OT cybersecurity and industrial NIS2 compliance

B2C Engineering supports manufacturers in the operational structuring of their OT cybersecurity, from complete system visibility to the implementation of technical solutions integrated into production environments.

Our approach is based on direct intervention at active industrial sites, with existing architectures, real operating constraints and stringent production continuity requirements.

NIS2 applied to industrial reality

The directive requires industrial organisations to formalise, structure and demonstrate their OT cybersecurity controls. It does not create the issue, but it does make inaction impossible.

To understand the regulatory context and sectoral issues relating to NIS2,
please also see our dedicated testimonials page.

Expertise built at the heart of OT environments

Our experience in industrial cybersecurity was built directly on production lines, long before the current regulatory framework was established.

Our approach consists of integrating cybersecurity into actual operations without disrupting industrial processes.

Constrained industrial environments

  • Critical legacy systems
  • Limited shutdown windows
  • Complex technical dependencies
  • Imperative production continuity

The most commonly observed OT cybersecurity challenges

In most industrial environments, production is well controlled.
However, OT cybersecurity often remains heterogeneous in its overall organisation.

Incomplete inventory of industrial assets

OT assets not clearly identified

Gradual increase in technical access

Protections deployed in a non-uniform manner

NIS2 compliance involves moving from local, empirical control to structured global governance.

Our approach to structuring OT cybersecurity

We treat industrial cybersecurity as a structural programme that is integrated into site operations.
Our approach is based on four complementary technical areas.

Complete visibility of the OT environment

Objective: to have a reliable and usable representation of the industrial system.

Technical access governance

Objective: to control and track all interactions with industrial systems.

Control of introduction vectors

Objective: to reduce the risk of incidents occurring in the industrial environment.

Structuring IT/OT architecture

Objective: to strengthen resilience and limit the spread of incidents.
