Bridging the gap between NCSC CAF compliance and continuous device availability

Enforcing NCSC guidelines often feels like a zero-sum game: Uptime vs. Security. 

 

Meeting the rigorous demands of the Cyber Assessment Framework requires deep visibility into OT networks, yet aggressive scanning or intrusive security tools risk tripping sensitive controllers and disrupting plant availability.

When compliance efforts rely on manual asset discovery, legacy spreadsheets, and periodic point-in-time audits, security teams remain reactive while engineering teams fight friction.

In our next episode of teissTalk with Thom Langford, we’ll explore:

• Aligning frameworks across people, processes, and technology to simplify audit preparation and demonstrate compliance with confidence
• Protecting critical infrastructure with risk visibility, ensuring strict compliance controls never compromise system availability or performance
• Automating asset mapping and risk correlation using OT-specific AI to deliver audit-ready reporting

Join us to discover how UK CNI leaders balance strict NCSC CAF compliance with continuous operational uptime.
