FAQ

Common questions.

What manufacturers ask us most — before they become clients.

What does Enterprise AI governance mean for OT cybersecurity?

It means AI use is governed before it touches plant-floor context, product security data, customer evidence, or regulated documentation. We define access rules, model risk controls, human review gates, and source traceability so AI improves speed without weakening auditability or OT safety.

When do I need to comply with the EU Cyber Resilience Act?

Obligations are phased: vulnerability-reporting obligations apply from 11 September 2026, and full compliance is due 11 December 2027 for products with digital elements sold in the EU. Non-compliance risks fines and lost market access — a prioritized roadmap matters now.

What's a vCPSO, and how is it different from a vCISO?

A virtual Chief Product Security Officer leads security for the products you ship and the OT that builds them — IEC 62443, EU CRA, secure development lifecycle, supplier security. A vCISO is IT-focused: corporate networks, SOC 2, email. For connected-product makers, product security is its own discipline.

Will you replace our engineers or make us dependent on you?

The opposite. Discover, Define, Build, Enable: we stand up the processes, train your engineers, and hand the capability off. Success is what still runs after we leave.

Which standards and regulations do you cover?

IEC 62443 (incl. 4-1/4-2), EU CRA, NIS2, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act, IEC 81001-5-1 and MDS² for healthcare, and SOC 2. We sit on IEC OT cybersecurity standards committees — we work from the source.

How fast can you stand up a GRC capability?

A gap assessment and report-out lands in weeks. A documented GRC operating model with trained staff follows over a few months, depending on scope. AI acceleration compresses the document-heavy phases.
