vCISO.One has launched a tiered Virtual CISO service for OT environments, helping councils, utilities, and infrastructure operators manage cyber risk, improve resilience, and align with frameworks like IEC 62443, ACSC OT Principles, and the ISM—without needing a full-time CISO.
-- Australian cybersecurity consultancy vCISO.One has launched a dedicated set of Virtual CISO (vCISO) services specifically tailored to Operational Technology (OT) environments — including SCADA, ICS, telemetry systems, and other critical infrastructure.
With cyber threats now extending far beyond IT networks, organisations managing industrial or connected systems are increasingly at risk. Yet many lack the in-house expertise to govern OT security, manage compliance, or respond to regulations like the SoCI Act, ACSC OT Security Principles, and IEC 62443. vCISO.One’s new OT-focused offering is designed to help operators build resilience without disrupting operations.
“Traditional IT approaches don’t work in the OT world,” said Andrew Egoroff, founder of vCISO.One. “Patching, scanning, and cloud-first strategies often break things. This service was created to give engineers and operators practical, risk-based cyber leadership that respects uptime, safety, and legacy constraints.”
Three Fixed-Tier Packages for OT Security Leadership
The new service is available in three scalable tiers:
- Bronze - OT Cyber Health Check: A one-time architecture and risk review for SCADA, PLC, or telemetry environments. Includes a gap analysis aligned to the ACSC OT Security Principles and a prioritised 6-12 month roadmap.
- Silver - Ongoing OT Cyber Oversight: Regular check-ins with an OT-aware consultant, including support for vendor risk reviews, remote access and segmentation guidance, and alignment with compliance frameworks like IEC 62443, PSPF, or the ISM.
- Gold - Embedded OT vCISO Partnership: Full strategic oversight including incident response planning, cyber risk reviews across the OT system lifecycle, cyber awareness briefings for engineers, and up to 10 hours per month of expert engagement. On-site support is also available.
Helping Operators Bridge the IT/OT Divide
vCISO.One has already supported councils, utilities, and infrastructure providers across Australia and the U.S., helping teams identify unmanaged devices, segment networks, assess remote access risk, and align to OT-specific governance frameworks.
“In one case, we helped a regional utility uncover remote access paths that hadn’t been reviewed in years. In another, we standardised OT visibility across multiple departments. The value isn’t just security — it’s control, clarity, and compliance,” Egoroff added.
Organisations that use the OT vCISO service benefit from:
- A clear view of cyber risk across OT assets
- Safer, segmented architectures that protect uptime
- Policies designed for engineering, not just IT
- Readiness for audits, grant funding, or SoCI reporting
- An expert partner who speaks both “cyber” and “control systems”
- Built for Engineers. Backed by Standards.
With OT systems often designed for longevity, not security, this service is built to work with operational constraints — not against them. Whether managing water treatment plants, smart traffic systems, or factory automation, vCISO.One provides practical, standards-aligned guidance that makes OT security manageable.
