IT and cyber security built for building and engineering.
Your building and engineering company faces increasing pressure to modernise operations while defending against cyber threats. From ransomware targeting production systems to outdated legacy infrastructure, the risks are real and costly.
That’s why specialised IT support for the the building and engineering industry is more vital than ever. From managing day-to-day tech challenges to defending against cyber threats, having the right partner ensures your business can continue providing its services with no interruption.
Operational technology (OT) security and network segmentation
- Building environments rely heavily on industrial control systems (ICS) and IoT devices, which are often vulnerable to cyber threats due to outdated software and lack of segmentation from corporate networks.
- CSG designs secure network architectures that separate OT from IT environments, reducing risk exposure through legacy systems, cyber essentials, smart-manufacturing and firewalls. We implement monitoring tools, patch management and threat detection which have been defined for industrial systems, keeping production lines safe and operational.
Who we work with
Building and engineering current IT challenges & how CSG helps:
1. Operational Technology (OT) vulnerabilities
Legacy systems in building and engineering companies often lack modern security controls, making them prime targets for cyber attacks. At CSG, our expert team helps your business secure both your OT and IT environments with industry-specific solutions, including threat monitoring and incident response, ensuring your production remains safe, resilient and compliant.
2. Ransomware & downtime risks
Cyber attacks can halt production, disrupt supply chains, and lead to significant financial losses. CSG modernises your infrastructure (from cloud migration to network optimisation) to reduce downtime and strengthen defences against ransomware, keeping operations running smoothly.
3. Compliance with ISO 27001, GDPR & NIS2
Within the building and manufacturing industry, companies must meet strict data protection and risk management standards to avoid penalties and maintain trust. At CSG, we guide you through compliance with ISO, GDPR and sector-specific regulations via audits, documentation and ongoing support – making certification achievable and sustainable.
4. Third-party and supply chain exposure
Interconnected systems with suppliers and partners increase the risk of breaches through external access points. This is something we see every day at CSG, the struggle to manage your third-party stakeholders and supply chains. How can we help? CSG integrates AI and automation tools to deliver real-time analytics and smarter decision-making, helping you monitor and secure your supply chain ecosystem proactively.
