OT Security Implementation — Sample Engagement Overview

About this sample: This document represents the output of the thinking. The value is in the conversations that produced it — the site walk, the stakeholder interviews, the engineering judgements made along the way. What you are reading is the record. The work that matters happened before the first page was written.

Change Log

Change ID	System	Change Description	Verification
SI-C001	OT Firewall	Zone/conduit architecture implemented. IT-to-OT traffic restricted to [N] approved paths. All other IT-OT traffic denied by default.	✓ Rule set tested. Process comms confirmed unaffected.
SI-C004	VPN Gateway	Shared vendor VPN credential removed. Individual accounts created for [N] vendors. MFA enabled. Session recording deployed.	✓ Vendor access tested. Recording confirmed active.
SI-C008	Engineering Workstations (×[N])	USB storage disabled via GPO. Application whitelist deployed. Local admin privileges removed from operator accounts.	✓ Functional testing passed. Engineering tools confirmed operational.
SI-C012	OT Network	Passive monitoring sensor deployed on OT network trunk. Alert configuration completed. Integration to SOC confirmed.	✓ Known assets detected. Baseline established.
