CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
OT CISO Services for Critical Infrastructure Operators
Strengthen OT governance, meet CIRMP obligations, and uplift to AESCSF SP2 with specialised vCISO and eCISO™ services designed for ICS, SCADA, and renewable energy environments.
OT-ALIGNED CISO
Why OT Operators Need an OT-Aligned CISO
Operational Technology environments face cyber physical risks that traditional IT governance cannot address. As energy and critical infrastructure operators move toward digitalisation and renewable integration, the need for specialised OT cybersecurity leadership becomes critical.
Red Piranha’s methodology starts with scoping; defining system boundaries, critical assets, and trust zones. We collect business and risk context, build asset inventories, map network segmentation, and assess protocol traffic. This structured approach ensures CIRMP uplift and AESCSF SP2 compliance are grounded in real operational risk, not just technical alerts.
Our OT‑aligned CISO (vCISO or eCISO™) leads this scoping process by:
- Translating business risk - Guiding you to prioritise high‑consequence processes (breaker control, turbine management, chemical dosing) over low‑impact noise.
- Driving governance alignment - Showing how scoping outputs map directly into CIRMP, AESCSF SP2, and IEC 62443 frameworks.
- Overseeing asset & protocol inventories - Helping you validate completeness and address insecure traffic (Modbus, DNP3, MQTT, Profinet, EtherNet/IP).
- Managing vendor & third‑party pathways - Guiding secure remote access governance with MFA, jump servers, and session recording.
- Ensuring incident response readiness - Embedding playbooks, SOC monitoring, and isolation authority into your maturity baseline.
By guiding you through scoping within the CISO governance model, Red Piranha ensures operators gain a defensible, audit‑ready foundation for compliance uplift and resilience.

FOR OT OPERATORS
Red Piranha Advantage for OT Operators
Crystal Eye supports scoping by providing OT network visibility, asset discovery, protocol breakdowns, and segmentation validation, enabling operators to track maturity uplift across CIRMP and SP2 frameworks.
Our sovereign Australian SOC and Crystal Eye platform provide
OT Network Visibility
• Gain complete insight into your industrial control systems, SCADA networks, and field devices.
• Red Piranha’s Crystal Eye platform provides passive monitoring across OT zones, enabling detection of anomalies, unauthorised connections, and configuration changes, all without disrupting operations.
This visibility forms the foundation for CIRMP hazard analysis and AESCSF SP2 evidence generation.
Secure Remote Vendor Access
• Our scoping assesses vendor pathways, MFA enforcement, jump server use, and remote session recording to ensure external access is controlled and auditable.
• Protect contractors, vendors, and remote operators with tightly controlled, audit ready access into OT environments.
• Crystal Eye enforces role based, time bound, and monitored VPN sessions that ensure external parties can only reach approved OT assets.
• All remote connectivity is backed by Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)-ready SD-WAN, delivering secure, future proof encrypted channels that safeguard critical infrastructure against emerging cryptographic threats.
This capability supports CIRMP assurance, AESCSF SP2 governance, and IEC 62443 requirements for secure external access.
OT Segmentation Validation
• Validate that your OT network segmentation aligns with IEC 62443 zoning and CIRMP requirements.
• Crystal Eye continuously monitors traffic flows between zones and conduits, detecting policy violations or misconfigurations.
This ensures defensible architecture and provides evidence for compliance audits.
Compliance in Real-Time
• Visualise your compliance posture in real time.
• We help you consolidate CIRMP, AESCSF SP2, and IEC 62443 metrics, including maturity scores, control status, and incident trends.
Executives and boards gain immediate insight into governance performance and risk exposure.
Evidence Packs for CIRMP & SP2
• Generate audit ready documentation automatically.
• Crystal Eye compiles segmentation evidence, risk assessments, and control validation reports into structured evidence packs aligned with CIRMP and AESCSF SP2 frameworks.
These packs simplify regulatory submissions and demonstrate continuous compliance.
