It is often the case that Operational Technology (OT) systems and devices are poorly understood by a business as they are often installed and operated outside of the controls and governance exercised across the corporate IT Enterprise Architecture, resulting in the lost potential to deliver cost savings and/or maximize efficiencies or deliver improved customer experiences.

Without adequate understanding, governance and controls in place, the systems themselves can also present significant risk to a business operation in terms of:

• Cyber Security Vulnerabilities
• Lack of knowledge / understanding
• Increased Costs
• Operational Performance

Our Digital Building Readiness, Health Check and Cyber Security Risk Assessment service helps clients to address these issues and to understand the OT systems within their buildings by:

• Conducting a combined physical and logical audit of the IoT/OT applications, systems, devices and associated networks installed in your buildings
• Documenting audited systems
• Identifying Risks & Issues, including both Cyber Security and Operational Risks
• Determining OT solutions health and Digital Buildings readiness  
• Recommending actions to resolve the risks and issues identified in the audit

Technical Governance

Effective technical governance is essential, both within a project and business as usual environment, to ensure client objectives and deliverables of a digital building are met and sustained throughout the building lifecycle.

FPC’s Digital building technical governance team have significant experience in monitoring and controlling the use of technology solutions to align with the organization's goals, whilst managing risks, providing guidance and support to project teams, so as to meet the required quality standards, and comply with relevant regulations and industry best practices.

With a track record in developing governance processes and frameworks that manage and oversee both technical and non-technical aspects of projects and business operation, our clients have confidence that their investment in digitized real estate is delivered in-line with their standards and shall ultimately deliver on their strategic goals.

Cybersecurity vulnerabilities in operational technology (OT) systems pose a significant threat that leave enterprises at risk of expensive and potentially embarrassing attacks. Many OT systems are poorly documented and implemented outside of typical IT Enterprise standards and deployment / management processes, often running an undocumented shadow enterprise within a company’s buildings.

Identify OT Related CyberSecurity threats

Implement Incident Response Risk Mitigations

Deliver OT System Remediation / Upgrade Programs  

Manage OT systems and devices within your enterprise, including:

FPC will help ensure that your project maximizes the full benefits of BIM by working with all key project team members to develop fully coordinated BIM models, including:

• Project Visualization: Plan and visualize the entire project during preconstruction.
• Clash Detection: Coordinate trades and subcontractors, detecting any MEP, internal, or external clashes before construction begins to reduce the impact of them during construction.
• Maximize Design Flexibility: Simulate design parameters through simple input changes, and enable design coordination among stakeholders at design stage.
• Mitigate Risk: Reduce the risk of design based issues in construction.
• Increased Productivity: BIM data can be used to instantly generate production drawings or databases for manufacturing purposes and enables you to leverage offsite build / prefabrication and accelerate construction.
• Precision: Drawings produced from the 3D BIM model are coordinated and accurate. Hence improving the quality of construction deliverables.
• Cost Effective: Due to our streamlined modeling processes and innovative approach, we offer huge cost savings on BIM modeling to our clients.
• Quality: Our team of Engineers have over 20 years of experience and our robust quality control procedures ensure highest quality deliverables.
