Manufacturing doesn’t stop. Neither does the threat landscape targeting your operations.
The risks manufacturers face every day.
Most IT providers think about endpoints, email, and cloud. Manufacturing adds another layer entirely — and most providers aren’t equipped for it.
OT/IT Convergence Risks
Production equipment connecting to business networks creates attack paths in both directions. A compromised workstation can reach your SCADA systems — and vice versa.
Supply Chain Exposure
Your vendors, partners, and third-party integrations are entry points. A breach at a supplier can cascade into your systems before anyone notices.
Legacy Systems Everywhere
PLCs running outdated firmware. HMIs on Windows versions that stopped receiving patches years ago. Equipment that can’t be updated without shutting down the line.
Ransomware Targeting Production
Attackers know that production downtime creates pressure to pay quickly. Manufacturing is now one of the most targeted industries for ransomware.
IT and security built for environments where downtime has a real cost.
Managed IT for Manufacturing
End-to-end IT management for office and plant environments. Network infrastructure, cloud, end-user support, and vendor coordination — aligned to your operational schedule.
24/7 Threat Monitoring
Continuous visibility across your business network. Vulnerability management, threat detection, and rapid response — before an incident becomes a production halt.
Risk Assessment & NIST CSF
Comprehensive security assessments mapped to NIST CSF. Technical vulnerability scanning, network architecture review, and prioritized remediation guidance.
Compliance & Documentation
Whether responding to cyber insurance requirements, customer audits, or regulatory frameworks — we build the controls and documentation that hold up to scrutiny.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Tested recovery procedures designed around production environments. Documented RTOs, regular restore testing, and infrastructure that gets you back online fast.
A structured engagement — built around your operations.
Every manufacturing engagement starts the same way: we learn your environment before we change anything. No assumptions, no generic playbooks.
1
Assess & Document
Risk assessment mapped to NIST CSF. We inventory your systems, identify gaps, and deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap.
2
Harden & Implement
Network segmentation, endpoint protection, backup architecture, and monitoring — deployed around your production schedule.
3
Manage & Monitor
Ongoing managed IT and security. 24/7 monitoring, regular reviews, and a team that knows your systems before something goes wrong.
What separates manufacturing IT from generic support.
| Capability | Generic IT Provider | CCI Manufacturing IT |
|---|---|---|
| OT/IT Convergence | No understanding of industrial networks or production systems | OT and IT managed as one secured environment |
| Supply Chain Security | Third-party risk not assessed or monitored | Vendor risk management and access controls |
| Legacy System Support | Refuses to support anything older than 5 years | Secure integration of legacy PLCs and HMIs |
| Incident Response | Standard ticket queue — no production priority | Production-critical response with tested plans |
| Compliance | Generic templates and checkbox compliance | NIST CSF-aligned controls built into operations |
| Uptime SLA | Best-effort with business-hours support | 24/7 monitoring with production-aware SLAs |
Questions we hear most.
Can you work in environments with both OT and IT systems?
Yes. We understand that OT environments have different requirements than office IT — different change windows, different availability demands, and different risk tolerances. We work across both without forcing one framework onto the other.
We’re worried about ransomware. Where do we start?
A risk assessment is the right starting point. It identifies your actual exposure — not theoretical risk, but the specific gaps in your network, backups, and controls that attackers exploit. From there, we build a prioritized remediation plan you can actually execute.
Our cyber insurance renewal is coming up. Can you help?
Yes. Insurers are requiring more documentation and actual control implementation than they used to. We help organizations implement the controls underwriters ask for and build the evidence trail that supports your application.
Do you support multi-site manufacturing operations?
Yes. Multi-site environments have additional complexity around network connectivity, consistent security policies, and centralized management. We design and manage infrastructure that works across locations without requiring a separate IT team at each site.
How do you handle legacy equipment that can’t be patched?
Network segmentation, compensating controls, and monitoring. We isolate legacy systems from the broader network while maintaining the connectivity they need to function. The goal is reducing risk without disrupting production.
IT and security that understands the floor.
If your current IT support doesn’t understand production environments, treats every maintenance window as optional, or has never assessed your OT exposure — let’s talk.
