Vendor access with an owner and an expiry
Remote vendor access gets an owner, a window, and an expiry. Hillstrong builds the program. Proof lands as access is granted and pulled.
Most OT vendor risk programs were inherited from IT and never adjusted. The procurement form asks if the vendor has SOC 2. Nobody asks whether the OEM engineer carries a USB drive into the cell. Remote access lives on tribal trust, and contracts say nothing about plant cybersecurity.
This service builds vendor risk you actually own. We set an OT-specific standard for OEMs and integrators, bring remote access and removable media under control, and write plant cybersecurity requirements into contracts and onboarding.
You get third-party risk managed as a discipline across every vendor that touches OT, enforced and tracked in Resilion, not delegated to trust.
// FAQ
Questions about OT third-party vendor risk
- Why does OT need its own vendor risk program?
- IT vendor risk asks whether a supplier has SOC 2. It never asks whether the OEM engineer carries a USB into the cell or how remote access is granted and revoked. OT vendor risk governs the ways third parties actually touch the plant.
- What does the program control?
- OEM and integrator remote access, removable media, on-site engineering practices, and the cybersecurity terms in contracts and onboarding, so vendor risk is owned and enforced, not left to tribal trust.
