Continuity and security for mining operations.
In mining and energy, an interruption can affect production and safety. BITS connects, protects and monitors the operation — pit, plant, substation and corporate — with verifiable OT controls and coordinated response.
OT is no longer isolated
IT/OT convergence exposed industrial systems that were not designed for the internet: proprietary protocols, legacy equipment with no patch management and limited security practices.
Operational disruption
SCADA ransomware, fleet standstill and production loss measured in tons per day.
Zero visibility
OT devices with no inventory, no logs and no traffic baseline: nobody knows what talks to what.
IT/OT convergence
Flat networks: one phishing email in the office reaches the plant PLC with no control in between.
Remote access
Vendors, maintenance and shared VPNs with no session control and no record of what they did.
Compliance
NIST 800-82, IEC 62443 and CIP audits demanding evidence that does not exist today.
[ Impact to assess ]
Variables that determine the cost of an OT incident.
Quantified during the assessment; this is not a benchmark or contractual guarantee.
Segmentation is not splitting the network in two.
We design the architecture by Purdue levels under IEC 62443: each zone with its own access control and monitoring, and an industrial DMZ that stops lateral movement before it reaches plant control.

Flat network
One phishing email in the office reaches the plant PLC.
02
Segmented network
Lateral movement stops at the industrial DMZ.
How BITS solves your sector, service by service

- Access control for restricted zones and BMS
Physical security integrated with the corporate network.
Controls aligned with your sector's references
We design each solution using applicable regulations and international security standards as references. Final conformity depends on scope and the relevant assessment.
ISO 27001Mining operation with redundant links and Zero Trust access to SCADA
An example scope with redundant connectivity, OT segmentation under IEC 62443 and contractor remote access through ZTNA. Objectives are agreed per location.

What we're most asked in energy & mining
Architecture, operations and response with a single owner.
01
Reduced, measurable risk
OT attack surface inventoried, gaps prioritized by production impact and progress measured month over month.
02
Documented continuity
SOC/NOC monitoring plus response and availability objectives defined by site and contract.
03
Auditable compliance end to end
Audit-ready evidence against IEC 62443, NIST 800-82 and CIP, with a monthly executive report for the committee.
