Industrial & Manufacturing
Security Audits

A plant floor was built for throughput, not for defense, and the OT network proves it. We test the perimeter, the loading dock, the control system, and the seam where IT meets OT the way an adversary would, then hand you a plan that protects production without pretending you can replace the line. We sell no hardware and no ICS platform.

What We Test

Legacy OT Vulnerabilities

Aging control systems lack modern security and cannot always be patched. We map where they leave the plant reachable and what contains the risk.

Supply Chain Risk

Every vendor and integrator is a path in. We assess the access your supply chain holds and whether it is scoped and monitored.

IT / OT Convergence

IoT and ICS bridges create gaps that need both cyber and physical safeguards. We test the seam where the two networks meet.

Compliance Pressure

Industry and safety regulations demand controls that hold. We test the ones protecting operational data and worker safety.

Downtime & Loss

A security incident on the line is a production outage with a dollar figure. We rank findings by their real effect on uptime.

Physical Access

Docks, yards, and control rooms invite entry. We test whether the perimeter and access controls hold against a real approach.

How We Approach It

A manufacturing audit respects that downtime is the real cost. We test physical entry to the facility and the control room, map where legacy OT and IoT devices bridge to the business network, and probe the supply-chain access that vendors and integrators quietly hold. Findings are ranked by their effect on production and safety, with compensating controls where replacing a system is not on the table.

Operational
$7.5k+

Structured walk-through assessment against the full control framework, exterior and interior, plus an external network vulnerability scan. The baseline every facility should have on file.

Axe Tactical · Recommended
$25k+

Full adversarial engagement: unannounced physical penetration attempts, social entry testing, and converged penetration testing of the network. You learn what a real adversary learns, before one does.

Conflict-free by design: we sell no hardware and no software, so every finding is unbiased. Compare all assessment tiers.

Common Questions

Do you test OT and ICS without stopping the line?

Yes. We assess OT and ICS exposure through passive reconnaissance, configuration review, and network mapping, not intrusive testing against live control systems. We identify the exposure without touching production.

Can you assess supply chain access?

Yes. We map the physical and network access that vendors, integrators, and contractors hold, and test whether that access is scoped, monitored, and revoked properly, since the supply chain is one of the most common paths onto a plant network.

What if we cannot replace legacy equipment?

That is the norm, and we plan for it. We recommend segmentation, monitoring, and compensating controls that reduce the exposure of systems you cannot patch or replace, rather than assuming a budget that does not exist.

Who is this for?

Manufacturers, industrial operators, warehousing and logistics, and distribution facilities across the Phoenix metro that run OT and cannot afford production downtime or a safety incident.
