OT and IoT Risk Assessment and Gap Analysis
A risk assessment and gap analysis project can help identify and prioritize unaddressed security challenges and vulnerabilities. It can form the foundation for a robust enterprise security program and offer actionable insights in areas such as security KPIs, budgets, resource allocation, operational practices, risk and threat exposure, robustness of governance measures, and overall security posture.
It can identify vulnerabilities and gaps concerning technology, processes, people, architectures and supply chains and prioritize them for remedial attention. The findings of a risk assessment and gap analysis exercise can be deployed to frame an OT, ICS and IoT security roadmap or to act to address immediate security challenges on priority. As systems evolve, the risk and threat assessment practices and methodology should also evolve to cover new threats and gaps. Conducting an OT security assessment without the help of an experienced partner can, however, be a daunting task.

How Sectrio helped a large enterprise meet its security assessment goals
The enterprise had conducted an OT security risk and gap assessment recently but was not satisfied with the results. Sectrio was given the project after it convinced the security team of the enterprise about its capabilities.
The team was given capabilities 5 days to complete the exercise across 3 plants in different locations. After Sectrio assessment team conducted the assessment, the team did a readout of the findings in front of the entire security team of the enterprise. 73 major issues and 198 minor ones were uncovered by Sectrio’s team. The enterprise used the report to address the gaps.
Further, Sectrio was chosen to prepare an OT and IoT security roadmap for the company along with an OT governance policy.
