Purpose-Built for
Industrial Security
I built Beacon Security because the industrial world deserved better than recycled IT security wrapped in a new label. Every time I saw an OT environment being assessed with tools and thinking designed for corporate networks, I knew something had to change. So we built a team that lives and breathes industrial cybersecurity. Engineers who understand process control, who know why you never touch a safety system during a batch run, and who can design a security architecture around operational reality, not against it. What makes us different is simple: we don't adapt IT solutions for OT. We build OT-native security from the ground up. Our team combines hands-on industrial experience with advanced threat intelligence tailored specifically to control system environments. We are not here to check a compliance box. We are here to make sure your operations stay safe, stay running, and stay ahead of the threats that most security firms are only beginning to understand.
Deep Sector Expertise Where It Matters
Effective OT security requires intimate knowledge of how your industry operates. We bring sector-specific expertise to every engagement.
Oil and Gas
Protecting upstream, midstream, and downstream OT environments across exploration, production, refining, and distribution.
Energy and Electrical
Securing power generation, transmission, and distribution OT environments against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Manufacturing
Industrial cybersecurity for discrete and process manufacturing environments protecting production, quality, and safety systems.
Chemical
Safety-first OT cybersecurity for chemical processing and petrochemical facilities where cyber incidents can trigger physical safety events.
Automotive
Securing production line OT environments and connected manufacturing systems across automotive assembly, powertrain, and EV battery facilities.
Real-World OT Security Delivered
Representative examples of how Beacon Security approaches OT cybersecurity challenges across industrial sectors.
A pipeline operator managing over 800km of gas transmission infrastructure discovered that their legacy SCADA system had been exposed to the internet through a misconfigured firewall rule, potentially for months. The board demanded an immediate security assessment.
- SCADA master station running end-of-life OS with 18+ months of unpatched vulnerabilities
- Cleartext Modbus and DNP3 traffic across all field communication links
- Three vendor VPN tunnels active 24/7 with shared credentials and no session monitoring
- Zero centralized logging across 23 remote terminal units
Beacon Security deployed a four-week SCADA-focused assessment covering the master station, all communication links, and field devices. The work was aligned to both IEC 62443 and API 1164 pipeline security requirements.
- Deep protocol analysis of SCADA traffic revealing unauthorized polling from an unknown source
- RTU firmware audit with CVE correlation identifying 7 actively exploitable vulnerabilities
- Remote access architecture redesign replacing persistent VPNs with on-demand, monitored sessions
- SCADA-specific incident response playbook developed and tabletop-tested with operations staff
- Network architecture redesign establishing a dedicated SCADA DMZ with data diodes
The assessment uncovered an unauthorized device on the SCADA network that had been polling RTUs undetected. The operator implemented encrypted communications and a fully segmented SCADA architecture within 120 days.
Aligned with Global OT Security Mandates
Our methodologies align with every major OT cybersecurity standard, from international frameworks to regional regulatory mandates, giving clients confidence across global operations.
IEC/ISA 62443
The gold standard for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) security. We apply IEC/ISA 62443 to define Security Levels (SL1-SL4), establish security zones and conduits, and drive systematic risk reduction across OT environments.
NIST SP 800-82
NIST Special Publication 800-82 provides guidance on securing Industrial Control Systems (ICS). Our assessments align with its recommended security architecture, defense-in-depth strategies, and ICS-specific risk management practices.
OTCC
The Operational Technology Cybersecurity Controls framework by Saudi Arabia's National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA). We support organizations operating in the Kingdom to achieve and maintain OTCC compliance across critical sectors.
ECC
The Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC) framework mandated by Saudi Arabia's NCA for all government and critical sector organizations. We help entities meet ECC requirements with OT-specific implementation guidance.
EU Cyber Resilience Act
The EU Cyber Resilience Act introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for connected products and software. We advise manufacturers and operators of OT systems on meeting CRA obligations for products with digital elements.
NIS2 Directive
The EU Network and Information Security Directive 2 mandates cybersecurity risk management and incident reporting for essential and important entities, including energy, transport, and manufacturing. We help industrial operators meet NIS2 obligations for their OT environments.
DESC ICS Standard
The Dubai Electronic Security Center ICS security standard establishes mandatory cybersecurity requirements for industrial control systems operating in Dubai. We support organizations in achieving DESC ICS compliance across critical infrastructure and utility sectors.
Qatar NCSA Framework
The Qatar National Cyber Security Agency framework defines cybersecurity requirements for critical national infrastructure operators. We assist organizations in Qatar to align their OT security programmes with NCSA mandates across energy, utilities, and industrial sectors.
NCIIPC Guidelines
The National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre under the Government of India issues guidelines for protecting critical information infrastructure. We help Indian industrial operators implement NCIIPC recommendations for their OT and SCADA environments.
All Beacon Security engagements are scoped to applicable framework requirements based on your sector, geography, and regulatory obligations.
Common Questions
Answers to the most common questions about OT cybersecurity services, standards, and how Beacon Security can help your organization.
Have a question not covered here? Our team is happy to discuss your specific environment and requirements.
Contact us directlyOT cybersecurity focuses on protecting Operational Technology systems such as PLCs, SCADA, DCS, and industrial networks that control physical processes. Unlike IT security which prioritizes data confidentiality, OT security must prioritize availability and safety first. OT systems often run 24/7 with no tolerance for downtime, use proprietary protocols, have long lifecycles of 15-30 years, and where a compromise can have physical consequences including equipment damage, environmental harm, or personnel safety incidents.
