End to End OT Cyber Security Capabilities
Sword helps organisations to understand their current OT cyber security posture, make recommendations and introduce improvements to help demonstrate Operational Technology (OT) cyber security compliance. Through OT assessments, gap analysis and prioritised remediation programmes, we help organisations align with frameworks and regulations including NIS, NCSC CAF and ISA/IEC 62443 while reducing operational risk and strengthening resilience.
We assess your operational technology environment against applicable regulations, frameworks and standards to establish a clear baseline of current maturity, compliance status and cyber security risk exposure.

More Information
We assess current cyber security maturity against recognised frameworks such as NCSC CAF, identify compliance gaps, prioritise remediation activities and help organisations implement structured improvement programmes.
An OT gap assessment evaluates your current environment against applicable regulations, frameworks and standards to identify areas of risk, compliance shortfalls and opportunities for improvement.
Our assessments use non-intrusive techniques including documentation reviews, architecture assessments, stakeholder engagement and passive analysis methods designed specifically for operational environments.
Compliance doesn’t stop once the remediation work is done. Our Continuous Compliance platform monitors your controls against the NCSC CAF all the time, and shows your position on a live dashboard with audit-ready evidence. Alongside it, our OT sustainment services provide regular reviews, control checks and updates as your environment changes.
