ISA Security Audit

ISA’s Industrial Security Assessment (ISA) security audit focuses on assessing and analyzing the security of industrial systems, including industrial control systems (ICS) and other technologies used in industrial environments. The goal is to identify potential threats and security vulnerabilities that could affect the business continuity, safety and reliability of critical industrial operations.

Service Description:

The audit includes a comprehensive analysis of industrial control systems (ICS) and other industrial technologies. It begins with a preliminary analysis of the infrastructure, proceeds through risk assessment, penetration testing, configuration analysis, and evaluates policies and procedures. The goal is to identify security vulnerabilities and threats that could affect the business continuity, security and reliability of critical industrial operations.

Main stages of the audit:

• Initial analysis: Gather information on the current state of the infrastructure, including documentation, network diagrams, asset list, and security-related policies and procedures.
• Risk Assessment: Identify potential threats and assess the risk associated with each threat. This includes analysis of attack scenarios, potential threat vectors, and effects on the organization.
• Configuration analysis: A review of device and system configurations to identify potential weaknesses, such as outdated software, unsecured communication interfaces or missing updates.
• Evaluation of policies and procedures: Analyze current security policies, procedures and practices to identify areas for improvement.
• Reporting: Prepare a detailed report outlining the results of the audit, including identified security gaps, recommendations for corrective actions, and risk management strategies.

An ISA security audit is a key component of a risk management strategy for industrial organizations. By thoroughly analyzing and assessing industrial systems, organizations can better understand their vulnerabilities, make informed decisions about security investments and ensure business continuity in the face of growing cyber threats.

Customer benefits:

The benefits of conducting an ISA audit include increasing security awareness, protecting against losses, ensuring regulatory compliance, and optimizing security investments.

• Increase awareness: Understand the current state of industrial system security and potential threats.
• Loss protection: Prevent potential attacks that could lead to business interruption, financial loss or reputational damage.
• Regulatory compliance: Ensuring that the organization complies with regulatory and industry requirements for safety.
• Optimizing investments: Direct resources and investments to the most critical areas that need strengthening.

For whom it is intended:

The service is aimed at industrial organizations that want to secure their industrial systems against growing cyber threats.
