Architectures that stay up under attack, under load and under audit
Utilities, energy, transport, the defense industrial base, data center operators and public sector suppliers run systems that cannot fail quietly. Disruption Consulting designs, secures and operates the mission critical infrastructure behind them, across information technology and operational technology alike.
Designed to stay up
High performance architecture built for continuous operation, not best effort.
High Availability
Redundant paths for compute, network and power, with automated failover so a single component failure never becomes an outage for operators or the public they serve.
Performance Under Load
Capacity that holds through peak demand, storm response, grid events and public emergencies, not just on an average day. We design and load-test for the worst hour, not the typical one.
Resilience and Recovery
Disaster recovery and business continuity plans that are tested, not theoretical, with recovery time and recovery point objectives set by mission criticality, not convenience.
Capacity Engineering
Forward capacity planning tied to real demand growth, so infrastructure scales ahead of load instead of reacting to it, across the data center and the field.
Designed to stay secure
High security architecture for regulated, high consequence environments, built to withstand persistent and well-resourced adversaries.
Zero Trust
Every user, device and workload is verified continuously rather than trusted by network location, limiting what a single compromised credential can reach.
Network Segmentation
Enterprise, control and field networks are separated by design, with tightly governed crossing points instead of flat, fully routable networks.
Operational Technology Security
Purpose-built controls for OT and industrial control systems that respect uptime and safety requirements, where a standard IT security tool can do more harm than good.
Continuous Monitoring
Around-the-clock visibility across IT and OT estates, with detection and response tuned to the operational context of each environment, not a generic alert feed.
CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 Alignment
For defense industrial base and public sector suppliers, we align architecture, controls and evidence to CMMC and NIST SP 800-171. For utilities, we align to the NERC CIP framework. Disruption Consulting supports the path to compliance; it does not claim certification on a client's behalf.
IT and OT, one estate
Information technology and operational technology are managed as a single estate, not two organizations that happen to share a building. That means:
- Asset inventory across IT and OT, so every system, controller and endpoint is known before it needs to be defended.
- Segmentation between enterprise and control networks, enforced at defined, monitored crossing points.
- Patching windows that respect operations, coordinated with maintenance schedules instead of forced during production.
- Vendor remote access control, so third-party maintenance connections are time-boxed, logged and revoked on schedule.
Mission critical operations
A 24/7 network operations center and security operations center, backed by the solutions that keep IT and OT estates secure and automated.
