Modern cybersecurity has implications beyond virtual environments, making it a critical factor during initial design and planning stages of newbuild projects. Without it, you risk supply chain disruption and other cyber exposures during operation and production.
The Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity team at ABS Group provides security services for newbuild projects, connecting your organization’s people, technologies and assets. These industrial cybersecurity services help to ensure high productivity throughout the new construction process. We support complex projects in critical infrastructure including wind farms, offshore platforms, power plants and marine vessels, among others.

Overwhelmingly, organizations see a growing need to implement cybersecurity in their OT environments at the start of a project and manage that risk through the lifecycle of their assets. The biggest challenge is where to start.
During the initial phase of a new construction project, our OT Cybersecurity team's Clean-Build Program designs a custom plan with careful consideration of your asset inventory, network architecture, security frameworks and malware protection implementation throughout your OT and Industrial Control Systems (ICS).
Today, our critical infrastructure is in a dire cybersecurity state. Download our eBook to discover five (5) fix-actions, backed by NIST, that can help your organization implement a successful cyber program.
We can work with you through each phase of your new construction projects — from mapping your value chain to design and implementation.
Create a Cyber Map of Your Value Chain
The better overview a business has of its cyber dependencies, the more it can see the key vulnerabilities and risks in its operations. Don’t stop at the first level of the supplier; look at the supplier of their suppliers.
Cyber By Design
Ideally, cyber should begin during the design phase, but it can be added at any time during the project: Concept, Assess/Pre-FEED, FEED, Develop, Construct and Operate.
Implement a Clean Build
Operations can introduce vulnerabilities into the supply chain. Organizations can combat these vulnerabilities by putting the people, processes and technologies in place to minimize the risk to operations.
