OT Environment Pentest
Industrial and operational technology (OT), think SCADA systems, PLCs and production lines, requires a different approach than an office network. In an OT environment pentest we map out vulnerabilities without putting the continuity of your production environment at risk.
Our ethical hackers work carefully and in close consultation, so critical processes remain operational while we thoroughly test the digital resilience of your OT environment.
- Relevant insights
- Free & no obligation
- No impact on the production environment
[ 01 ]Vulnerabilities
Example OT environment vulnerabilities
OT environments often contain equipment that's run unchanged for years, so vulnerabilities pile up easily. Click through examples of common vulnerabilities uncovered during OT environment pentests. We describe the risk level and impact, just as we do in our independent pentest report.
Outdated or unpatched PLCs and industrial controllers
Equipment that's run unchanged for years often contains known vulnerabilities that can no longer be patched without interrupting production, so the risk keeps existing.
Certifications
Our ethical hackers are broadly certified
From OffSec to Hack The Box: the Tozetta team sets the bar high with internationally recognized, hands-on certifications. We put that in-depth expertise to work in every pentest, so organizations can count on thorough, high-quality security research.

[ 03 ]Our process
How does an OT environment pentest work?
No jargon, just a clear process. Click a step or sit back and relax.
Introduction & Scope
A no-obligation conversation or an interactive questionnaire, in which we map out the OT environment, critical processes and safety boundaries together.
[ 04 ]Pentest methods
Pentesting methods
Black, Grey or White box? Pick a method below and see instantly how much knowledge the ethical hacker gets up front, and therefore how realistic the attack is. Within OT environments we often deliberately choose a grey or white box approach, to avoid unnecessary risk.
The hacker starts completely blind
Black box Pentest
In a black box penetration test the organization gives the ethical hacker no information about the systems and IT structure up front.
What the hacker sees up front
“I've capped off 5+ years of experience as an ethical hacker with an OSCP, OSED, OSWE, OSEP & OSCE3 certification. With that knowledge, I make sure your networks, websites, and mobile applications are tested thoroughly.”
Frequently asked OT environment pentest questions
What is an OT environment pentest?
An OT environment pentest maps out vulnerabilities within industrial and operational technology, such as SCADA systems, PLCs and production lines. This is done in a way that doesn't put the continuity of your production environment at risk.
What is the difference with a regular internal network pentest?
An OT environment requires a more careful approach than an office network. Outdated equipment and industrial protocols can be sensitive to disruption, so we test with extra care and in close consultation with your technical team.
Read more here about running a pentest on a corporate network.
Does an OT pentest carry any risk for production?
We take this risk seriously. Beforehand we agree together on a safe scope and testing method, so critical processes remain operational while we thoroughly test the digital resilience of your OT environment.
How often should I have an OT environment pentest carried out?
It's recommended to test annually, and additionally after major changes to the infrastructure, new equipment or a migration. Feel free to get in touch with us for no-obligation advice.
