OT & Regulated Environments

A qualified system that works is worth more than a modern one that needs revalidating. In plants, labs and regulated estates the rule is to change as little as possible, and to prove what you did. We engineer and protect these environments on those terms: nothing installed on a validated host unless it has been qualified, change control respected, and documentation written for the people who sign it off.

Engineering that leaves qualified systems alone

Six services, standalone or combined. Every engagement starts with a register of what is validated and what cannot be touched.

OT & IT Integration

Plant data delivered to the business through gateways and one-way paths that leave control networks untouched.

Validated System Support

Changes to GxP systems delivered with the documentation your quality team needs to sign them off.

Data Protection for Plants

Backup and recovery designed for air-gapped operation, including nSecureBackup™ Vault, with nothing installed on a qualified host until it has been assessed and approved.

Legacy System Containment

Old operating systems and controllers kept running safely when replacing them is not yet an option.

Edge & Shop-Floor Applications

Applications at the line, built to keep working when the network link to the data centre does not.

Compliance Documentation

Requirements, risk assessments and test evidence written to GAMP 5 practice, with 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 in view.

Four phases, from survey to audit trail

Each phase ends with something you can hold: a system register, an approved design, executed test evidence, an audit trail.

Site & System Survey

We record every system in scope, its validation status, the network zones it sits in, and the constraints that come with it.

  • Register of systems and validation status
  • Network zones and data flows
  • Change-control procedure review
  • Constraints list: agents, downtime, vendors
  • Risk assessment
  • Proposed scope

Three cases to leave a regulated system alone

Sometimes the right change is no change:

It Works and Is Qualified

If the system meets its purpose and can still be supported, wrapping it is usually safer than replacing it.

No Quality Sign-Off Available

Without someone in quality to review and approve, changes to validated systems should not start.

Production Can't Spare a Window

Some work needs downtime. If the plant cannot give a window, plan the work for the next shutdown rather than squeezing it in.

How we work in regulated estates

nSecureBackup™ is our own backup and recovery platform, built for environments like these.

01

Agentless by Default

Nothing is installed on a qualified host unless it has been assessed and approved.

02

Air-Gapped Where Required

nSecureBackup Vault runs air-gapped on your own infrastructure.

03

Documentation for Signers

Every change comes with the evidence your quality team needs to approve it.

04

Your Change Control

We work inside your procedures, not around them.

Regulated environments, answered

Not by default. Where an agent is the only option, it goes through your change control and qualification like any other change.

Change as little
as you need to.

Tell us which systems are validated, what the constraints are, and what needs to change. The first step is a site and system survey, and a plain account of what can be done without touching qualified systems.
