Our OT-SCADA Penetration Test services helps organisations secure their industrial systems by detecting vulnerabilities in SCADA, ICS, and OT networks before attackers do.
The OT (Operational Technology) Security Testing Service is a comprehensive assessment process designed to protect industrial control systems (ICS/SCADA) and infrastructures from cyber threats. The hardware used in industrial facilities is increasingly exposed to cyber risks, potentially disrupting continuous production processes. Our OT Security Testing Service aims to strengthen the security of critical infrastructures and enhance security maturity against cyber threats.
The tests we conduct include a range of assessments to identify vulnerabilities in OT (ICS/SCADA) systems. We utilize various techniques such as attack simulations, vulnerability scans, gap analysis, and configuration testing to evaluate and report the current security posture of your systems in detail. Adhering to national and international security standards throughout the process increases the quality and reliability of our tests.
Our OT Security Testing Service goes beyond identifying existing threats; it also offers strategic recommendations to prepare for future risks. Based on findings and documentation gathered during testing, we provide strategies to mature the security levels of your devices and systems. These tests help improve operational security in industrial facilities and prevent security-related disruptions.
By improving the cybersecurity of industrial control systems, our service helps ensure business continuity. Detailed reports generated at the end of the tests contain all steps and guidance necessary to detect and remediate security gaps. With action plans tailored to each organization, we ensure systems remain secure and up to date.
The Power Behind Industry Leaders
The hardware and software components of OT systems are analyzed during testing. Possible vulnerabilities are identified, and the security posture of each component is assessed. The information and findings obtained are used to provide strategic recommendations for remediation. These tests improve system security and raise the maturity level of the infrastructure against cyberattacks.
Potential vulnerabilities in OT (ICS/SCADA) systems are examined in detail. Detected vulnerabilities are evaluated with the organization’s security team to assess their risk levels. This helps prioritize vulnerabilities, ensuring that critical risks are addressed first.
Security tests are performed on industrial control systems and surrounding components such as PLCs, SCADA, RTUs, DSS, and sensors that feed data to IT assets. Physical access control systems, surveillance cameras, and other security measures at facilities are also tested. Identifying physical security vulnerabilities is crucial for preventing unauthorized access.
Physical security is a key audit phase for OT systems. The tests evaluate access control systems, surveillance equipment, and other physical security layers. Detecting physical vulnerabilities is one of the most critical steps in preventing unauthorized entry. These inspections help maintain system integrity and support uninterrupted operations.
Cyber threat simulations aim to identify OT system vulnerabilities using real-world attack scenarios. Customized techniques, tactics, and procedures are applied to test network structures, hardware, and software components. These simulations help mature the organization’s cyber defense capabilities.

An OT (SCADA) penetration test is a type of assessment that evaluates the cybersecurity posture of industrial control systems (ICS), including PLCs, SCADA systems, and peripheral components. The primary goal is to identify vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure and take preventive measures against cyber threats. During testing, real-world attacker techniques are applied to uncover weaknesses. Periodic testing of SCADA infrastructure against evolving cyber threats is crucial for ensuring business continuity and stable production. All findings, documents, and data gathered throughout the process contribute to improving the overall security maturity of critical systems.
OT (SCADA) systems typically operate on closed-loop architectures, making them weaker in terms of cybersecurity controls. Penetration testing helps identify and resolve vulnerabilities in critical infrastructures. These tests aim to secure operational workflows, prevent disruptions, and avoid data breaches. Cyberattacks targeting industrial facilities can result in significant financial damage, operational losses, and reduced production. Periodic SCADA testing improves security levels and ensures preparedness for future cyberattacks.
OT penetration tests cover critical systems such as PLCs, SCADA, RTUs, HMIs, DSS, MES, and Engineering Workstations. Sensors and peripheral devices connected to these systems are also included. Firewall configurations and access control mechanisms are reviewed, ensuring a full-scope assessment of both hardware and software layers to detect and resolve vulnerabilities.
The duration of a SCADA penetration test depends on the size and complexity of the system. While tests for small infrastructures may take a few days, large and complex systems may require several weeks or months. Tests are scheduled to avoid disrupting operations. During critical assessments, alternative workflows are planned to maintain business continuity.
At the end of the OT penetration test, all identified vulnerabilities and their associated risk levels are reported in detail. For each vulnerability, tailored remediation recommendations and actionable plans are provided. The report includes both technical details for IT/security teams and executive summaries for senior management. These reports are key resources for system improvement and the development of long-term cybersecurity strategies.
The primary objective of OT penetration testing is to identify security flaws without interrupting operations. Testing is carefully planned with a focus on continuity. In some cases, tests are conducted during night shifts or low-activity periods. Coordination with project management ensures proper precautions are taken. All testing activities are aligned with the organization’s operational needs.
OT penetration tests are a fundamental part of the risk management process. Prioritizing discovered vulnerabilities allows organizations to address critical threats more swiftly. Risk reports generated after testing guide strategic decision-making and support the implementation of effective mitigation plans.
It is recommended to perform OT penetration tests at least twice a year. However, they should also be conducted after major system updates or the deployment of new components. Regular testing ensures that systems remain protected against current threats. Frequent assessments allow early detection and response to new vulnerabilities, thereby increasing cybersecurity maturity.
OT penetration tests are conducted in compliance with national and international standards such as ISO 27001, IEC 62443, and EPDK regulations. These standards help define the scope and methodology of the tests, ensuring alignment with cybersecurity best practices. Compliance with these frameworks is critical for meeting legal obligations and enhancing corporate reputation.
