EXPERT CYBER SECURITY FOR THE SYSTEMS THAT KEEP YOUR PLANT RUNNING.
From risk reviews and network architecture to compliance preparation and major engineering projects, work directly with an OT/ICS specialist with over 13 years of hands-on industrial experience.
Clear priorities. Practical recommendations. Advice built around how your factory actually operates.
IEC 62443-2-4 — Service-provider and supplier requirements
IEC 62443-3-2 — Industrial risk assessment
IEC 62443-3-3 — System security requirements
IEC 62443-4-1 / 4-2 — Secure product development and technical requirements
02 — OT SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
DESIGNED AROUND PRODUCTION UPTIME.
A secure factory network still has to make product.
We design practical security architecture around the way your plant operates — protecting legacy equipment, controlling engineering access and creating clearer boundaries between business IT and operational systems.
KNOW WHAT COULD DISRUPT PRODUCTION — AND WHAT TO FIX FIRST.
Not every technical vulnerability creates the same operational risk.
We help you identify what could realistically affect production, understand the potential consequences and decide where your time and budget will make the greatest difference.
The result is a clear, practical risk register that engineering teams and management can both understand.
Cyber security is easier and more cost-effective to address while equipment, production lines and infrastructure are being designed than after they arrive on site.
We can join the project early and work alongside your engineers, OEMs, suppliers and system integrators through design, testing, commissioning and handover.
BE READY WHEN CUSTOMERS, INSURERS OR AUDITORS ASK FOR PROOF.
Cyber-security assurance is increasingly becoming part of doing business.
Customers, insurers, auditors and regulators may ask what controls are in place, what risks have been identified and what evidence sits behind your decisions.
We help you find the gaps, organise the evidence and prepare your team for external review.
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus preparation
NIS2 readiness and gap analysis
IEC 62443 assessment and certification preparation
Evidence gathering and audit-trail reviews
Official certification and legal compliance remain with the relevant certification and competent bodies.
CONSULTING + PLATFORM
EXPERT ADVICE THAT DOESN’T END WITH A PDF REPORT.
A risk assessment should not become a document that sits on a shelf.
By combining specialist consulting with OTCogniShield, you can move from a point-in-time review to an ongoing picture of your factory network.
We establish the baseline, agree the priorities and help you put the right controls in place.
OTCogniShield can then help you maintain visibility of observed assets, communications, risks and evidence after the consulting engagement is complete.
The platform is pre-launch. Deployment and ongoing visibility are subject to readiness, agreed scope and an approved passive collection point.

OBSERVED ASSET INVENTORY
A clear picture of the equipment visible across the agreed parts of your production network.
INDUSTRIAL RISK ASSESSMENT
Threats, operational consequences, ownership and practical actions aligned to IEC 62443-3-2.
ARCHITECTURE & SEGMENTATION PLAN
A prioritised roadmap for improving zones, communications and network boundaries.
COMPLIANCE READINESS PACK

SERIOUS OT CYBER SECURITY WITHOUT ENTERPRISE COMPLEXITY.
OTCogniShield consulting is designed for organisations that need specialist industrial cyber-security expertise without maintaining a large internal security team.
Our primary focus is smaller and mid-sized UK manufacturers, alongside industrial organisations and service providers facing similar operational pressures.
Manufacturing
Food & beverage
Automotive and precision engineering
Rail, water and energy
Logistics and warehousing
Building-management environments
MSPs and system integrators supporting industrial customers
Every engagement is scoped around your facility, your team, your risk and the resources you actually have.
THE BUSINESS COST OF DISRUPTION
WHEN PRODUCTION STOPS, THE COSTS ADD UP.
A cyber incident can interrupt output, delay customer deliveries and pull engineering and management teams into recovery when they should be running the business.
£330,000
Government-modelled average cost of a significant cyber attack in UK manufacturing.
OTCogniShield was founded by an OT/ICS cyber-security practitioner with over 13 years of hands-on specialist experience across demanding industrial environments.
Experience includes work with ADNOC, Maersk, Bechtel, DHL and GKN, across sectors including oil and gas, manufacturing, rail and chemicals.
The aim is straightforward:
Bring serious industrial cyber-security expertise to smaller manufacturers without bringing enterprise complexity with it.
