TechAssist has supported hundreds of Australian SMEs across construction, manufacturing, logistics, law firms, mining, and professional services. Industrial IT is different. OT environments do not tolerate reboots, do not accept generic patching, and do not forgive the assumptions that work in a corporate office.
We support Australian manufacturers, mining operators, logistics operators, and industrial sites where OT and IT converge. Our work on Magnium Australia is the proof point — real industrial environments, real PLCs, real OT cybersecurity, delivered without the downtime that breaks production schedules.
How Our Industrial IT Work Runs
Three stages. Treated as production-critical infrastructure, not corporate IT.
01
OT Discovery
We map your control system — PLCs, HMIs, SCADA servers, historian, engineering workstations, instrument network. Vendor matrix and patch cadence understood before we touch anything.
02
IT/OT Segmentation & Hardening
Purdue-model-aligned network segmentation. Firewalls between levels. Identity controls. Patch windows aligned to production schedule, not corporate calendar.
03
Support & Monitoring
OT-aware monitoring. Anomaly detection tuned to industrial traffic. Incident response playbooks built for production environments.
What We Deliver
Eight capabilities specific to industrial environments.
OT Is Not Corporate IT
Most MSPs do not understand industrial environments. They run their standard patching schedule against a PLC and watch a production line stop. They roll out an EDR agent to a historian server and watch the database corrupt. They assume OT can tolerate the same restart windows as a corporate workstation.
We do not. Our engineers have run real industrial environments — Magnium Australia is the proof. Patching is scheduled around the production calendar. Cybersecurity is layered without endpoint agents on devices that cannot tolerate them. Monitoring is passive. Change management is mandatory.
Pairs with Managed IT and Cybersecurity
Industrial work sits within our broader managed IT service for the corporate side of the environment, and our managed cybersecurity for the security baseline. Mining and manufacturing clients also commonly engage our vCIO service for board-level cyber risk reporting.
