Introducing New HSD Premium Partner: OT-Secure

OT-Secure recently joined Security Delta (HSD) as a premium partner! OT-Secure was founded to help organisations bridge the gap between IT and OT security. With over 28 years of experience in IT/OT environments, their founder, Jeffrey Poldervaart, recognised that traditional approaches to cybersecurity often overlook operational technology. Therefore, OT-Secure was established to make OT cybersecurity assessments scalable, automated, and accessible, enabling organisations to move from hidden risks to actionable insights. Their ambition is to grow into a leading player in automated OT cybersecurity assessments.

With their unique focus on measurable insight and scalability, they aim to be recognised among the key providers in Europe, and eventually worldwide. OT-Secure provides fully automated IT/OT security maturity assessments, based on international frameworks such as IEC 62443 and NIST 800-53. Their platform delivers instant visibility into the security posture of industrial and operational environments, combined with clear recommendations for improvement. In addition, through their group company Floricum OT Cyber Security, they offer consultancy support for policy, governance, and implementation.

Involved in the HSD Community 

OT-Secure believes in collaboration and knowledge-sharing. They first connected with HSD through the RVO trade mission to Lille (InCyber). During this mission they experienced the value of HSD’s international network and its role in bringing together cybersecurity innovators. Therefore, this event was an important step in building a relationship with HSD and joining its community. 

By becoming a premium partner, they aim to contribute its expertise in OT cybersecurity to the wider community while also benefiting from HSD’s strong network, communication platforms, and thought leadership opportunities. OT-Secure recognises that the added value of a HSD partnership lies in visibility and alignment. HSD provides a strong platform to showcase expertise, collaborate with other partners, and jointly raise the cyber resilience of organizations in the Netherlands and beyond. The ability to publish content, share insights, and connect with potential partners through HSD’s communication channels is particularly valuable.

Measure to protect

One of the biggest challenges is the lack of measurable insight in OT environments. Many organisations simply don’t know their actual security posture. Without first assessing, you cannot determine where improvements are needed, how to allocate budgets, or how to steer programmes effectively. OT-Secure believes “Assess Today, Protect Tomorrow” – measurement and clarity come first, then action. This is especially important for organisations managing multiple sites, where standardised assessments and dashboards enable consistent oversight and prioritisation. In addition, regulatory pressure from frameworks such as NIS2 and the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act increases the urgency to act, while the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals makes targeted and efficient improvement even more critical.

Therefore, they add specialised expertise in OT cybersecurity and IT/OT convergence. Their automated maturity assessments provide a standardised and scalable way to measure and improve OT security, which is unique in the market. They also bring practical experience from working with critical infrastructure, transport, and manufacturing sectors

Collaboration 

OT-Secure have worked with a variety of organisations, ranging from industrial enterprises and manufacturing companies to public infrastructure operators and IT service providers. Their experience covers both large multinational environments and mid-sized organisations that are looking to strengthen their OT security maturity.

They are particularly interested in working directly with end customers, especially industrial and production companies. These organisations often face the challenge of gaining visibility into their OT security posture across multiple sites. With OT-Secure's assessments they provide them with the insights needed to prioritise improvements, allocate budgets effectively, and steer security programmes in the right direction.

Setting the standard in OT cybersecurity

OT-Secure's ambition is to grow into a leading international player in automated OT cybersecurity assessments. They aim to set a benchmark for how industrial and production companies, as well as IT/OT service providers, gain measurable insight into their security posture. By combining automation, clarity, and scalability, they enable organisations to prioritise improvements, allocate budgets effectively, and strengthen resilience. Through strategic partnerships and international expansion, their goal is to position “Assess Today, Protect Tomorrow” as a recognised standard in the security industry.
