SCADA/ICS & OT Security Assessment
Operational technology runs the physical world — and downtime or safety failures aren't options. We assess your SCADA, ICS and OT environments with a safety-first methodology, finding risk without ever disrupting critical operations.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.
Signed authorization required. This engagement is performed only against systems you own or are contractually authorized to have tested, under an agreed scope. See the responsible testing policy.
What's covered
- OT/ICS architecture and segmentation review
- Safety-first, passive assessment methodology
- IT/OT boundary and remote-access security
- Legacy-protocol and device-exposure analysis
- Vulnerability identification without disruption
- Compliance alignment (e.g. IEC 62443)
What you receive
- OT/ICS security assessment report
- Architecture and segmentation findings
- Risk-prioritised remediation roadmap
- Safety-conscious recommendations
- Executive summary
Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Signed scope firstTesting starts only after written scope and signed authorization for systems you own or are entitled to have tested.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Safety and availability come first — no disruptive testing on live OT
- Only your own environment, with authorisation
- Active testing only in approved, non-production conditions
- Implementation by your team with vendor coordination
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- Will assessment disrupt our operations?
- No. OT assessment demands a safety-first approach — we rely on passive analysis and documentation review for live environments, and only do active testing in approved non-production settings. Availability and safety always come first.
- Do you understand industrial protocols?
- Yes — we assess environments using Modbus, DNP3, OPC and similar, and understand the constraints of legacy OT that can't simply be patched like IT.
- What do you need from us?
- Network diagrams, asset inventories, and access for interviews and passive review. Any active testing is planned jointly with your engineers and vendors.

Assume an attacker is already inside — a phished laptop, a rogue device, a malicious insider. We test how far they could get, showing you the lateral-movement paths and privilege escalations that turn one foothold into a full compromise.

The cheapest vulnerabilities to fix are the ones you design out. We review your system architecture against threats and best practice to find structural weaknesses before they become expensive incidents.
