Why timely OT Incident Response matters?
In industrial environments, every second counts. A delayed or uncoordinated response to a cyber-attack on your Operational Technology (OT) can lead to:
Unplanned downtime
Safety risks to personnel and equipment
Regulatory fines and reputational damage
Shieldworkz’ Incident Response Readiness Assessment equips your team with the tools, plans, frameworks, playbooks and expertise to tackle threats head-on, keeping your operations up and running and your people safe.

Our Incident Response assessment framework
We evaluate your IR posture across six critical pillars:
1. RealTime detection, monitoring and response capabilities
Audit anomaly detection rules in your ICS/OT networks
Measure false positive rates and tune alerts for faster triage
2. IR Plans & Playbooks
Stress-test your documented SOPs and escalation flows
Benchmark plan effectiveness against industry best practices
3. Team Readiness & Training
Validate roles, responsibilities, and communication channels
Conduct tabletop exercises to strengthen cross-functional coordination
4. Communication & Escalation Protocols
Map handoffs between IT, OT, and third-party responders
Identify gaps that slow decision-making during incidents
5. Forensic Readiness & Recovery
Assess log aggregation, evidence preservation, and chain-of-custody
Verify restore-point accuracy to minimize downtime
6. Regulatory Reporting Capabilities
Evaluate speed and clarity of breach notifications
Ensure alignment with NERC CIP, NIST controls, IEC 62443, and local compliance mandates
