Manufacturing cybersecurity (IT and OT)Keep the plant running and the network apart.
Segmentation, recovery and compliance work for manufacturers whose production depends on ERP and connected machines.
What's at stake.
- 01
Production uptime
Ransomware that reaches ERP or plant systems stops output, not just email.
- 02
Flat networks
When office IT and plant OT share a network, one infected laptop can reach machines.
- 03
Customer requirements
Automotive and export customers increasingly ask for TISAX or ISO/IEC 27001 evidence.
Rules and standards that usually apply.
Which ones apply depends on your licence, customers and data. Treat this as a starting list.
| Rule or standard | Who it applies to | What it asks for |
|---|---|---|
| IEC 62443 | Applies to · Operators, integrators and suppliers of industrial automation and control systems | Asks for · Security for industrial automation and control systems, including zones and conduits |
| TISAX | Applies to · Automotive suppliers working with European, especially German, carmakers | Asks for · An assessed information security level shared with customers |
| ISO/IEC 27001 | Applies to · Any organisation | Asks for · An information security management system with risk-based controls |
| CERT-In Directions (April 2022) | Applies to · Service providers, intermediaries, data centres and body corporates in India | Asks for · Report specified cyber incidents to CERT-In within 6 hours; keep ICT system logs for 180 days within India |

Where to start.
- Step 1
Book the free 30-minute IT & security health check
- Step 2
Draw the current network and mark where IT and OT meet
- Step 3
Start with an ISO 27001 gap assessment if customers are asking for it
We focus on the network boundary, remote access, backups and the IT systems around the plant. Changes to control systems are planned with your OT team or integrator.
TISAX is an assessment used in the automotive industry, especially by European carmakers, to check supplier information security. If a customer asks for it, an ISO/IEC 27001-style ISMS is a strong base.
Usually with an inventory and a zone and conduit view of the plant network, then segmentation and access control.
