Sicra’s security triangle: Holistic IT and OT security through leadership, monitoring, and expertise

Cyber risk is increasing, not only in IT systems, but also in production environments, infrastructure, and societally critical digital processes. As Sicra and Bluetree now join forces, we are building a holistic cybersecurity company and environment to deliver a strong line of defense against these challenges. We combine leadership, technology, monitoring, and deep OT expertise to give organizations the security they need in a time when threats are changing rapidly.

Sicra’s security triangle is our model for building holistic security, from the boardroom to the server room and onward to industrial control systems.

What sets us apart from our competitors is our ability to combine all three elements of the model under one roof. Our advisory services are closely connected to hands-on, specialized expertise, and when customers move into the operational phase, we offer a world-class SOC service, further strengthened by expertise based in Norway. Feedback from customers shows that the model works, and existing customers tell us they have tried other models with mixed results. Leading law firms also seek collaboration to ensure a corresponding level of quality on the legal side. Sicra can provide technical reviews that anchor subsequent legal assessments in technical reality.

Sicra’s security triangle

To create real digital security, organizations must manage security at multiple levels: strategic, operational, technical, and for an increasing number of organizations, also industrial. With the merger of Sicra and Bluetree, we are expanding our model to cover both IT and OT security. Sicra’s security triangle consists of three areas that reinforce each other and create a holistic offering few others can match.

1. Security leadership / CISO

At the top of the triangle is strategic security management. Here, Sicra acts as an advisor and trusted partner for executive management.

We help customers build governance structures, establish security programs, and lead complex security initiatives. Through analyses, risk management, advisory services, and close collaboration with both technical specialists and legal partners, we ensure that security becomes an integrated part of the business strategy.

In short: We help management take control of security, not just manage it.

What makes us unique in this area is the combination of technical consultants and experienced advisors. We can verify actual conditions and the real attack surface, rather than basing assessments on assumptions. As a result, our advice is more precise, more grounded in reality, and more actionable, a clear difference from pure management consulting environments.

2. Consulting, professional, and OT security environment

At the bottom left of the triangle is Sicra’s professional foundation, our “boots on the ground”: the operational force that turns Sicra’s strategy into reality. This includes our advisors, architects, and experts in IT infrastructure, networking, cybersecurity, and following the merger with Bluetree, a strong and specialized OT security environment.

We support customers with everything from technical design, implementation, and operations to specialized advisory services within OT networks and infrastructure, including segmentation, monitoring, and risk management across IT and OT.

Through close collaboration between our IT and OT experts and the services delivered through CISO and SOC, we ensure that strategies are actually translated into solutions that work, whether they are protecting server rooms, production lines, sensors, or critical infrastructure.

3. Operations center – Network/Security Operations Center (NOC/SOC)

At the bottom right of the triangle are Sicra’s operational muscles: our unified operations center, encompassing both the Network Operations Center (NOC) and the Security Operations Center (SOC).

In the NOC, we monitor and operate critical network services, infrastructure, and platforms to ensure stability, performance, and high availability. In the SOC, we combine monitoring, response capability, and forensics expertise to deliver continuous protection, 24/7.

The teams are closely connected to both the CISO function and Sicra’s consulting and professional environment, ensuring that insights from both network and security operations are rapidly translated into action.

At the same time, we maintain a clear and important principled balance: The SOC operates independently. This means that the security function is not mixed with operations, and this independence is a fundamental quality.

Potential conflicts of interest that can arise when operational responsibility and audit functions are combined are avoided.

The operations center represents our world-class operations, response, and monitoring capability: Always on, always present.

The holistic approach that makes the difference

Our holistic understanding of networks, infrastructure, and security needs across IT and OT enables us to provide unique and comprehensive cybersecurity support to our customers. This holistic approach is essential to helping organizations modernize, digitalize, and develop their platforms in a secure and cost-effective way, where security, availability, and business objectives are closely aligned.

Our holistic security delivery is reflected in the three areas of our security triangle:

  • Security leadership.

  • Consulting, professional, and OT environment.

  • Operations center with NOC/SOC.

It is the sum of all of this that makes Sicra unique. While others deliver individual services, Sicra is a holistic security partner, from strategy and governance to monitoring, operations, OT security, and continuous development.

We build bridges between business objectives, cybersecurity, and the operation of critical infrastructure.

Security is no longer just about technology, it is about an organization’s ability to be resilient, adapt, and stand firm when it truly matters. With Bluetree’s employees joining Sicra, we are stronger than ever in helping our customers achieve exactly that. Together, we are building one of the leading IT and OT security environments in the Nordic region. And we are only at the beginning.
