OT Penetration Test

A controlled offensive assessment of industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA and OT networks focused on safety, availability and process integrity, executed under strict change control to avoid operational impact.

Who needs this service

Operators of critical infrastructure, manufacturers, utilities and logistics providers must assess OT security to avoid safety incidents, regulatory penalties and operational downtime.

What the test includes

Engagement modes: Network-level and device-level testing, scoped to avoid production disruption. Key areas:

  • Network segmentation and zone enforcement (Purdue model validation)
  • Protocol and device testing (Modbus, DNP3, OPC UA, etc.) within safety constraints
  • Remote/vendor access, jump-hosts and maintenance channel review
  • Monitoring, telemetry and fail-safe control validation

 

Final Deliverables

A detailed OT penetration report, including:

Executive Summary

focused on safety and business impact

Technical Findings

with controlled evidence and mitigation guidance safe for OT environments

Methodology

based on NIST 800-82, MITRE ATT&CK for ICS and industry best practices

Optional

tabletop drill and executive briefing

Available extensions:

Network monitoring tuning, IR playbook adaptation for OT, re-test after remediation.
