If you are an Information Security Manager or Compliance Lead at a mid-to-large manufacturing organization, this playbook was built for you.
Manufacturing firms today operate complex industrial environments where operational technology, supply chain dependencies, and legacy systems intersect with corporate IT networks. As a compliance or security leader, you are under increasing pressure to demonstrate control over information assets across production floors, logistics, engineering systems, and third-party vendors, all while preparing for external audits and maintaining business continuity. Regulatory scrutiny is intensifying, with auditors demanding not just policy documentation but verifiable evidence of implementation, risk treatment effectiveness, and management review. The cost of noncompliance extends beyond fines to include production downtime, intellectual property loss, and reputational damage in global supply chains.
Engaging a Big-4 consultancy to guide ISO/IEC 27001:2022 implementation typically costs between EUR 80,000 and EUR 250,000. Alternatively, dedicating internal resources means assigning 2 to 3 full-time staff for 6 to 9 months to research controls, draft policies, conduct risk assessments, and prepare audit evidence. This playbook delivers the same structured approach for $395, one-time payment, no recurring fees, no per-user charges.

Domain assessments
The playbook includes seven 30-question domain assessments, each focused on a core area of information security in manufacturing environments:
- Organizational Security: Evaluates policies, roles, onboarding/offboarding, and third-party agreements specific to manufacturing operations.
- People Security: Assesses awareness training, role-based access, and security responsibilities across engineering, production, and maintenance teams.
- Physical & Environmental Security: Reviews access controls to production floors, server rooms, and engineering labs, including visitor management and device handling.
- System & Network Security: Covers segmentation of OT and IT networks, firewall rules, endpoint protection, and secure configuration of industrial control systems.
- Access Control: Tests user provisioning, privilege management, multi-factor authentication, and segregation of duties for ERP, MES, and SCADA systems.
- Operations Security: Examines change management, backup procedures, job scheduling, and logging practices for production-critical systems.
- Incident Management & Business Continuity: Validates detection, response, escalation, and recovery processes for cyber incidents affecting manufacturing uptime.
