Security & compliance designed for critical, always-on systems
Protect operational data, preserve control boundaries, and meet regulatory requirements with security built into the platform—not bolted on after deployment.
Definition
What does security & compliance mean in an intelligent digital twin platform?
Security & compliance ensure that data, models, and decisions within an intelligent digital twin platform are protected through layered controls, strict access governance, continuous monitoring, and auditable processes—while maintaining the availability, safety, and integrity required by operational environments.
Why IT-only security models don't work for OT
Operational environments have constraints that traditional enterprise security often overlooks:
- Downtime can impact safety, production, or public services
- Control systems must remain isolated and deterministic
- Changes require careful validation and coordination
- Regulatory scrutiny is often higher and more specific
- Cyber incidents can cause physical consequences
Security must protect data and insight—without increasing operational risk. That principle drives the platform's design.
Built-in protection, not afterthought controls
The platform is designed with security embedded at every layer:
Isolation by architecture
Analytics and simulation are separated from control systems—no direct control coupling.
Least-privilege access
Users and services only see what they are explicitly authorized to access.
Defense-in-depth
Multiple layers of protection across data ingestion, storage, processing, and access.
Continuous monitoring
Visibility into access patterns, anomalies, and system health.
Security is part of how the platform operates—not an optional configuration.
Controls enterprises and operators expect
Identity & access management
Role-based access, least privilege, and clear separation of duties.
Data protection
Encryption in transit and at rest, with controlled data flows across boundaries.
Auditability & logging
Comprehensive logs for access, changes, and system activity.
Environment isolation
Separation between environments, tenants, and workloads.
Secure integration patterns
Read-only OT ingestion, governed APIs, and controlled write-back workflows.
Designed for regulated and risk-sensitive environments
The platform is built to support alignment with common security and compliance expectations, including:
- Industrial and critical-infrastructure security frameworks
- Data protection and privacy requirements
- Internal security policies and audits
- Vendor risk and procurement reviews
Rather than prescribing one compliance model, the platform provides the controls needed to meet your organization's requirements.
Clear ownership, clear boundaries
Security and compliance work best when responsibilities are explicit:
You control
Data ownership, access policies, and decision authority
The platform provides
Secure infrastructure, tooling, and governance mechanisms
OT remains authoritative
For control and safety-critical actions
IT governs
Enterprise access, identity, and integration
This shared-responsibility model reduces ambiguity and risk.
When teams trust the platform
- Faster adoption of analytics, simulation, and ML
- Easier approval from security, risk, and compliance teams
- Safer scaling across sites, regions, and partners
- Reduced operational and cyber risk exposure
- Stronger foundation for digital twin initiatives
