Audit teams are expected to validate OT security, but often lack the operational context to do it effectively.

The situation this course is for

Traditional audit frameworks don't translate cleanly to OT environments. Audit teams face pressure to deliver assurance on systems they don't fully understand, using tools designed for IT, not industrial operations. This leads to gaps in coverage, misaligned findings, and recommendations that don't hold up in production contexts.

Who this is for

Compliance and audit professionals in industrial sectors who need to assess OT security with technical accuracy and operational realism.

Who this is not for

This course is not for IT auditors focused solely on corporate networks, nor for engineers managing day-to-day OT operations without audit responsibilities.

What you walk away with

  • Interpret OT system architectures with confidence during audit planning
  • Apply risk-based validation techniques specific to industrial control systems
  • Translate technical findings into audit-ready reports aligned with compliance standards
  • Navigate access and data collection constraints common in live OT environments
  • Use the implementation playbook to standardize OT audit workflows across teams
