Upstream, midstream and downstream operations

Cybersecurity built around process safety and production continuity.

We support oil and gas operators, EPC organisations and service providers in reducing cyber risk across process control, pipeline, terminal, offshore and supporting operational environments.

Operational context

Security grounded in how the sector actually operates.

Oil and gas operations depend on tightly integrated automation, safety systems, specialist vendors and remote support. Security decisions must account for hazardous processes, shutdown consequences and complex project lifecycles.

Engagements can focus on a single site, a specific programme or an enterprise-wide improvement roadmap. The scope is agreed around operational consequence, available evidence and the decisions the work must support.

Typical environments

  • Upstream production and offshore facilities
  • Pipelines, compressor and pumping stations
  • Refineries, terminals and storage operations
  • DCS, SIS, PLC and supervisory systems
  • EPC, integrator and vendor support environments
Stylised oil & gas industrial environment
Risk themes

Where exposure commonly develops.

  • Remote connectivity spanning operators, vendors and contractors
  • Weak separation between corporate and process-control networks
  • Obsolescence and long support lifecycles
  • Inconsistent cybersecurity requirements in projects and procurement
  • Safety and availability constraints during testing or remediation
  • Incomplete recovery procedures for process-control dependencies
