OT/ICS Cybersecurity Policy Template Pack

Twelve ready-to-adapt policy templates for industrial environments, covering governance, access, network, and operations, each mapped to IEC 62443 and NIST CSF. A free pack your team can put to work today.

Every OT security program rests on a set of written policies, yet most teams either start from a blank page or try to bend IT policies that were never designed for a plant floor. This pack solves that.

It gives you twelve core OT and ICS cybersecurity policies as editable templates, each written for industrial realities such as legacy systems, availability-first operations, vendor remote access, and safety-critical processes. Every template follows a consistent structure and is mapped to IEC 62443 and NIST CSF 2.0, so your policy set lines up with the frameworks auditors expect.

Most teams start from the wrong place. Most OT teams either start policies from a blank page or bend IT policies that were never built for a plant floor. Both waste time and leave gaps. This pack gives you twelve OT-specific policies, structured, framework-mapped, and ready to adapt.

What is inside Twelve policies across four groups

Each template includes a purpose, a scope, a set of adaptable policy statements, and a mapping to IEC 62443 and NIST CSF, so nothing falls through the cracks.

GROUP 1
Governance
Master OT Cybersecurity Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Roles and Responsibilities Policy.
GROUP 2
Access & Identity
Access Control Policy, Remote Access Policy, and Third-Party and Vendor Access Policy.
GROUP 3
Network & Systems
Network Segmentation Policy, System Hardening Policy, and Removable Media Policy.
GROUP 4
Operations
Patch and Vulnerability Management, Change Management, and Incident Response and Recovery.

Who it is for

  • Built for the people who own OT policy
  • OT and ICS security leaders standing up or formalising a program
  • Plant and operations managers who need policies that fit how a plant runs
  • Compliance and GRC teams building the documented set auditors ask for
  • Organizations preparing for IEC 62443, NIST CSF, NIS2, or NCA assessments
  • Consultants and integrators who need a consistent OT policy baseline

Why use it

  • From a blank page to a working policy set
  • Skip the blank page — start from twelve structured templates, not scratch
  • Written for OT, not IT — availability-first, legacy systems, safety-critical processes
  • Framework-aligned — every policy maps to IEC 62443 and NIST CSF
  • Editable and yours — adapt the wording, approve it, put it into practice

Safety and security, together

Policies that respect safety as well as security

In an industrial environment, a security policy that ignores safety can do real harm, for example by forcing a patch or a reboot at the wrong moment. This pack is written by a team that understands both disciplines, so the policies protect against cyber risk without cutting across functional safety and plant availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a set of pre-written, editable cybersecurity policies designed for operational technology and industrial control system environments. Your team adapts the templates, approves them, and puts them into practice, instead of writing from scratch.
Twelve policies across four groups: governance (master policy, acceptable use, roles and responsibilities), access and identity (access control, remote access, third-party access), network and systems (segmentation, hardening, removable media), and operations (patch and vulnerability management, change management, incident response and recovery).
Yes. Each policy template is mapped to the relevant parts of IEC 62443 and NIST CSF 2.0, so your policy set aligns with the frameworks auditors expect and nothing is left uncovered.
Yes. The templates are written to be adapted. Each has a purpose, a scope, and a set of policy statements you adjust to your environment before review and approval.
OT environments are availability-first, often run legacy systems that cannot be patched on an IT schedule, and include safety-critical processes. A policy that copies IT practice can disrupt operations or safety. These templates are written specifically for OT realities.
It gives you a complete, framework-aligned OT policy baseline you can use immediately. For help turning the templates into an operating program, explore our OT cybersecurity services.
