Industrial control systems, SCADA environments, and critical infrastructure demand a specialist approach. HackLabs brings deep OT expertise to uncover vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.
Talk to an ExpertThe convergence of IT and OT networks has exposed industrial control systems to threats once confined to enterprise IT. SCADA systems, PLCs, HMIs, and industrial protocols were designed for reliability — not security. HackLabs' OT specialists assess these environments with the care required to find real vulnerabilities without disrupting operations.
Assessment of SCADA servers, HMI workstations, historian databases, and web-based interfaces for authentication flaws, injection vulnerabilities, and insecure configurations.
Analysis of programmable logic controllers, RTUs, and field devices for firmware vulnerabilities, unauthorised access paths, and insecure programming interfaces.
Mapping and testing of OT network architecture including zone segregation, firewall rulesets, and inter-zone communication paths aligned to the Purdue model.
Testing of industrial protocols including Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, OPC-UA, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP for authentication bypass, replay attacks, and command injection.
Assessment of remote connectivity solutions including VPNs, jump servers, and vendor remote access tools that provide pathways into OT environments.
Gap analysis against ISA/IEC 62443 security levels, providing a roadmap for achieving the security target levels appropriate for your industrial environment.
We work with your OT team to define safe testing boundaries, identify critical systems, and establish rules of engagement that prevent operational disruption.
Non-intrusive network capture and asset discovery maps your OT environment without sending active probes that could affect operational equipment.
Targeted testing of identified systems using OT-safe techniques. We replicate attacker techniques while respecting the operational constraints of your environment.
Findings are risk-rated in the context of operational impact. Remediation guidance is practical and accounts for the long lifecycle of industrial systems.
CREST-certified consultants across all disciplines. Independently audited methodology you can trust.
Extensive track record across enterprise, government, and critical infrastructure sectors.
Founded by Chris Gatford — over two decades of offensive security experience at your service.
No graduates on client engagements. Every assessment is run by experienced, certified professionals.
Test the internet-facing perimeter that connects your corporate and OT networks.
Assess lateral movement risks across your IT/OT converged network environment.
When an OT incident occurs, HackLabs has the specialist capability to investigate and contain it.
