Digital transformation for companies with Critical Infrastructures
The modernization of IT and OT systems in sectors with Critical Infrastructures requires the utmost care: security, availability and compliance are paramount. We support operators of energy, water, transport and healthcare infrastructures in their digital transformation - with a focus on stable processes, risk minimization and regulatory requirements such as NIS2 and the BSI Act.
Our approach for Critical Infrastructures
-
Holistic analysis of IT and OT landscapes
-
Modernization of critical systems without downtime
-
Integration of security by design and IEC 62443
-
Comprehensible roadmaps for investments and compliance
-
Compliance with industry-specific security standards (KRITIS, BSI, ISO 27001)
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
What are the risks of cloud transformation?
Typical risks include data loss, loss of control over sensitive information, lack of compliance with security and data protection requirements (e.g. BSI, ISO27001). The migration itself also harbors risks such as business interruptions or integration problems if it is not carried out in a structured manner.
How does ICS support companies in secure cloud transformation?
ICS develops secure hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, focuses on security bydesign, plans transition strategies without interrupting operations and ensures full compliance with standards such as BSI IT-Grundschutz, GDPR and ISO27001.
Why is digital transformation in environments with Critical Infrastructures particularly challenging?
KRITIS operators must meet high legal standards (e.g. IT Security Act, BSI basic protection, ESG regulations). Historical legacy landscapes, live operations and strict auditability make changes complex. Transformations must never interrupt operations or create new vulnerabilities.
What does a sustainable green IT transformation involve?
Green IT means energy-efficient hardware, resource-saving software, CO₂ reduction and a circular economy for IT components. This includes measures such as virtualization, life cycle management, environmental impact monitoring and ESG-compliant reporting.
How can ICS integrate green IT into existing infrastructures?
We analyse existing systems, develop realistic amortization models, modernize hardware and software without interrupting operations and ensure ESG-compliant verification chains - in compliance with all relevant security standards.
How can IoT technologies be successfully integrated into existing IT landscapes?
ICS integrates IoT solutions risk-free through validated architectures, secure communication protocols and complete risk analyses. The aim is to make operating processes more transparent, efficient and resilient - without creating new attack surfaces.
Why is supply chain integration indispensable today?
In a networked world, suppliers and service providers have a direct impact on operational reliability. Supply chain integration enables real-time monitoring, resilience against failures and fulfills regulatory requirements such as ESG verification and documentation obligations.
How does ICS help to connect the supply chain?
ICS supports the secure digital connection of suppliers, creates real-time monitoring solutions for supply chains and integrates these seamlessly into existing IT architectures - compliant and auditable.
How long does a typical digitization project at ICS take?
Depending on the scope, a pilot project takes a few weeks. Larger projects (e.g. green IT + cloud transformation combined) run in modular phases over 6-12 months - with clearly defined handover points, validations and go-live plans.
How does ICS ensure that transformation and operation are possible at the same time?
ICS relies on live transformation during ongoing operations: no interruptions, controlled integration, redundant security layers and constant monitoring protection during every project phase.
What distinguishes ICS from other consulting companies?
ICS combines project experience in regulated industries, technical excellence, compliance expertise and a tried-and-tested approach. We do not deliver standard solutions, but customized transformation for your individual requirements.
