Networked systems need clear
responsibilities and protection

Connect infrastructure, information security and ongoing operation across office and production.

With every new application, data paths, access and operating tasks grow. When network, security and service are planned separately, gaps remain, especially between machines and corporate IT.

IQstruct Engineering plans and integrates networks, virtual systems, storage and identity services. Security concepts, update management and audit preparation complement technical operation. External ISMS, IT security and QM roles can support the continuous work within the company.

Infrastructure, security and operation from one source

The IT/OT area comprises two services: IT infrastructure and IT/OT security.

Network, servers, virtualisation, storage and workstations are set up, supported and operated, right up to the server hardware in the 19-inch rack. For smaller companies without their own IT team, IQstruct Engineering takes on the role of the IT service provider.

Segmentation, identities, regulated remote access and vulnerability management are created together with the plant or the application. Internal audits, tracking of measures and external officer roles carry information security forward in everyday work.

IT/OT

Office and production grow together securely

Network, security and service are planned together, especially between machines and corporate IT.

Scope of services

Build infrastructure that can be operated

Networks, servers, virtualisation and storage are considered together.

Limit data access in a targeted way

Identities, segmentation and remote access follow the agreed need.

Carry security forward in everyday work

Monitoring, updates and evidence are linked with responsibilities.

Approach in the project

  1. Two people record the network diagram with office, production, servers and transitions on the screenAi

    1

    Record the network inventory

    Office IT, production, servers, NAS and transitions are shown in one network diagram.

  2. A planner defines switches, VLANs and ports on the screen, a network rack beside herAi

    2

    Design the network

    Switches, routers, VLANs and patch panels are planned with labelled ports.

  3. Two technicians configure VLANs on the screen, the network rack with labelled cabling beside themAi

    3

    Install the network

    Cabling and devices are installed with labels, and the VLANs are configured.

  4. An employee follows traffic and device states in the monitoring while a colleague works at the network rackAi

    4

    Monitor the network

    Traffic, states and security findings are reviewed in monitoring.

Information security

Protecting confidential project data reliably

In the automotive industry, TISAX creates a common basis for handling confidential information.

Manufacturers and suppliers exchange design data, software and further sensitive project information. TISAX makes it possible to assess information security against common criteria and to share the results with business partners. As an engineering service provider in this supply chain, IQstruct Engineering likewise commits to protecting the information entrusted to it and holds a TISAX label. Clear access rights, governed data exchange and traceable responsibilities are therefore part of the cooperation in a project as well.

Information security, audits and evidence

Frequently asked questions

We are glad to answer your detailed questions in a personal conversation.

Does monitoring mean round-the-clock support?

Monitoring reports anomalies. We agree response times and possible 24/7 coverage in the SLA.

Does audit preparation replace certification?

The certification decision is made by the independent certification body; legal questions are clarified by legal experts. We prepare measures and evidence.

Do you take over the IT of a smaller company completely?

Yes. With defined service hours and an SLA, we take on the role of the IT service provider.
