This Posture Check was developed by AG Solution — an OT security advisory firm with offices across Europe and the United States, working in complex manufacturing environments for nearly two decades. Our consultants have run OT security engagements across process industries, discrete manufacturing, and multi-site operations where production continuity is not a secondary concern — it is the constraint everything else is built around.
The four dimensions in this OT Security Posture Check reflect the sequence we follow in our own assessments: what needs to be understood first, and in what order, before any security control can be introduced safely.
How it works
- Answer 10 questions — under 5 minutes
- See your posture across four dimensions immediately
- Read a plain-language interpretation of what your specific results mean in operational terms
The Posture Check covers four dimensions: Visibility, Segmentation, Governance, and Incident Readiness — the sequence that determines whether an OT environment is managed, developing, or exposed.
Your results appear immediately. You'll have the chance to see your posture across all four dimensions, with a plain-language reading of where you stand, where the gaps are, and what they mean in operational terms.
The interpretation is specific to your answers, not a generic summary.
What the OT Security Posture Check covers
Visibility
Do you know what's on your OT network — and would you know within hours if that changed? Blind spots in asset inventory are where risk accumulates invisibly.
Segmentation
How far can an incident travel before it's contained? A well-segmented environment keeps a problem local. A flat network turns it into a plant-wide event.
Governance
Is there a named owner for OT security decisions at management level — or does accountability shift depending on who picks up the phone? Governance determines whether security is sustained or improvised.
Incident readiness
Does your response plan account for production continuity — not just IT recovery? And has it been tested under realistic conditions?
Most of the risks sitting in OT environments right now are not new. They are the result of systems that have grown more connected over time — to IT networks, to cloud platforms, to external vendors — without the visibility or governance structure to match.
The security initiatives meant to address this often create their own problems. Discovery activities, access changes, or network modifications applied without deep OT context can destabilize fragile systems and erode the trust between security, IT, and operations that any sustained improvement depends on.
This Posture Check is a starting point for that clarity.
The four dimensions in this assessment reflect the gaps most consistently found across real OT security engagements in European and US manufacturing environments.
