIIPC compliance gap matrix, conducting plant remediation guidance, and issuing the official Safe-to-Operate Industrial Certificate.
- ISA/IEC 62443-3-3 security level matrix
- NCIIPC Critical Sector compliance sign-off
- Official Safe-to-Operate Industrial Certificate
5-Stage IT/OT & ICS/SCADA Assessment Roadmap
Our certified industrial cybersecurity auditors use passive monitoring, controlled lab simulations, and zero-impact methodologies to ensure total plant safety.
OT Asset Inventory & Purdue Mapping
Passive network traffic monitoring and physical plant walk-throughs to catalog PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, historians, and network switches without active pinging.
IDMZ & Network Segmentation Analysis
Evaluating firewall rulebases, jump host configurations, and industrial DMZ boundary rules between corporate IT and manufacturing OT networks.
Controlled Protocol Fuzzing & Application VAPT
Executing safe, read-only security probes against SCADA servers, historian web portals, and unauthenticated Modbus/OPC-UA endpoints.
Fail-Safe Logic & Incident Playbook Audit
Verifying emergency manual override procedures, backup PLC logic images, and operational incident response runbooks for industrial cyber events.
Executive Sign-Off & ISA/IEC 62443 Attestation
Delivering plant-safe remediation blueprints, verifying closing of critical findings, and issuing the official Lumiverse Safe-to-Operate Industrial Certificate.
