Operational technology (OT) is increasingly connected to IT systems and networks. At the same time, many industrial environments have been designed with stability and availability in focus, not necessarily security.
This creates a security landscape that can be difficult to fully understand.
An OT security maturity assessment from Sicra provides a structured evaluation of how your OT environment is protected and where the most important risks lie.
We assess architecture, networks, access controls, and operational processes against best practices for OT security.
How we help you
Through OT security maturity assessment, you gain a clear overview of the security posture in your OT environment, and we identify risks related to networks, access, and integrations. We assess segmentation and access controls, and provide insight into how IT and OT environments interact.
You’ll receive a prioritized roadmap for improvements, with the goal of strengthening security without compromising stability or operations.
Who the service is relevant for
This service is particularly relevant for organizations operating industrial systems or critical infrastructure, and those seeking better control over security in OT networks.
It is also well suited for organizations working with regulatory requirements or security standards, as well as those planning modernization or increased integration between IT and OT.
How the assessment is conducted
The process typically consists of four steps:
- Insight: We conduct interviews and workshops to understand the OT environment.
- Mapping: We analyze architecture, networks, and access models.
- Risk analysis: We evaluate maturity against established OT security principles and frameworks such as IEC 62443.
- Roadmap: We prioritize initiatives that can improve security in a controlled manner.
What you receive
Once the analysis is completed as part of the OT security maturity assessment, you’ll receive a maturity evaluation of your OT security, along with an overview of identified risks. You’ll get prioritized improvement actions and a roadmap for further development.
We also review the findings with relevant decision-makers, providing a solid foundation for next steps and prioritization.
Why OT security maturity assessment from Sicra
At Sicra, we start with how your OT environment is actually designed, the dependencies between IT and OT, and the requirements for stability and secure operations. An OT security maturity assessment is not just about evaluating your current level, it’s about understanding how risk emerges in the interaction between systems, networks, and operational processes.
We put findings into context and prioritize actions that deliver real impact without affecting availability and production. The result is a clear roadmap that helps you strengthen security, reduce vulnerabilities, and establish a more robust foundation for secure operations in OT environments.
