DeltaRoot OT/ICS Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

Guarding the Pulse of Industry: Fortifying OT/ICS Against Cyber Threats

Secure What Matters Most — Your Operational Technology In today’s threat landscape, Operational Technology (OT) environments are high-value targets for cyber attackers. From PLCs and HMIs to SCADA and ICS networks, your industrial control systems must be tested against modern-day threats without disrupting operations. At Deltaroot, we specialize in ICS-safe vulnerability assessments and penetration testing tailored specifically for your environments.

OT Penetration Testing

Our Operational Technology (OT) Penetration Testing service is designed to simulate real-world cyberattacks targeting your ICS, SCADA, and IIoT environments—without causing operational disruptions. We apply adversarial testing techniques to uncover weaknesses across industrial networks, control devices, remote access points, and protocol implementations.

Our experts safely test for lateral movement from IT to OT, abuse of ICS protocols like Modbus, DNP3, OPC, IEC 60870-5-104, OPC UA, goose, mms, BACNet, profibus etc., and insecure configurations in PLCs, HMIs, and engineering workstations. We also identify exposed interfaces, weak authentication, default credentials, and exploitable device logic that could be used by attackers in a real compromise.

Every test engagement is tailored to your specific architecture and risk appetite, conducted using ICS-safe tools and methodology aligned with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, ISA/IEC 62443, and NIST SP 800-82. The result is a high-impact assessment that strengthens your defenses—without impacting your production environment.

🛡️ OT Vulnerability Assessment

Our OT Vulnerability Assessment service identifies gaps across your entire industrial environment using non-intrusive, ICS-safe techniques. We help you uncover hidden risks across assets, protocols, firmware, and network design—ensuring full visibility without impacting operations.

  • Asset Coverage: PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, DCS, SCADA systems, IoT sensors, AFUs, VFDs, lightning controls, BMS, FACP, PDUs, and more
  • Protocol Analysis: Modbus, DNP3, OPC UA, IEC 60870-5-104, GOOSE, MMS, BACNet, Profibus, and other ICS protocols
  • Vulnerability Detection: Firmware, OS, and application-level weaknesses
  • Remote Access Risks: Insecure third-party connections, exposed management interfaces, and VPN misconfigurations
  • Network Architecture Review: Poor IT/OT segmentation and unsafe flat networks
  • Lifecycle Gaps: Unpatched or end-of-life devices and unsupported systems


📜 Regulatory Compliance

Our services are designed to align with major regulatory frameworks and standards such as NIST SP 800-82, IEC 62443, and ISO/IEC 27001. We help you identify vulnerabilities, assets, and control gaps essential for achieving or maintaining compliance.

🔍 Our Methodology

Our OT penetration testing and vulnerability assessment methodology is aligned with leading global standards such as ISA/IEC 62443, MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and NIST SP 800-82. We follow a structured, six-phase approach to ensure safety, accuracy, and actionable outcomes.

  1. 1. Scoping & Risk Alignment: Define goals, critical processes, and safety constraints. We design test scenarios based on your unique OT environment and risk tolerance.
  2. 2. Asset & Protocol Mapping: Perform passive discovery of all ICS/SCADA assets and communication paths using mirrored traffic and safe probes. Identify all devices, firmware, and protocol usage.
  3. 3. Threat Modeling: Develop a tailored threat model including attacker objectives, privilege escalation paths, trust boundaries, and exposed surfaces.
  4. 4. Safe Exploitation & Simulation: Emulate adversarial techniques including credential harvesting, protocol abuse (e.g., Modbus write commands), lateral movement, and interface exploitation — using ICS-aware tools only.
  5. 5. Risk Analysis & Impact Mapping: Evaluate each finding in terms of potential impact on process safety, availability, and operational integrity. Correlate results with MITRE ATT&CK for ICS and IEC 62443 zones/conduits.
  6. 6. Reporting & Remediation: Deliver a comprehensive report with executive summary, technical deep dive, visual attack paths, CVE references, and prioritized remediation roadmap.

Every step is executed under strict safety controls, ensuring that your industrial processes remain unaffected during the assessment.
