Operational technology security that respects production.
F Creative Studio 360 helps manufacturers and industrial operators in any country see how plant networks are reached, and how to separate them without stopping the line.
The plant is not an office network.
IEC 62443 is the language most plants can share, in any country. It is a standard to align with. F Creative Studio 360 does not certify a site against it.
Visibility comes before a change. Active testing on a live process is allowed only with written authorisation, an approved window and a stop condition. It is not a denial-of-service test.
- Uptime is a requirement
- A recommendation that stops production is not a recommendation we hand over casually.
- IT and OT stay distinct
- A finding on a corporate laptop is not written as if it were a controller.
- Remote vendors
- Maintenance access is often the path in. It is reviewed by name.
- No product is required
- We do not insist on a named industrial firewall or monitoring brand.
What can be in scope
Sites and lines you name. Not every factory in the group by default.
- Zones
- How the plant is, or is not, separated from the office and from the internet.
- Remote access
- Who can reach a controller, and from where.
- Visibility
- What you can see without interrogating a live controller.
- The standard
- Gaps against the IEC 62443 requirements you choose to be measured on.
How an engagement runs
Plants in different countries can be phased. Each site has its own window.
- 1
Walk the process
What must not stop, and who can approve a change.
- 2
Prefer passive visibility
Active checks only in the written window.
- 3
Write the zones
A path to separation the operations team can accept.
- 4
Leave the change with the plant
Implementation is in scope only when it is written in.
What you receive
- A view of the sites and the paths in scope.
- Remote-access findings.
- A segmentation path aligned to IEC 62443 where that was the measure.
- No certificate.
The controller itself
Programmable controllers, SCADA and safety systems are described on the industrial control systems page. This page is the plant network around them.
Common questions
Will you scan the production line?+
Not by default. Passive visibility is the starting point. Anything active is scheduled with the people who run the line.
Is IEC 62443 only for one country?+
No. It is an international series. A local critical-infrastructure law is added only when that site is subject to it.
Where do you deliver this?+
For organisations in any country. A local rule is used only when that organisation is actually subject to it. F Creative Studio 360 does not limit the work to one jurisdiction.
How much does it cost, and how long does it take?+
It depends on the systems in scope and whether you want an assessment only or help afterwards. A scoping conversation with F Creative Studio 360 is the way to get a quote. There is no obligation to proceed.
See the plant network before you segment it.
F Creative Studio 360 will look at the sites and the constraints, then say what a safe review includes.
