ARC.Discovery - Complete Asset Visibility
Continuous, passive asset discovery that creates your single source of truth OT CMDB
ARC.Discovery provides comprehensive, non-intrusive asset identification across your entire industrial network. Using advanced passive monitoring techniques including SPAN/TAP analysis, deep packet inspection, and network metadata correlation, we map your complete OT infrastructure without any risk to operational systems.
Who it's for: OT managers, plant engineers, and CISOs requiring complete asset visibility for security and compliance initiatives. Ideal for organizations with legacy systems, shadow OT devices, or complex multi-vendor environments.
Outcomes & KPIs:
- 95%+ asset inventory accuracy within 30 days
- Discovery of 25-40% previously unknown shadow OT devices
- Dynamic topology mapping with real-time updates
- Firmware version tracking and vulnerability correlation
- Protocol-aware communication analysis and zone validation
Plant-Safe Methods: Exclusively passive monitoring using network taps and span ports. No active scanning, no device polling, and no protocol interactions that could disrupt operations. All data collection occurs outside the production network path.
Standards Mapping: Directly supports NIST CSF 2.0 Identify functions (ID.AM-1 through ID.AM-6), IEC 62443-3-3 SR 7.1 (Human User Identification), and CMMC AC.L2-3.1.1 (System and User Activity Monitoring).
Sample CMDB Output: Asset type, make/model, firmware version, communication protocols, Purdue zone/level assignment, criticality scoring, and maintenance window alignment.
Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: Will discovery activities impact our production systems?
A: No. ARC.Discovery uses exclusively passive monitoring techniques that observe network traffic without any interaction with production devices or protocols.Q: How quickly can we see initial results?
A: Initial asset inventory appears within 24-48 hours, with comprehensive discovery typically complete within 2-3 weeks depending on network complexity.Q: What data do you need from our side?
A: Network architecture diagrams, VLAN configurations, and read-only access to network infrastructure for tap/span deployment. No credentials or device access required.
ARC.Diag - Strategic Risk Assessment & Roadmap
ARC.Diag combines comprehensive attack-surface analytics with plant-safe vulnerability scanning and maturity scoring to deliver prioritized, funded roadmaps aligned to industry standards. This strategic assessment transforms complex technical findings into executive-ready action plans.
Who it's for: CISOs, compliance officers, and plant managers preparing for audits or developing multi-year security investment strategies. Essential for organizations pursuing CMMC certification, IEC 62443 compliance, or NIST CSF 2.0 implementation.
Outcomes & KPIs:
- Prioritized remediation roadmap with cost-benefit analysis
- 90%+ first-pass audit success rate
- 30% reduction in vulnerability remediation time
- Standards-aligned maturity scoring across all domains
- Maintenance window optimization for security updates
Plant-Safe Methods: Vulnerability scanning occurs only during planned maintenance windows with full rollback procedures. Attack-surface analysis uses passive network data and configuration reviews without active probing.
Standards Mapping: Comprehensive alignment with NIST CSF 2.0 Govern and Identify functions, IEC 62443-2-1 security management requirements, CMMC practices across all domains, and sector-specific overlays including NERC CIP, HIPAA/HITECH, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

A: Prioritized action items with cost estimates, resource requirements, maintenance window alignment, and business impact analysis for each recommendation.Q: How often should assessments be repeated?
A: Annually for comprehensive reviews, with quarterly updates for high-risk environments or those undergoing significant infrastructure changes.
ARC.Pentest - Controlled Exploit Validation
Rules of Engagement
Comprehensive safety protocols and testing boundaries established before any assessment activities. Clear escalation procedures and emergency stop mechanisms.
Purple Team Approach
Collaborative red and blue team exercises with defendable objectives. Joint learning sessions that improve both offensive and defensive capabilities.
ARC.Lab Pre-validation
All exploits tested first in digital twin environments before any controlled production testing. Zero-risk validation of attack paths and defensive controls.
ARC.Pentest delivers realistic threat validation through carefully controlled penetration testing that prioritizes operational safety above all else. Our purple teaming methodology ensures that both offensive and defensive teams learn and improve together, creating sustainable security improvements.
Who it's for: Security teams, OT engineers, and compliance officers requiring validated proof of security control effectiveness. Critical for organizations in regulated industries or those facing sophisticated threat actors.
Plant-Safe Testing Protocols: Every exploit attempt is first validated in our ARC.Lab digital twin environment. Production testing occurs only during approved maintenance windows with plant operations personnel present, comprehensive rollback plans activated, and immediate emergency stop procedures available. No unsafe interactions with live process controls ever occur.
Deliverables: Executive summary with business impact analysis, detailed exploit path mapping showing attack progression, identification of detection gaps in monitoring systems, updated use cases for security monitoring tools, and comprehensive remediation recommendations with implementation timelines.
Safety and Methodology QuestionsQ: How do you ensure production systems aren't impacted?
A: All exploits are pre-validated in ARC.Lab digital twins. Production testing occurs only during maintenance windows with full plant operations oversight and immediate rollback capabilities.Q: What's the difference between red team and purple team testing?
A: Purple teaming combines offensive testing with defensive team collaboration, ensuring both sides learn and improve detection/response capabilities together.Q: How long does a typical penetration test take?
A: 4-6 weeks including planning, ARC.Lab validation, controlled production testing, and comprehensive reporting phases.
ARC.Lab - Digital Twin Testing Environment
ARC.Lab creates virtualized replicas of real manufacturing environments, providing safe testing grounds for security validation, patch testing, and operator training without any risk to production systems.
