# OTCogniShield

> Plug-and-play OT security and risk intelligence for smaller manufacturers. Local passive visibility, engineering review and evidence preparation; pre-launch platform seeking controlled factory pilots and research evaluations.

OTCogniShield Ltd is based in Birmingham, UK (company number 17476467). Primary focus: smaller UK and European manufacturing sites. Site size and suitability are scoped individually; annual revenue does not establish fit or legal obligations.

The intended deployment uses a dedicated local edge appliance with an approved SPAN/TAP traffic copy. Protectli is the target hardware family; configuration and availability are agreed for each pilot. Website hardware artwork is illustrative. Monitoring is designed not to send active discovery probes or control commands and is not inline. This is not a zero-risk or complete-visibility guarantee.

Day-to-day monitoring is designed to operate without a continuous public-cloud dependency. Management connectivity, isolation, offline updates, retention and authorised exports are agreed before deployment. No routine raw-capture upload is required; do not infer that data can never leave an appliance.

Protocol families for scoped evaluation: Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP (ENIP), Siemens S7, OPC UA and MQTT. Available traffic, encryption, protocol variants and supported message types determine visibility.

Evidence preparation and engineering review can support consideration of NIS2 Article 21 risk-management measures, IEC 62443-3-2 risk assessment and SANS five critical ICS control themes. These references do not establish legal applicability, certification, endorsement or compliance. Technical controls and processes require implementation and validation by the asset owner. The sample PDF is a synthetic website example, not a live customer export or proof of automated compliance.

Published starting price: Core £3,500/year plus a £1,500 one-off appliance; deployment quoted separately. Supported £6,995/year is a proposed pilot offer with defined support allowances. Confirm terms and scope before ordering. No incident-loss reduction or ROI guarantee is made.

No university affiliation or WMG/University of Warwick partnership is claimed. Research and pilot enquiries are welcome.
