ISO 27001 + Supply Chain Security.
Manufacturing companies face growing cybersecurity threats — from ransomware targeting OT systems to supply chain attacks. Enterprise customers and government contracts increasingly require ISO 27001. We implement real security controls across your IT and OT environment.
Common Challenges
Manufacturing is the most targeted industry for ransomware. Attacks on operational technology (OT) systems can halt production lines and cost millions per day in downtime.
Enterprise customers and government contractors increasingly require ISO 27001 from their suppliers. Without it, you risk losing contracts to compliant competitors.
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is required for DoD contractors. ISO 27001 provides a strong foundation for CMMC compliance.
As manufacturing systems become more connected, the attack surface expands. IT security controls must extend to OT environments without disrupting production.
Recommended Frameworks
Every industry has different compliance requirements. Here's what we recommend for Manufacturing companies — and why.
The most commonly required certification for manufacturing supply chain contracts. Covers both IT and OT security controls.
Required by enterprise customers who need assurance about your data handling practices, especially for connected manufacturing systems.
Required if your manufacturing operations include e-commerce or direct card processing.
Case Studies
A Tier 1 automotive supplier received a mandate from their OEM customer: achieve ISO 27001 certification within 12 months or risk losing the contract. They had no formal security program.
We scoped the ISMS to cover both IT and OT systems, conducted a risk assessment across the manufacturing environment, implemented controls, and coordinated the certification audit.
ISO 27001 certified in 90 days. OEM contract retained. The certification also opened doors with two additional OEM customers who required ISO 27001.
