Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Is your manufacturing process controls hardware connected to an operations network (OT)?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Is your operations network, (OT), documented up to date and current?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Does your organization utilize a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software to collect data?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Is your organization's Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) software newer than 3 years old?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Does your organization document and maintain an asset list for all the manufacturing hardware involved in the production process?

Cybersecurity Benchmarks

Most companies have IT/Cybersecurity practices that will take the proper steps to keep IT and OT components segregated and removed from the accessible internet, while also able to maintain proper process control in the industrial internet of things. How ready are your IT/Cybersecurity practices for IIoT Smart Factories?

Does your company maintain a cybersecurity program that is aligned to a recognized framework (e.g. NIST, ISO 2700x) and reviewed at least annually by a third-party?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Does your company maintain a privacy program (how government and industry regulations overlap into information/technology) that was developed with (or reviewed by) an attorney?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Does your company maintain access control policies and procedures that incorporate key cybersecurity principles such as role-based access control, least privilege, and segregation of duties, together with controls such as password complexity, account lockout, and multi-factor authentication, proportionate to account privilege?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Does your company develop, maintain, and communicate defined cybersecurity roles and responsibilities for its workforce, to realize required cybersecurity outcomes?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Does your company incorporate minimum standards for cybersecurity and privacy into supplier contract language and assess suppliers for risk in these areas?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Does your company incorporate a holistic, system-wide approach to cybersecurity (i.e. Defense-in-Depth) in its IIoT integrations that includes detective controls?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

When formulating and funding IIoT cybersecurity, does your company consider cybercrime to primarily be an information technology business unit risk?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Does your company maintain cybersecurity liability insurance with sufficient coverage?

Yes

Partially

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Does your data storage rate exceed a 6 second (10 Points Per minute) threshold?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Do you utilize on premise database storage solutions?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

Do you use stored data to make decisions within your organization?

Yes

Partially

Don't Know

BI Benchmarks

Most companies have Business Intelligence implementations that they use to gain valuable insight from their system to leverage decision making to be more productive. These general business practices are the key to maintaining a strong and growing business by following metrics and improving upon them. How ready are your BI practices for IIoT Smart Factories?
