Cyber security for organisations that keep the lights on

Siker is an OT cyber security consultancy and training provider with two deep specialisms: operational technology security for OT, ICS and SCADA environments, and cyber defence & response for the teams that detect, investigate and recover from attacks.

Our Specialisms

Two Pathways, One Security Posture

Our consultancy is set out the same way as our training: operational technology for the systems that run the physical world, and cyber defence & response for the teams that protect and investigate them.

Operational Technology (OT) pathway badge

Operational Technology (OT)

Keeping physical operations safe, available and compliant

Security for the environments where a cyber event becomes a safety or availability event: ICS, SCADA, PLCs and the networks around them.

  • Secure-by-design architecture, zones and conduits aligned to IEC 62443
  • Asset discovery, segmentation and OT-safe monitoring in live plant
  • NIS Regulations and sector regulator engagement
  • Engineering-team capability building and mentoring

Cyber Defence & Response

Detect earlier, investigate properly, recover faster

Defensive security across the enterprise and the operational estate - detection engineering, incident response readiness and digital forensics capability.

  • Detection and monitoring design across IT and OT telemetry
  • Incident response planning, playbooks and live exercising
  • Digital forensics, malware and mobile investigation capability
  • Threat-informed hardening and control validation

How We Work

A Controlled Route From Exposure to Assurance

Every engagement follows the same five stages, scaled to the size of the estate and the deadline in front of you.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Understand what actually needs protecting

    We map the sites, plants, users, cloud services, control systems and remote access routes that matter, together with the regulatory drivers behind the work.

    Clear scope prevents expensive surprises once assessment and remediation begin.

  2. 02

    Assess

    Measure exposure against a recognised standard

    Enterprise and operational estates are reviewed against IEC 62443, ISO 27001, NIS Regulations and the NCSC CAF, using techniques that are safe for live environments.

    You get a prioritised picture of risk written for engineers, security teams and the board.

  3. 03

    Design

    Set out the target architecture

    Zone and conduit models, segmentation, monitoring coverage and detection use cases are designed around how the plant and the business genuinely operate.

    Requirements feed straight into procurement so assurance is bought in, not bolted on.

  4. 04

    Implement

    Deliver the controls without stopping production

    We work alongside your teams and integrators to put controls, visibility and response capability in place across IT and OT.

    Evidence is documented as the work happens, so assurance packs build themselves.

  5. 05

    Sustain

    Build the capability to keep it running

    Assured training, mentoring, exercising and vCISO support hand ownership back to your own people.

    The result is a security posture that survives audits, incidents and staff turnover.

Why It Matters

Turn a regulatory deadline into lasting capability.

Most cyber programmes in critical operations start under pressure: an NIS audit, an insurance renewal, a customer questionnaire or an incident that came too close. We turn that pressure into a controlled route to assurance, then leave your teams able to run it themselves.
