How the planning service works
When protecting Operational Technology from cyber threats, it's important to take a holistic approach that considers the entire OT infrastructure. This is where Industrial Defender and Cirro's professional services come in, offering consulting, design, project planning, implementation, monitoring, maintenance, and training. OT cyber security projects can be phased across different locations, departments, operation units, or cost centres, or they can be deployed across the entire infrastructure.
These two approaches can either be preventative, aiming to prevent an OT cyber event, or reactive, responding to an OT cyber event. The goal of the planning sessions is to gather as much detail as possible to design the right OT cyber defense. This includes identifying known assets, networks, existing tools and integrations, and reviewing any risk areas or concerns. Additionally, we use a network sniffer to discover any unknown devices and plan to monitor non-network devices as well. The aim of this planning is to have a holistic understanding of the risk profile and desired outcomes, helping to maintain cyber defences over time.

Fighting climate change

Commitment to Reduce Carbon Footprint and Climate-Related Initiatives In alignment with our commitment to reducing our ecological impact, we are dedicated to collaborating with our customers and suppliers to contribute to environmentally sustainable initiatives that improve ecosystems and reduce ecological impact. Our primary objective is to minimise the environmental impact of our operations. Focus on Environmental Impact Reduction Our main focus is to engage in discussions with our customers to explore collaborative approaches for reducing the environmental impact, particularly by minimising non-essential travel, to reduce energy usage and wastage of time and materials, all of which have an impact on operational consumption. As we transition back to regular operations, we are focused on reducing our physical impact, including initiatives such as flexible working, minimising printing, and enhancing recycling efforts. We are committed to optimising our physical office requirements to ensure efficient resource utilisation. Future-Focused Solutions and Efficiency We are dedicated to designing future-oriented solutions that embed efficiency into our design and delivery processes. Leveraging the momentum generated by the pandemic, we aim to build on successful new working methods. At Cirro, we are continually looking to identify potential improvements in the way we work to improve our operational efficiencies which directly impact energy usage, travel or ecological impact. By championing these initiatives, we are steadfast in our commitment to not only reduce our own ecological impact but also to actively engage with our stakeholders to foster environmental sustainability and support initiatives that have a positive impact on our world.

Equal opportunity

Delivering Social Value Theme 4 and PPN 06/20 Model Award Criteria In the following section, we elaborate on our approach to fulfilling Social Value Theme 4 and the relevant PPN 06/20 Model Award Criteria Our strategy, aligned with WSP’s 2022-24 Inclusion & Diversity Strategy, encompasses the following initiatives: Skill Development for Underrepresented Groups We are committed to supporting the development of new skills that lead to recognised qualifications for underrepresented groups. Addressing Inequality in Employment, Skills, and Pay We will demonstrate a clear commitment to identifying and addressing inequality in employment, skills, and pay within the contract workforce. This includes implementing time-bound action plans to monitor the inclusion and progression of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees from underrepresented groups. Supporting In-Work Progression Our approach includes support for in-work progression, aiming to assist individuals from disadvantaged or minority groups in transitioning into higher-paid roles by developing new skills relevant to the contract. Real-World Equal Opportunity When recruiting, Cirro has a policy to ensure that all names, ages, race or gender details are removed from CVs, so we focus on interviewing and employing the most suitable person for the role.

Wellbeing

Wellbeing Initiatives In our commitment to prioritising the well-being of our teams, we are dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of our employees, contractors, suppliers and customers. Flexible Working Support We offer flexible working conditions to our staff. They have a clearly defined job description, they know what needs to be done and they have the flexibility they need to be able to do that whilst balancing home life, physical and mental health. Internal Support Cirro’s works typically in virtual teams, it’s important that we have ‘virtual’ tea breaks and have regular discussions. Cirro also keeps an eye on the level of output expectations and workloads of employees to ensure the right resourcing levels and workloads. During periods of high-intensity working, such as working on tenders, delivering projects or whatever it might be, Cirro ensure employees take time out once this is more practically possible to ensure employees can refresh and relax.
