Why It Matters

OTCS Compliance Across the Engineering Lifecycle

CyRail helps rail and critical infrastructure organisations stay ahead of evolving OTCS regulations, preventing costly non-conformance and avoiding expensive rework. Our analysis spans the entire engineering lifecycle — from initial design through development, deployment, and ongoing operations — identifying gaps and delivering clear, actionable remediation strategies.

Operational technology security in the UK's rail network has been critically undervalued. The potential consequences are severe. Proactive compliance is not just advisable — it is a professional engineering obligation for critical national infrastructure.

Testimonials

What engineers say

“It produced valuable assessment output that would cut through a lot of reading of documentation when evaluating multiple sources of information. Great for pulling together threads from across a documentation suite.”

Safety Critical Assurance Lead

“I liked the ability to ask additional questions on the assessment output to look for particular threads through the output.”
