Parasyn secures critical infrastructure where a cyber event doesn't just steal data — it stops production, endangers lives, and disrupts communities. Engineering-led OT security for Australia's most critical operational environments.

Operational Integrity. Above All Else.

We bridge the gap between traditional safety engineering and modern cyber threats — ensuring the physical process remains under control at all times.

Model Predictive Control emulates plant operation

🏭

PROCESS-AWARE DEFENCE

We don't just secure "packets." We understand the PLC logic, SCADA telemetry, and industrial workflows they support — securing the system that controls the real world.

ZERO-DISRUPTION IMPLEMENTATION

Security controls are engineered specifically for 24/7 operational environments where "rebooting" is not an option. Every change goes through strict OT governance.

🛡️

SAFETY AS THE PRIMARY METRIC

Protecting people, assets, and the community by ensuring the Control Mission is never compromised. Physical safety drives every security decision we make.

🇦🇺

SOVEREIGN AUSTRALIAN CAPABILITY

Local expertise that understands your site's specific safe state. We provide ongoing support aligned to the engineering lifecycle — not a remote SOC with no OT context.

Service Catalogue

Ten Services. One Mission.

Every service is engineered around the realities of operational technology — where safety, availability, and integrity are non-negotiable requirements, not nice-to-haves.

🏗️

IEC 62443 Security Architecture & Design

Engineering the blueprint for Zones and Conduits to ensure a defensible network foundation aligned to industrial standards.

⚠️

OT-Specific Risk & Consequence Assessment

Identifying critical process crown jewels and modelling the physical impact of potential cyber-events on operations.

🔒

Network Segmentation & Hardening

Physical and logical isolation of control environments to reduce the blast radius of any breach across zones and conduits.

🔑

Secure Remote Access Systems

Identity-based, encrypted gateways for secure internal and third-party vendor access — without opening the plant to the internet.

📡

Live Asset & Vulnerability Intelligence

Real-time, automated inventory of all field hardware, firmware versions, and serial numbers — continuous visibility across the OT estate.

👁️

Industrial Anomaly Detection

Monitoring OT protocols (Modbus, DNP3, and more) for irregular behaviour that indicates process tampering or adversarial intrusion.

⚙️

Engineering Change & Configuration Management

Security updates managed through strict OT governance to ensure patches never cause process downtime or operational upset.

🚨

OT Incident Response & Safe State Playbooks

Site-specific recovery plans engineered to ensure a fast, validated return to production following any cyber incident.

📊

Managed Operational Resilience

Ongoing sovereign Australian support and performance monitoring to keep security aligned with your engineering lifecycle.

📋

Regulatory & SOCI Act Alignment

Engineering documentation and technical evidence required for critical infrastructure compliance under Australia's Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018. We handle the evidence — you retain the licence to operate.

Defence in Depth

The Castle Mentality.

No single point of failure. We apply layered redundancy across the plant floor — if one security layer is bypassed, the core process remains shielded by the next.

🔐

FUNCTIONAL SEGMENTATION (ZONES)

Critical assets (PLCs, HMIs, SIS) grouped into hardened Zones. A compromise in one area cannot migrate to the Crown Jewels.

🌐

CONTROLLED COMMUNICATION (CONDUITS)

Every data flow between zones is a strictly defined, monitored tunnel permitting only verified, necessary operational traffic.

🔧

LEGACY LIFECYCLE EXTENSION

Wrapping older insecure-by-design hardware in a protective digital shell — avoiding premature or costly capital expenditure.

👤

IDENTITY & ACCESS MANAGEMENT

Role-based access control ensuring only authorised personnel and vendors can reach critical control systems.

Integrated Project Delivery

A Structured Lifecycle for OT Cyber Risk.

A repeatable, standards-aligned methodology for managing cybersecurity risks across operational technology environments — from first engagement to continuous monitoring.

1

IDENTIFICATION

Define engagement scope, objectives and regulatory context

2

ASSET VISIBILITY

Establish visibility of SCADA, PLCs, RTUs, historians, networks

3

THREAT ANALYSIS

Identify threat actors, attack paths and system vulnerabilities

4

RISK ASSESSMENT

Evaluate risks by likelihood, operational impact and safety

5

CONTROLS DESIGN

Define segmentation, access control and monitoring requirements

6

RISK ACCEPTANCE

Agree residual risk levels with stakeholders and asset owners

7

MONITOR & REVIEW

Ongoing monitoring, governance and periodic security review

Standards & Compliance

Built on the Right Foundations.

Every engagement is aligned to globally recognised industrial cybersecurity standards and Australia's critical infrastructure regulatory framework.

📋

IEC 62443

The global standard for Industrial Automation & Control Systems security. Zones, conduits, and security levels.

🔒

ISO 27001

International information security management system requirements and best practice framework.

🚄

TS 50701

Railway-specific cybersecurity standard for CBTC and ETCS systems. Critical transport infrastructure.

🇦🇺

SOCI Act

Australia's Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 — compliance for registered critical infrastructure assets.

Sustained Resilience

Security Embedded in OT Engineering.

Cybersecurity is a lifecycle, not a destination. Parasyn integrates security into the standard engineering management workflow — defences that never go stale.

🔄

ENGINEERING CHANGE CONTROL

We apply a continuous Assess → Protect → Monitor → Improve loop. Security patches and configuration changes are managed via strict Engineering Change Control to prevent process upsets.

LIFECYCLE MANAGED
🎯

OT VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT

We don't just scan and pray. We evaluate vulnerabilities against your specific process impact — prioritising remediation of conduits that protect your most critical control logic.
