OT/ICS Security Assessment
Securing Your Industrial Heartbeat: Comprehensive OT/ICS Cybersecurity from
Compliance Wing
In today’s interconnected world, the digital and physical realms are more entwined than ever, especially within industrial operations. From the sensors on your factory floor to the enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems managing your entire supply chain, Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are the very heartbeat of modern industry. Protecting these critical assets isn’t just a best practice—it’s a necessity for business continuity, safety, and compliance.
At Compliance Wing (CW), we understand the unique complexities and vulnerabilities inherent in OT/ICS environments. We offer tailored services designed to analyze and secure your entire operational technology landscape, from field-level equipment up to your core business systems.

Production Stoppages
Halting critical operations, leading to significant financial losses.
Safety Hazards
Compromising control systems can result in dangerous physical outcomes, risking lives and equipment.
Environmental Damage
Failures in control systems can have severe ecological consequences.
Data Theft and Espionage

Navigating the Regulatory Landscape: A Focus on Saudi Arabia
For organizations operating in Saudi Arabia, compliance is a critical consideration. The National
Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) mandates the implementation of the Operational Technology
Cybersecurity Controls (OTCC-1: 2022). These controls serve as an essential extension of the Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC-1: 2018), specifically designed to address the unique challenges of industrial control systems.
Compliance Wing is well-versed in these critical regulations and can guide your organization through the process of achieving and maintaining full compliance with NCA’s cybersecurity frameworks.
