Jaguar Land Rover, 2025.

A cyber incident stopped production in September. Manufacturing restarted in phases from October 8. The cases on this page are public record, not our clients.¹

Plant IT, on the plant floor

The plant floor.

Private 5G for a vehicle assembly plant: 180 AMRs, 400 handhelds and 250 sensors on one standalone network.²

Private 5G for a vehicle assembly plant: 180 AMRs, 400 handhelds and 250 sensors on one standalone network.²

No safety stops.

The target: no robot safety stop caused by a radio handover over one shift.²

Kept apart.

Robot and sensor networks reach the OT zone only through the OT firewall.²

The line for your requirement.

If the link to head office is cut, each plant keeps building for a stated number of hours.

We supply Cisco, Dell, HPE, Aruba and Fortinet. We stage them before they reach your plant.⁵

Back to taking orders by hand.

Clorox, August 2023: an attack moved it to manual orders at a reduced rate.⁶ We write into your requirement: we rehearse taking orders by hand, at a stated daily rate, before we rely on that plan.

Zero errors to pass.⁵

The maker's diagnostics run first, then 72 hours under load; a unit with any uncorrected error is held.

Kits leave complete.

A unit that fails burn-in is replaced from staging stock.⁵

What we check before you buy.

What in your plant stops when the link to head office is cut, and how many orders a day your manual fallback handled when last tried.

Every in-scope asset, placed in its CMMC category.⁸

CMMC.

Defense supplier? CMMC Phase 2, set for November 10, 2026, was suspended in July. No new date has been set. Phase 1 self-assessments still apply.¹² Our assessment marks whether it applies to you and why.⁹

What CMMC assesses.

32 CFR Part 170, assessed against NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2.¹⁰
