PILLAR TWO
Operational Governance
An assessment without a programme is a document. OTMATIX holds your controls, evidence and certifications. A named Resident Advisor keeps it current.
A program that runs every day, not a binder open once a year.
OT governance dies in spreadsheets, PDFs and the memory of whoever is on shift. We give you a living system of record in OTMATIX, one named senior advisor who stays accountable, and certification delivered on a calendar, so the program survives audits, turnover and time.
The purpose-built system of record for OT operational governance.
Our OT security management platform: the system of record that orchestrates every control, assessment, scenario, certification and advisor note at asset level. On-premises or Azure.
Your OT security lives across a dozen spreadsheets, a shared drive of PDFs, and the memory of the one engineer who understands the historian. When they take leave, the auditor changes, or you swap consultancy, the program quietly unravels. A generic IT GRC tool does not model assets the way OT behaves.
One living source of truth that survives turnover, turns a fourteen-day audit into a four-day audit, and lets a single control satisfy obligations across many frameworks.
In OTMATIX this is the platform. Every other service plug into it.
One named senior practitioner, permanently accountable to your site.
A single, named, senior practitioner accountable to your site on a published cadence, backed by the full firm. Not a pool, not a rotation, not a junior with a senior badge.
Consultancies sell you a logo and deliver a rotating cast of juniors. No one remembers the decision you made in March; no one knows why that control valve was repositioned, and accountability evaporates the moment the statement of work closes.
A single accountable expert who knows your plant and stays. The relationship outlasts any individual contract.
In OTMATIX, your advisor works within the platform, ensuring knowledge and continuity survive any personnel change.
IEC 62443, NCA OTCC, NCA ECC, NIS2 and ADHICS, on a fixed window.
Fixed-scope, fixed-window readiness engagements run by certified lead auditors, with multi-framework mapping that removes duplicated effort.
Compliance has become an open-ended retainer with no finish line. OTCC publishes a control-family change, and your team loses a week; meanwhile you answer near-identical questions for five frameworks as if each were the first.
Audit-ready evidence delivered inside a committed window, with one mapped control satisfying multiple regulatory obligations at once.
In OTMATIX evidence is packaged and maintained in the platform and updated the same day a framework changes.
One Platform.
Running Continuously.
Every Control, Every Framework, Every Advisor Note.
Most OT governance programmes stall because they depend on a single person’s availability, a spreadsheet that nobody maintains and a PDF report that ages the moment it is printed. OTMATIX runs continuously. The programme does not stop when your team is stretched.

With OT Associates, the programme continues without interruption, because every control, evidence item, scenario finding and advisor note is permanently recorded in OTMATIX, the firm’s OT operational governance platform. This differs from typical consultancy engagements, where institutional knowledge is held by an individual and is lost when that person leaves or the contract ends.
OTMATIX, OT Associates’ governance platform, maps a single Micro Governance control at asset level across every regulatory framework an operator is subject to, including IEC 62443, OTCC, NCA ECC, NIS2, ADHICS, ASD Essential Eight and Australia’s SOCI Act. This multi framework mapping means one properly evidenced control can close obligations under several frameworks simultaneously, reducing duplicated audit effort.
A Certification Sprint from OT Associates has a fixed scope and a fixed delivery window agreed before the engagement begins, unlike an open ended compliance retainer, which has no defined end date and is billed indefinitely. Certified lead auditors deliver audit ready evidence inside OTMATIX within the committed timeframe, giving the client a guaranteed completion date.
