50% Cost Savings

Mid-sized Automotive Supplier

Challenge

NIS2 applicability was unclear, no internal resources for a compliance program across 5 locations.

Solution

Quick assessment of all locations, gap analysis against NIS2 & IEC 62443, and creation of a prioritized action plan within 4 weeks.

"We were NIS2 compliant in 12 weeks, instead of the planned 9 months. SecureKern didn't just advise us, they empowered us."

Full OT Transparency

Municipal Utility (Energy Provider)

Challenge

A historically grown SCADA landscape and an upcoming BSI audit required a complete overview of OT assets.

Solution

Passive network discovery across all OT networks, IEC 62443 gap assessment, and design of a zone model with firewall ruleset.

"For the first time, we really know what's running in our networks. The BSI audit was passed without objections."

Incident Response in 2h

Chemical Company

Challenge

After a ransomware attack on the office IT, there was panic: Is production affected? There were no documented IR processes.

Solution

Remote assessment and forensics within 4 hours of the call. Development of OT-specific IR playbooks in the following week.

"SecureKern gave us clarity in 2 hours so production could continue. The IR playbooks are worth their weight in gold."
