Developing an OT-Inclusive Incident Response Plan
(Aligned with the 5 Critical Controls for OT Security)

Manufacturing companies and operators of critical infrastructure must have an Incident Response (IR) plan that includes the operational technology (OT) environment. Industrial control systems are the core of production—and, often, the core of the business itself. Yet, many organizations still only maintain an IR plan for their IT systems, which are typically limited to administrative and support functions.

A common mistake is to treat incident response as something to address after all other cybersecurity work is done. Incident response should be a starting point. By considering incident response early, the organization uncovers what it truly needs in terms of visibility, expertise, and resources when a cyberattack becomes a reality.

A well-developed Incident Response Plan for OT should be built through structured planning and practical exercises.

We support your organization with a complete OT incident response approach, including:

✅ Incident Response Planning
We work with you to develop or update your IR plan to fully include OT—ensuring coordination across IT and operations.

✅ Tabletop Exercises
We facilitate OT-focused tabletop exercises that simulate real-world attack scenarios. Your team will practice response actions, uncover blind spots, and strengthen internal communication.

✅ Risk-Driven Customization
We tailor your IR plan to your risk profile, system architecture, and regulatory obligations—including IEC 62443, SL2 and NIS2 requirements.

✅ Tools and Products for Incident Readiness
We offer backup & Recovery, visibility, segmentation, and access control solutions that support fast detection and containment of cyber incidents.
