OT Cyber SecurityConsultancy

=Method OT Cyber Security consultants help organisations in process industries understand how to detect vulnerabilities and prevent malicious attacks.

OT Cyber Security consultancy often involves looking at Hardware, Software, Security, Processes and Human Factors. It is a very different discipline to IT Cyber Security. We work with business managers and engineers to survey and assess process plants in line with international standards and guidance issued by the UK HSE.

=Method helps you understand what is the most efficient approach to developing compliant OT Cyber Security processes.Our team works closely with the wider =Method business to provide consultancy support across the whole functional safety lifecycle.

Incident Response Tabletop Exercises (TTX)

Incident Response Tabletop Exercises are structured, discussion-based sessions where a team walks through a simulated incident scenario to practice how they would respond-without actually triggering real systems or emergencies.

=Method Cyber Security can facilitate TTX exercises to test and validate your organisation’s existing incident response plans and threat-specific response playbooks in order to enhance Incident Response Team capabilities and foster collaboration between the varied business functions likely to be involved in responding to a real-world cyber incident. Read more about TTX.

OT Cyber Security Survey

The =Method Cyber Security Survey is a combination of workshop and risk assessment – designed to “get you started” on the journey towards properly understanding the kind of cyber threats your business faces and what you can do protect against those threats. This is not a “full” cyber risk assessment, but a first step on the road towards beginning such an assessment.

Together we will develop an understanding of your business, the “assets” that need to be protected, the nature of possible threats and then identifying simple steps that can be implemented easily to improve cyber security, based on an understanding of those assets and threats.

OT Cyber Security Risk Assessment

The =Method Cyber Security Assessment is an in-depth evaluation of your operational technology environment, designed to identify, analyse and prioritise cyber risks that could impact your critical systems and processes. The assessment is delivered using =Method’s proven procedures, developed and refined since 2018.

Our assessment helps you understand not only where you are exposed, but what actions to take, improving resilience, supporting compliance, and enabling effective long-term cyber risk management. More information on Risk Assessments.
