Independent expertise for water & wastewater
Public budgets, aging SCADA, and heavy reliance on integrators make independent advice valuable. We help you get more from every dollar and defend it to stakeholders.
Flagship service: Service Agreement Strategy & Negotiation. Water and wastewater operations rely on SCADA and integrator service agreements that rarely get benchmarked. Using inside knowledge of how vendors price these agreements, we cut cost and add back the coverage you actually need.
Explore Service Agreement Strategy →Platforms we know: Rockwell, Siemens, and Schneider PLC/SCADA and integrator-built systems.
Services for water & wastewater
Every service is advisory-only and completely vendor-neutral. We deliver clear strategy and detailed instructions; your team or chosen integrator executes.

In July 2026, a coordinated attack reached internet-exposed PLCs at more than 30 water systems across Minnesota and seven states, changing passwords and locking out operators. The gaps were basic OT hygiene, not exotic hacks. You do not need a six-figure security overhaul. You need an independent assessment and a set of procedure fixes, most of them low or no cost.
A $25,000 fixed-fee assessment, not a security overhaul. We find the exact exposures the attackers used and hand you a prioritized, affordable action plan plus ready-to-use procedures. Vendor-neutral, and built to complement, not replace, your security specialists.
Start with a free OT-exposure snapshot · grant-funding eligible · approvable at the utility-manager levelExposure & remote access
Find internet-facing PLCs and SCADA and any insecure remote access, the exact attack vector.
Credentials & access control
Default, weak, or shared passwords, and exactly who can reach your controllers.
IT / OT segmentation
Whether your control network is truly separated from the office network and the internet.
Backups & recovery
Config and program backups, tested restore steps, and manual-operation runbooks.
Operator detection & alarms
Whether operators will notice a loss of control and can run the plant by hand.
Obsolescence & patch status
Aging PLCs, firmware levels, and open vendor advisories that need attention.
It is fixes, not a fortune. Most of what stops the next attack costs little: take PLCs off the public internet, put remote access behind a VPN, change default passwords, segment the network, and back up your configs. You walk away with a red / amber / green findings report, a fix-it-this-week quick-wins list, procedure and policy templates, and an action plan that is audit- and grant-ready, aligned to CISA AA26-097A, EPA / AWIA and AWWA guidance.
