SecurityGate.io OT third-party risk

Your OT risk includes every company with access to your plant

Integrators, equipment makers, maintenance contractors and remote support providers all touch your control systems. SecurityGate.io measures them with the same assessments you use on your own sites, so supplier risk stops living in a separate spreadsheet.

The exposure

The supplier with remote access is part of your attack surface

Industrial sites run on outside expertise. The integrator who built the control system, the OEM who supports a turbine, the contractor who connects a laptop during a shutdown: each one is a path into OT that your own controls do not cover.

Regulators have noticed. Supplier risk is now written into the main OT mandates.

How it works

One yardstick for your sites and your suppliers

SecurityGate.io sends suppliers the same kind of assessment you run internally, built on the platform's OT frameworks or on your own questionnaire. Their answers come back into the platform, not into an inbox, and sit alongside your own site results.

Follow-up happens in one place too: questions, clarifications and agreed fixes stay attached to the assessment, so nothing depends on who kept which email.

What changes

Assessments that scale to every supplier, not just the biggest ones

When assessments take hours instead of weeks, you can cover the long tail of suppliers that manual programs never reach.

From finding to fix

Supplier gaps get owners, deadlines and proof

A supplier gap becomes a remediation item just like an internal one. It can be assigned to the vendor, tracked to a due date and validated before it closes, with the conversation kept on the record.

Business impact views then show which suppliers add risk to which sites, functions and regions, so leadership can see where a single vendor's weakness would matter most.

With your IT provider

A supplier program that runs without adding headcount

your IT provider builds the program

Identifies which suppliers touch your OT, chooses the right assessment for each, and handles outreach so vendors respond on the platform rather than by email.

your IT provider keeps it moving

Reviews supplier results with you, follows up on overdue assessments and open gaps, and prepares the supply chain evidence your regulators expect.

Find out which suppliers carry the most risk into your sites

Start with the vendors that have remote or physical access to OT, then extend the same assessment to the rest.
