SCADA Governance Quickstart Checklist

10 things every IT-owned OT platform should define before the next audit, upgrade, or outage. No theory — just the decisions you need to make and the questions you need to answer first.

Covers ownership, access control, change process, antivirus baseline, patch readiness, support escalation, historian governance, network policy, access reviews, and build documentation.

System Platform Governance Starter Pack

Waitlist Open

Most IT teams handed a SCADA platform are expected to govern it without being given anything to govern it with. This pack exists to fix that. It contains ready-to-adapt templates and frameworks covering the governance decisions that have to be made — before the next incident, audit, or upgrade forces the conversation.

Every document in this pack has been built from what's actually needed in environments running AVEVA System Platform, not from generic IT governance frameworks applied in hindsight.

Included
  • → SCADA ownership and accountability matrix
  • → Role and responsibility definitions (IT vs OT)
  • → Change control policy for OT assets
  • → Access control and least privilege framework
Also Includes
  • → Decision escalation framework
  • → Governance review process template
  • → Onboarding checklist for IT-owned OT
  • → Guidance notes for each document
Best For IT teams who've inherited SCADA responsibility. Automation engineers trying to formalise how their platform is governed. IT managers who need a defensible governance position before an audit or incident review.

OT Platform Build & Security Standards Pack

Waitlist Open

Inconsistent platform builds, undocumented configurations, and security hardening that breaks operations — this pack addresses all three. It provides the technical baseline documents that teams running AVEVA and similar platforms need but rarely have: node build standards, security policies, and hardening guides that actually work in industrial environments.

The security content is written for the reality of OT — not the ideal of IT. It includes the antivirus exclusions that need to exist, the GPO settings that break AVEVA services if you get them wrong, and the firewall rules that need to be owned by someone.

Included
  • → SCADA node build standard (template)
  • → Security hardening baseline for OT nodes
  • → Antivirus and EDR exclusion policy template
  • → Firewall and network zone ownership doc
Also Includes
  • → Upgrade readiness checklist
  • → GPO scope and exception framework
  • → Access control and account lifecycle policy
  • → Configuration baseline documentation template
Best For IT teams responsible for SCADA platform security who need a baseline that doesn't break operations. Automation engineers building a consistent, multi-site deployment standard. Teams facing an audit or security review of their OT environment.

The IT Engineer's Field Guide to OT

Waitlist Open

A 72-page practical guide for IT engineers who are entering OT environments — whether you've just been assigned a SCADA platform, been asked to provide IT support to automation systems, or you're trying to understand the world your colleagues operate in.

It covers OT fundamentals, culture, how communication works differently on the plant floor, what will catch you out if you approach it like an IT environment, and how to earn credibility with an automation team from day one. Written in plain language, from someone who's made the crossing in both directions.

What's Covered
→ OT vs IT — the real differences
→ How plant floor culture works
→ Communication and credibility
→ SCADA and HMI fundamentals
→ What breaks when IT applies IT rules
→ Working with automation engineers
→ Safety, uptime, and priorities
→ What to do in your first 90 days
Best For IT engineers new to OT environments. IT managers preparing a team member to take on SCADA responsibilities. Anyone crossing from IT to OT for the first time and wanting to do it without making the obvious mistakes.
