Managed IT Services for Manufacturing
Secure production systems, protect OT/IT networks, achieve CMMC compliance, and keep your factory running with managed IT services built for manufacturers.
OT/IT Convergence Demands Specialized IT
Connecting plant floor systems to enterprise networks creates attack surfaces that standard IT tools were not designed to address.
Production Security
- Purdue Model network segmentation with industrial DMZ between IT and OT
- OT-specific monitoring for Modbus, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and OPC UA
- Passive asset discovery that never disrupts PLCs or production controllers
- Ransomware protection for MES, ERP, and CNC program libraries
Supply Chain Compliance
- CMMC certification for defense supply chain manufacturers
- NIST 800-171 implementation for CUI protection
- ISO 27001 readiness for international customer requirements
- TISAX, AS9100, and sector-specific compliance support
Managed IT for Manufacturers
Every service accounts for uptime demands, legacy systems, and compliance frameworks that govern modern manufacturing.
OT Network Security
Passive monitoring that identifies every asset on your industrial network, detects unauthorized PLC changes, and alerts on anomalous traffic without disrupting production processes.
IT/OT Network Segmentation
Purdue Model architecture with IDMZ, VLAN configuration, firewall rules for industrial protocols, and data diodes for one-way OT-to-IT data flow. Cybersecurity services
CMMC for Defense Supply Chain
Gap assessments, SSP development, POA&M creation, CUI scoping, and C3PAO assessment preparation for manufacturers at every tier of the defense supply chain. CMMC guide
Backup and Disaster Recovery
Automated encrypted backups for MES databases, ERP systems, PLC programs, HMI configurations, robot teach files, and CNC programs with recovery times based on your production downtime cost. DR services
Cloud Migration for Manufacturing
Hybrid architectures that keep latency-sensitive MES and SCADA on-premises while moving ERP, email, and collaboration to the cloud. AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Cloud services
Security Awareness Training
Training tailored for manufacturing environments covering phishing, removable media policies for the plant floor, and secure remote access for engineers. Training programs
Unsecured Factory vs. Protected Production
Flat Network, No Segmentation
Office PCs and PLCs share the same subnet. A phishing email can reach production controllers.
No OT Visibility
Unknown assets on the industrial network with no monitoring for unauthorized changes or anomalous traffic.
Ransomware Stops Production
No backups of PLC programs, MES databases, or CNC files. A single attack halts manufacturing for weeks.
Purdue Model Segmentation
Industrial DMZ controls all traffic between plant floor and enterprise network with protocol-aware firewalls.
Complete OT Asset Inventory
Every PLC, HMI, and controller identified with passive monitoring detecting unauthorized changes in real time.
Rapid Production Recovery
Encrypted backups of all production data with recovery objectives aligned to your cost-per-hour of downtime.

Built for Manufacturers
Manufacturing IT FAQ
Can you patch OT systems without stopping production?
Many OT systems run embedded operating systems that cannot be patched without risking production stability. We use compensating controls -- network segmentation, protocol-aware monitoring, and access restrictions -- to protect systems that cannot be patched on standard schedules. Patches are applied during planned maintenance windows.
Do manufacturers need CMMC certification?
Manufacturers in the defense supply chain that handle CUI must achieve CMMC Level 2 certification. Prime contractors are already requiring compliance from subcontractors and sub-tier suppliers. Manufacturers not actively working toward certification risk losing defense contracts. Learn about CMMC.
Will OT security tools disrupt our production systems?
No. We deploy passive monitoring tools that observe industrial network traffic without sending any traffic to OT devices. Unlike IT vulnerability scanners that can crash PLCs, our OT security platforms understand industrial protocols and never interfere with real-time control processes. View cybersecurity services.
What about air-gapped OT environments?
Air-gapping provides strong isolation but is not complete security. USB drives used to transfer programs can carry malware into isolated networks (Stuxnet demonstrated this). We implement USB device control, secure data transfer stations, and physical access procedures to reduce bridging risk.
Do you support MES and ERP platforms?
Yes. We provide infrastructure support for SAP, Oracle, Epicor, Infor, Plex, and IQMS including server optimization, database tuning, MES-to-ERP integration, and user access management. View managed IT services.
How do you protect production data from ransomware?
Layered defenses including network segmentation, endpoint detection, OT-specific monitoring, and comprehensive backups of PLC programs, HMI configurations, robot teach files, CNC programs, and MES/ERP databases. Recovery objectives are defined by your cost per hour of production downtime. Backup and DR services.
