Assurance for vendor package systems, remote support links, strict change control, safety interfaces, and constrained maintenance windows.
Offshore and process environments depend on safe, reliable and controlled operation. Cybersecurity decisions must consider production availability, process safety, environmental risk, maintenance access and the realities of operating in remote or hazardous environments.
This includes offshore platforms, FPSOs, terminals, chemical plants, petrochemical facilities, compression systems, process packages and safety-related control environments.
Examples on this page are fictionalised, generalised or anonymised to show typical problem types without identifying real clients, real sites, real drawings, real systems or confidential project details.
Offshore and process sites often have complex OT estates made up of control systems, safety systems, package vendor systems, historians, operator workstations, engineering stations, remote support links and communications infrastructure.
Many systems are long-life assets. They may be reliable, but not always easy to patch, segment, monitor or evidence. The concern is not only data loss; it can include loss of control, unsafe operating conditions, production interruption, environmental release or delayed recovery.
Offshore and process cybersecurity involves a wide stakeholder group. Meridian approaches OT cybersecurity as an engineering and assurance problem, not just an IT problem.
Meridian Consultants supports offshore and process organisations by reviewing OT cybersecurity risks against practical operational constraints.
The focus is on defensible, proportionate improvement that supports safe and reliable operation.
A useful review should support safe, controlled and evidence-led decision-making.
Example scenario: An offshore process facility required cybersecurity assurance for several package control systems being integrated into a wider platform control network.
The objective was to review package interfaces, clarify supplier access assumptions and define evidence needed for FAT, SAT and project close-out.
