What OT cybersecurity services cover, and what they don't

OT cybersecurity services are the people side of securing a control network: assessing what you have, designing the fix, installing and configuring the hardware, and responding when something goes wrong. The partners listed here work in industrial environments, where uptime and safety come before everything else, and where a plant can't be restarted to apply a patch.

These aren't general IT managed services, and they aren't a product with a price tag. Each engagement is scoped to your site and quoted individually. OT Cyber Direct doesn't perform the work. We scope the project with you and introduce a partner whose skills and region match it, and the hardware they install can be specified and priced on this site first.

Most projects start one of three ways: an assessment to find out where you stand, an installation job for hardware you have already chosen, or an insurance or compliance requirement with a deadline attached. Tell us which one you have, and we'll point you to the right partner.

Before you ask for a quote, it helps to have three things ready: a rough count of sites and networked devices, the audit finding, insurer questionnaire or grant requirement behind the work, and the date it is due. A partner can scope from that, and it keeps the first call short.

Which service partner fits which job

Three partners are listed today, and they don't overlap much. One builds security programs and handles incidents, one designs and installs the network, and one covers the financial risk that is left over.

Who uses OT Cyber Direct service partners

Asset owners without a security team

You run a water system, a plant or a co-op, and security is one of several jobs you have. An assessment tells you what is connected, where the gaps are and what to fix first, in a report you can hand to a board, an insurer or a grant program. From there, a partner can install the fixes.

Tools for OT security assessments

Teams that have already bought hardware

You ordered TAPs, a firewall or a segmentation gateway and need someone to install and commission it. Listed partners provide remote and on-site installation support for products sold here, so the handoff from purchase to working system stays in one thread.

Question not listed? Email info@otcyberdirect.com or call (508) 289-1195.

How much does an OT security assessment cost?

Every engagement is quoted individually, because the cost depends on the number of sites, the size of the network and how much of the work is on site. Send us the scope and we'll introduce a partner who will quote it.

What does an OT security assessment include?

It varies by partner and scope. Typical work includes an inventory of connected devices, a review of how IT and OT are separated, a check of remote access paths and a prioritized list of fixes. Ask for the deliverables in writing before the work starts.

Does OT Cyber Direct do the work itself?

No. The partners on this page do the work under their own agreement with you. Our part is to scope the project with you, make the introduction, and supply the hardware if the project needs any.

Can a partner install hardware I bought here?

Yes. Enaxy lists remote and on-site installation support for OT Cyber Direct products, and Coastal Industrial Technologies deploys firewalls, segmentation and monitoring tools. OT Cyber Direct also provides first-level installation support on the hardware it sells.

Do I need an assessment before I buy hardware?

Not always. If you already know the gap, such as a flat network or no monitoring feed, you can specify the hardware directly. If you don't know what is connected or where the risk is, an assessment first will stop you buying the wrong thing.

Do you cover my region?

Coastal Industrial Technologies serves the northeast US and Enaxy is based in Dallas. For other regions, ask. The marketplace is open to integrators and assessment firms, and we'll tell you plainly if we don't have a fit.

Why is cyber insurance listed with security services?

Because an insurer's questionnaire often asks about the same controls an assessment covers. CyberSecure Insurance advises on cyber and financial risk and collects quotes from multiple carriers for small and medium businesses.

What is the difference between an OT assessment and a penetration test?

An assessment reviews the network, its devices and its controls to find gaps, usually without attacking anything. A penetration test tries to exploit those gaps to prove what an intruder could reach. On a live control network a penetration test needs tight scoping and operations sign-off, so many sites start with an assessment.

How do I become a listed service partner?

Apply through the OT services marketplace page. The form asks for your name, work email and company, and takes under a minute. Listings show your services, regions, industries and the frameworks you support.
