The Confidence Standard · Visibility Pillar
Find the devices your
network inventory
doesn't know about.
Discovery and risk assessment for IoT and operational technology.
Professional Service, expert-led, project-based work. Deep expertise, delivered with structure.
Part of the IT Infrastructure portfolio, Visibility Pillar
This service serves the IT Director KPI: Unmanaged Device Risk.
Pillar 01
VISIBILITY
IoT/OT Assessment finds what the standard network inventory misses.
Pillar 02
OPTIMIZATION
Findings scope segmentation and network redesign work.
Pillar 03
CONTINUITY
Managed Networking keeps segmented zones enforced going forward.
What passive discovery finds.
Full device discovery
Every IoT and OT device on the network identified by traffic pattern, not by asking IT what it thinks is connected.
Risk scoring per device
Ranked by what the device can reach on the network, since a low-value sensor can still be the path to something critical.
Segmentation recommendations
Where isolating device classes onto their own network segment would meaningfully reduce exposure.
Vendor and firmware inventory
What is running unpatched, and which devices are past the vendor's own support window.
When this is the right move, and when it's not.
Start here if...
- You suspect more is connected to your network than IT has ever formally inventoried.
- You operate building automation, industrial control systems, or a large fleet of connected devices.
- You need to show an auditor or insurer that unmanaged devices are accounted for.
- You are planning network segmentation and need a real device inventory to design around.
Something else first if...
- You already have a full device inventory and just need the network redesigned. Managed Networking is the faster path.
- Your concern is standard IT endpoints, not IoT or OT devices specifically. Network Assessment covers that ground.
- You are in an active incident right now. Emergency response, 24/7 is the right next step.
This service rarely stands alone.

Straight answers before the call.
Will this disrupt operational technology or industrial control systems?
No. Discovery is passive, built from traffic analysis rather than active scanning, specifically because OT and ICS systems can be sensitive to active probing. Nothing is queried in a way that risks disrupting a live control system.
What counts as an IoT or OT device here?
Anything connected to the network that isn't a standard managed endpoint: building automation controllers, HVAC systems, badge readers, cameras, industrial sensors, smart displays and similar. If it has an IP address and IT didn't provision it, it's in scope.
Do you recommend specific replacement hardware?
This assessment identifies devices and risk, and recommends segmentation. Hardware replacement, where warranted, is scoped separately based on these findings.
How is this priced?
Fixed price by site and estimated device count, established on the discovery call, so the number doesn't move if the environment is larger than expected.
