Mining & Energy .
OT/IT convergence, SCADA analytics and operational resilience.
Mining and energy operations generate enormous volumes of operational telemetry that rarely reach the people making commercial decisions. At the same time, connecting operational technology to corporate networks introduces risk that traditional IT security controls were never designed to handle. We work on both sides of that boundary.
Regulatory context
- IEC 62443
- Mine Health and Safety Act
- POPIA
- NIST CSF
Sector pressures we are built for
OT and IT convergence risk
Control systems designed for isolation are now network-connected, often without segmentation or monitoring.
Telemetry trapped at site
SCADA and historian data stays on site, so group-level analysis relies on manual reporting cycles.
Unplanned downtime
Reactive maintenance on critical plant carries disproportionate cost per hour lost.
Energy cost and continuity
Load-shedding and tariff volatility make consumption visibility a direct margin issue.
What we deliver in this sector
OT security
Segmentation, asset discovery and monitoring for industrial control environments, designed around availability constraints.
SCADA and IoT integration
OT-to-IT pipelines that move plant telemetry into a governed analytics platform at scale.
Predictive maintenance
Condition-based models for fixed and mobile plant, prioritised by cost of failure.
Production analytics
Site-to-group reporting on throughput, availability and utilisation from a single trusted source.
Remote operations enablement
Connectivity, infrastructure and monitoring for integrated remote operating centres.
What we're built to address in this sector
These are the problems we scope engagements against and the measures we agree before work starts. We publish what we are built to do rather than borrowing someone else's results.
- Site-to-group telemetry unified in a single governed platform, with ingestion latency agreed at design stage
- Integration delivered without unplanned control-network downtime, against a pre-agreed change window protocol
- Asset inventory and network segmentation baselined across the OT estate as an auditable register
