Securing production environments and quality systems in manufacturing sectors operating under regulatory oversight.
Regulated manufacturers must satisfy ISO 9001 quality management requirements alongside ISO 27001 information security controls. OSHA regulations govern workplace safety systems that increasingly intersect with cyber risk. SOC 2 is required where manufacturers operate as service providers or handle customer data.
MES, ERP, quality management systems, and production line control systems require protection that accounts for legacy technology, OT protocols, and production uptime requirements.
Production floor access, remote maintenance by vendors, and change control across quality systems require strict identity governance with full audit trails.
Downtime in regulated manufacturing carries significant financial and compliance consequences. Supply chain cyber risks, ransomware, and IP theft are primary threat vectors.
