IT/OT convergence
Flat networks where a compromised office laptop can reach a programmable logic controller, with no meaningful boundary in between.
Built for this sector
Manufacturing security has a different centre of gravity. The primary loss scenario is not a data breach; it is production stoppage. A ransomware event that encrypts the MES and halts a line costs more per hour than most data incidents cost in total.
The technical environment makes this hard. Operational technology runs on protocols designed without authentication, on systems that cannot be patched during production, maintained by vendors who require remote access, and with lifespans measured in decades rather than years.
Meanwhile, security requirements now arrive contractually from OEM customers, and export-oriented manufacturers face European supply chain due diligence and product regulation. We build programmes that respect plant reality — segmentation and monitoring rather than agents on a PLC, and change windows aligned to planned maintenance.
Priorities we work on
These are not hypothetical risks. They are the specific conditions we have had to design around on engagements in this sector.
Flat networks where a compromised office laptop can reach a programmable logic controller, with no meaningful boundary in between.
HMIs and SCADA on unsupported operating systems that cannot be updated without vendor recertification and a production stop.
Equipment suppliers holding standing remote access to plant systems, often through their own tooling and credentials.
OEM customers imposing security clauses, assessments and incident notification duties through purchase contracts.
Sensor and analytics deployments creating new data flows to cloud platforms with unclear ownership and weak authentication.
Defensible security, built around how your business actually loses money.
Threat-led security strategy, architecture and control design that prioritises the handful of scenarios that would genuinely hurt you — not a generic checklist of 300 controls.
Explore capabilityRisk registers that change decisions, not just fill a folder.
Quantified technology, privacy and AI risk management — with a taxonomy, an appetite, and reporting that makes trade-offs explicit at the executive table.
Explore capabilityKnow what your vendors can reach — and what happens when one fails.
Vendor risk programmes that tier by real exposure, assess proportionately, contract properly and monitor continuously — instead of emailing a 300-question spreadsheet once a year.
Explore capabilityExecutive security leadership, sized to what you actually need.
A senior security leader embedded in your executive team — owning strategy, budget, board reporting and incident command — at a fraction of a full-time hire.
Explore capabilityPatient trust is clinical infrastructure.
Hospital networks, digital health platforms and life sciences organisations carry the most sensitive data category there is, under simultaneous Indian, US and European obligations.
Regulatory density meets real-time expectations.
Banks, NBFCs, insurers, fintechs and capital markets firms operate under the most prescriptive supervisory regime in India, with regulators that audit rather than advise.
Trust is the shortest path through enterprise procurement.
For product companies, security and privacy posture is not overhead — it is the thing that determines whether an enterprise deal closes this quarter or next year.
Personalisation and consent, reconciled.
Retailers hold consumer data at the highest volume of any sector, monetise it through marketing technology, and must now make consent enforceable across that entire stack.
