Manufacturing

A stalled production line costs more by the hour than most breaches ever will.

HANDD helps manufacturers move design and supply chain data securely, prevent IP from leaking, defend the plant floor against attacks that halt production, connect ERP and OT systems that were never built to talk to each other, and modernise the legacy control systems still running the line.

Overview

Every supplier, every machine, every design file — one attack surface.

Manufacturers carry a distinct combination of pressures: engineering and supply chain data that must move securely across suppliers, partners, and sites; that same data — CAD files, bills of materials, trade secrets — at constant risk of leaking through everyday channels; a plant floor increasingly connected to the internet and squarely in ransomware’s crosshairs; ERP, MES, and legacy SCADA/PLC systems that were never designed to integrate; and industrial control systems too critical to patch and too old to easily replace. Tackled separately, these become a different vendor and a different risk register for every problem.

HANDD brings Managed File Transfer, Data Loss Prevention, AI Security, iPaaS, Application Modernisation, and the services around them together under one operating model — so plant, IT, and compliance teams work from the same evidence base.

Key industry challenges

Convergence connected the plant floor to the internet. Security didn't come along for the ride.

Design and supply chain data still moves insecurely

Email, USB drives, and unmanaged FTP scripts still carry CAD files, purchase orders, and EDI exchanges between suppliers and sites.

Intellectual property is one email away from a competitor

Product designs, bills of materials, and trade secrets leak through everyday channels long before anyone realises it happened.

Ransomware doesn't stop at the network edge

Attacks increasingly reach OT and ICS environments, halting production lines — and AI-driven maintenance tools introduce new access risks.

ERP, MES, and the plant floor don't talk to each other

Manual reconciliation between planning, execution, and supplier systems slows response to every supply chain disruption.

Legacy PLCs and SCADA systems are too critical to touch

Decades-old control systems are costly to run, hard to patch, and too embedded in production to replace without real downtime.

Customers and regulators both expect proof

Meeting ISO 27001 or IEC 62443 is one thing — producing audit evidence for OEM customers and regulators is another.

HANDD solutions

Bridging IT and OT without opening the door to the plant floor.

Managed File Transfer (MFT)

Replace email, USB, and unmanaged FTP with a single, governed platform for CAD files, purchase orders, and supplier exchanges — encrypted, monitored, and fully auditable.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Stop product designs, bills of materials, and trade secrets leaving through email or unmanaged endpoints — before they reach a competitor.

AI Security

Defend OT and ICS environments against ransomware and AI-assisted attacks, and govern how AI-driven maintenance tools access operational data.

iPaaS

Connect ERP, MES, and supplier systems through a single integration platform — closing the gap between planning, execution, and the plant floor.

Application Modernisation

Modernise legacy PLC and SCADA systems in stages — reducing operational risk without the downtime a full replacement would demand.

More Capabilities..

Delivered your way: every solution above can be consumed as a managed service — Compliance as a ServiceMFT as a Service, or ongoing Managed Services support — so your team gets the outcome without carrying all of the operational load.

Compliance and governance

Proving control over IP, suppliers, and industrial systems alike.

Global Frameworks

ISO 27001 & IEC 62443

Encrypt design and supply chain data in transit, enforce policy-backed transfer controls, and maintain the access logs OEM customers and auditors expect.

Regional & Local

Local & Regional Compliance

From regional data protection laws to national industrial cybersecurity guidelines, we help manufacturers produce the same audit trail wherever their plants and suppliers operate.

Production Use Cases

The exchanges where downtime is measured in cost per minute.

CAD & design file exchange

MFT — secure transfer of engineering drawings with suppliers and partners.

EDI & purchase order exchange

MFT — encrypted, monitored delivery of orders across the supplier network.

IP & trade secret protection

DLP — stopping product designs and formulas leaving through email or endpoints.

Supplier data protection

DLP — safeguarding shared specs and pricing data from reaching competitors.

OT/ICS ransomware defence

AI Security — protecting SCADA and PLC systems from attacks that halt production.

Governing AI in predictive maintenance

AI Security — controlling how AI tools access sensor and operational data.

ERP-MES integration

iPaaS — connecting enterprise planning with manufacturing execution systems.

Supply chain visibility integration

iPaaS — connecting supplier, logistics, and inventory systems in one view.

Legacy PLC/SCADA modernisation

Application Modernisation — phased upgrade of industrial control systems.

Smart factory enablement

Application Modernisation — preparing legacy plant systems for IIoT integration.

Secure Production Data Flow

From exposed plant floor to a governed, auditable standard.

Assess

Map every supplier, design, and OT data flow, and identify where risk and compliance gaps sit today.

Secure

Apply encryption, role-based access, transfer policies, and key management aligned to ISO 27001 and IEC 62443.

 

Automate

Turn manual supplier, design-transfer, and reporting handoffs into governed, repeatable workflows.

Monitor

Track transfer status, failed deliveries, and anomalous activity across the estate in one view.

Report

Produce audit-ready evidence for internal governance, external auditors, and regulators on request.
