OT & ICS Cybersecurity / Pacific Northwest

OT & ICS Cybersecurity
for the Pacific Northwest.

We prevent downtime, defend the physical infrastructure behind the region's most critical data centers and heavy manufacturers, and protect the systems platform vendors cannot reach alone — delivered as a hands-on service partnership, not a software license.

Core Services

Four practices.
One operational outcome.

Every engagement is engineered for facilities where a five-minute outage becomes a headline event — and scaled to serve businesses from single-site manufacturers to multi-campus data center operators.

Practice / 01

Data Center Operational Resilience

Deep assessments of the full operational stack — power, cooling, building management, access controls, and the OT networks that bind them. We surface the failure points a traditional IT audit misses.

  • BMS & DCIM review
  • Redundancy & failover analysis
  • Incident response readiness
Aligned: SOC 2 · PCI DSS
Practice / 02

OT Network Segmentation

Flat OT networks are the single most common cause of catastrophic ransomware spread. We design and validate Purdue-aligned segmentation that contains the blast radius before the next incident.

  • Purdue zone & conduit design
  • IT/OT boundary hardening
  • Firewall policy review & architecture
Aligned: IEC 62443 · NIST 800-82
Practice / 03

Physical Security Consulting

Cybersecurity does not end at the network edge. We evaluate the full physical envelope — cameras, RFID, door controllers, visitor management — and engineer improvements that hold up under audit and attack.

  • Camera placement & analytics
  • RFID & badge system review
  • Onsite red team engagements
Aligned: SOC 2 CC6 · PCI DSS Req. 9
Practice / 04

OT Penetration Testing

Controlled, safety-aware adversary emulation against your real environment — conducted by testers who understand that in OT, a reckless packet can stop a production line or endanger an operator.

  • ICS protocol-aware testing
  • IT-to-OT pivot simulations
  • Scenario-based threat modeling
Aligned: MITRE ATT&CK for ICS

Company

Built for the operations the rest of the industry overlooks.

Enterprise OT security platforms sell visibility and deliver dashboards that require a staffed SOC you may not have. We take the opposite path — a specialized consulting practice that embeds with your operations team, executes the work, and transfers the capability. The outcome is production continuity, defensible compliance, and a security posture your team actually owns.

We are Oregon-based and Pacific Northwest-focused by design. The systems here — hyperscale data centers along the Columbia River, precision and heavy manufacturers across the Willamette Valley — demand a partner who can be onsite in hours and who already understands the regional operating environment.

The PNW Advantage

We live where you operate.

A regional focus is not a marketing line — it is an operational commitment. Our clients get a security partner who shows up in person, knows the local infrastructure, and can be back onsite by morning when something changes.

I.

Regional fluency

Familiar with the hyperscale corridor, Valley manufacturers, and the regional grid and seismic considerations that shape facility decisions.

II.

Onsite response

A Portland headquarters means our consultants are measured in driving hours, not flight connections.

III.

Embedded partnership

We integrate with your operations and security leads as an extension of the team — not as a vendor reporting in from above.

IV.

Intelligence-informed

Every assessment is guided by industry-leading operational technology threat intelligence — not a generic vulnerability scanner.

Our Approach

A practice,
not a platform.

  1. 01

    Understand the operation

    We walk the floor, read the runbooks, and map the systems production actually depends on — before recommending a single control.

  2. 02

    Prioritize by business impact

    We rank findings by what they cost if exploited — lost production hours, safety exposure, compliance findings — not by generic CVSS scores.

  3. 03

    Deliver and transfer

    We implement the controls, document the evidence, and train your team to operate them — leaving capability behind, not just a report.

Trust & Authority

Rigor you can put in front
of an auditor, a board, or an adversary.

“In operational technology, the blast radius of a bad decision is measured in lost shifts, endangered workers, and six-figure hours of downtime. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement.”
— Cascadia OT Security · Practice Principles

Framework Alignment

Built on the standards that matter.

Every engagement maps cleanly to the frameworks your auditors, insurers, and boards already recognize.
