Scoped, managed protection for connected manufacturing
Smart factory security starts by defining the assessment boundary. CSS maps CUI data flows, production dependencies, user access, cloud tools, and supplier touchpoints before controls are selected. This helps separate regulated assets from general business systems, identify where enclaves may reduce scope, and prevent unnecessary tool spend. You get documented scope, clearer risk priorities, and a control plan tied to factory reality.
Connected manufacturing environments depend on visibility. CSS supports asset categorization across engineering workstations, mobile devices, servers, network equipment, and connected production systems. The process helps identify which assets process, store, or transmit sensitive information, which ones support critical operations, and which should be segmented. Better inventory means better control decisions, cleaner evidence, and fewer hidden compliance gaps.
Remote maintenance, engineering access, and supplier collaboration need strict controls without blocking production. CSS implements secure remote access using VPN, MFA, role-based access control, login auditing, and identity management. This gives your team a practical way to manage who can access factory systems, when access occurs, and how activity is reviewed. The outcome is stronger accountability and fewer unmanaged entry points.
Smart factories need protection that can respond beyond business hours. CSS provides managed EDR/XDR with 24/7 U.S.-based SOC response, DNS filtering, threat prevention, patch management, and device hardening. These services help detect suspicious activity, reduce common attack paths, and keep endpoints aligned with the security baseline. You gain continuous operational oversight without needing to build an internal SOC.
Compliance readiness depends on documentation that matches the real environment. CSS supports policy and procedure templates for CMMC and NIST 800-171, SSP and POA&M management, compliance dashboard reporting, and mock assessment preparation. Instead of treating evidence as a last-minute task, documentation is maintained as part of daily operations. This gives leadership clearer visibility into readiness, gaps, owners, and next steps.
Modern factories often run on a mix of production systems, Microsoft 365, mobile devices, email, and cloud services. CSS brings these layers into one managed framework with GCC and GCC High Microsoft 365 options, data loss prevention, email encryption, phishing defense, mobile device protection, and FIPS 140-2 validated encryption where required. The result is coordinated protection for the systems that keep production and compliance moving.
Smart factories connect production systems, engineering workstations, cloud platforms, mobile devices, and suppliers. That connection improves output, but it also makes scope discipline essential. Before tools are added, CSS helps define what is in scope, where sensitive data moves, and which assets require control.
The result is a practical security program built around factory operations. You gain clearer asset categorization, safer remote access, managed endpoint protection, identity controls, compliance documentation, and reporting that supports CMMC, NIST 800-171, and broader cyber readiness expectations. The goal is not to slow production down. It is to protect connected manufacturing environments with controls that fit the way work actually happens.
Smart factory security works best when operational technology, business IT, and compliance evidence are managed as one system. CSS focuses on controls that protect production continuity while supporting regulated manufacturing requirements.
Manufacturers supporting defense contracts often need more than cybersecurity monitoring. They need evidence, documentation, and a defensible assessment boundary. CSS starts with scoping, then designs the right mix of enclaves, secure access, identity management, endpoint protection, and compliance support.
This approach helps reduce unnecessary work by proving what is actually in scope before implementation. For teams without dedicated security staff, the managed framework brings together hardware, software, help desk support for full-service clients, policy templates, POA&M and SSP management, and a compliance concierge. You get a clearer path from current-state risk to readiness without a rip-and-replace sales approach.
Map your factory risks, reduce scope, and plan practical next steps.
You receive end-to-end cybersecurity and compliance solutions purpose-built for manufacturing environments. This includes CUI data flow mapping, asset categorization, secure remote access with VPN and MFA, managed EDR/XDR with 24/7 U.S.-based SOC response, patch management, DNS threat prevention, and role-based access controls. Comprehensive documentation supports CMMC and NIST 800-171 requirements, with ongoing compliance dashboard reporting and mock assessment preparation. Every engagement starts with a scoping process so you only pay for what is actually in scope.
Smart factories security starts by mapping your OT and IT assets and defining exactly what needs protection. This approach allows you to:
The process begins with a thorough scoping engagement to identify CUI data flows, categorize assets, and validate your assessment boundary. Next, controls are implemented around the defined scope, including network protection, endpoint security, and secure remote access. Ongoing management includes patching, threat detection, compliance documentation, dashboard reporting, and mock assessments to keep you audit-ready. Throughout, the focus stays on operational reality, protecting what matters most without overbuilding.
Typical implementation timelines are 90 to 180 days, depending on your current security posture and regulatory requirements. Cost is directly tied to the scoping process, only assets and systems within compliance boundaries are included, so you avoid paying for unnecessary coverage. Pricing is transparent, with all-in-one packaging for managed tiers and clear options for add-ons if your environment requires them. A free initial call is available to estimate your project scope and budget.
This service is distinguished by starting every project with comprehensive scope definition, so you only pay for what is actually in compliance scope. Unlike generic MSSPs, you benefit from integrated support spanning hardware, software, managed security, and compliance documentation, all built for regulated manufacturing environments. Backed by 24/7 U.S.-based SOC, 23 NIST State MEP partnerships, and deep CMMC expertise, you gain a partner who stands beside you at every audit step, not just a tool vendor.
