Functional Safety & Cybersecurity Frameworks

Safe, secure control systems from design through to operation.

We help you build and evidence a framework that keeps safety-related control systems reliable and protected — combining functional safety practice with the cyber security controls that industrial and connected systems now depend on.

What's included

  • Review of safety-related control systems and current arrangements
  • Hazard and risk assessment leading to required safety performance levels
  • Safety requirement specifications and verification records
  • Cyber security risk assessment for industrial and connected systems
  • Access control, network segregation and change management procedures
  • Incident response, testing and ongoing assurance records

Ideal for: Manufacturing, process, energy and facilities operators running safety-related or connected control systems.
