Safety is the starting point
IEC 62443 meets IEC 61511 and ISA TR84.00.09. Cyber threats to your safety functions belong in the same conversation as process risk.
Protecting what keeps your plant running.
People, process and technology, from the first drawing to the last shift.
01 / Why OT-Knight
Your plant should run with safety, security, reliability and productivity. We bring OT cybersecurity and functional safety together, with programmes that fit a control room, a turnaround schedule and a safety case.

02 / Our services
Start with the challenge in front of you. Our six service families connect strategy, engineering and day-to-day operation.
A / Governance & compliance
Unify IT and OT governance and build a compliance approach around the jurisdictions in which you operate.
IEC 62443 integrated with ISO/IEC 27001: a combined management system and Statement of Applicability, practical OT procedures, and readiness for ISO/IEC 27001 and ISASecure ACSSA.
Site and entity scoping, a group baseline mapped to national regimes, supervisor-ready evidence and incident reporting. Support includes, for example, Belgian CyFun® and the UK NCSC CAF. We adapt to your jurisdiction.
A functional safety and cybersecurity management plan aligned with IEC 62443 and IEC 61511, including project gates, EPC handover, acceptance criteria, management of change and KPIs.
Guidance from ML1 to ML3: eligibility, scoping, zone partition, gap assessment, mock evaluation and support through certification.
IEC 62443-2-4 requirements in tenders and contracts, vendor assessments, third-party registers and CRA conformity requirements for purchased products.
Support for manufacturers and integrators: product classification, conformity route, risk assessment, secure development, vulnerability handling and technical documentation.
B / Risk & priorities
Make investment decisions with a clear view of consequence, maturity and the controls your plant needs.
ISO 31000, IEC 62443 and ISO/IEC 27005 brought together on your HSE risk matrix. Deliverables include risk criteria, methodology, a risk register and treatment workflow.
System under consideration, zones and conduits, high-level and detailed risk assessments, target security levels and a Cybersecurity Requirements Specification.
Assess cyber threats to SIS and safety functions, guided by IEC 61511 and ISA TR84.00.09. Feed findings into HAZOP, LOPA, BPCS/SIS interface decisions and the SRS.
Measure your position against IEC 62443, ISO/IEC 27001, NIS2, UK NIS, CRA or ACSSA criteria, with maturity scoring and a roadmap planned around your turnarounds.
C / Engineering & assurance
Turn your target security level into a design basis, manage delivery and collect the evidence that it works.
IEC 62443-3-3 requirements translated into technical specifications for segmentation, remote access and recovery, governing EPC and vendor delivery.
A named lead for your OT cybersecurity function: objectives, project steering, tool selection, terms of reference, audit readiness and on-call advice.
Segmentation, the IT/OT secure interface, remote access, hardening, accounts, backup and monitoring. From scope and vendor selection to oversight and closure evidence.
Security level verification, cyber FAT and SAT, OT assessments, penetration testing and audits, conducted with live plant conditions in mind. Test protocols, witnessed reports and a findings register.
D / Operational resilience
Look beyond the documents to the way your site runs, responds and recovers.
Architecture, remote access, accounts, backups, removable media and daily practice. Receive a score per IEC 62443-2-1 SPE and IEC 62443-3-3 FR, top risks and a 90-day action plan.
Response plans, scenario playbooks, escalation matrices and tabletop exercises, aligned with plant safety emergency response and regulatory reporting duties.
OT business impact analysis, recovery time and recovery point objectives, restore procedures and tests, combining IEC 62443 availability requirements with continuity practice.
Define monitoring requirements, select providers and manage performance independently of any SOC vendor. Deliverables include a scope of work and KPI framework.
E / Training & competence
Practical learning for operators, engineers, contractors and management boards, grounded in real plant-floor experience.
ISA/IEC 62443 courses IC32, IC33, IC34, IC37 and IC49, plus PECB NIS2, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 31000 courses. Delivered through our authorised training provider by our ISA Qualified Instructor and PECB Certified Trainer.
Tailored sessions for operators, technicians, engineers, contractors and management boards, including NIS2 management-body training.
F / Functional safety
Aligned with the IEC 61511 safety lifecycle. We support operators and manufacturers from the first design to operation and renewal, with functional safety and OT cybersecurity in the same conversation.
We build and run the management system that keeps your SIS safe throughout its life, on an operating site or within a capital project: ready for assessment, with a clear handover into operation.
Independent FSAs at every lifecycle stage, from hazard and risk analysis and the SRS to commissioning, operation and modification, plus audits that check your procedures are followed.
We write or review the SRS for each safety instrumented function: safe state, trip points, response times, SIL target, bypass and reset rules, and proof test requirements.
PFD, hardware fault tolerance, architectural constraints and systematic capability checked against each SIL target: an independent calculation you can defend in an assessment.
Proof test procedures and interval optimisation, demand and failure tracking, bypass management, and review of SIS modifications once the SIS is running.
We guide you in choosing the certification body and through the whole process. We have led an FSMS to exida certification, so we know the route first-hand.
Awareness sessions, tailored IEC 61511 training and coaching on your own projects, from the control room to the board.
One partner / The whole lifecycle
From the first drawing
to the last shift.
With you all along the lifecycle. We accompany you as your OT cybersecurity function, from objectives and projects to audits.
Your dedicated OT cybersecurity function
