This course is for you if...

You work at a pharmaceutical, Life Science or food and beverage company and have responsibility over security, engineering or quality of plant systems.

Management / CISO

You own the NIS2 obligation and defend the investment

You understand risk, personal liability under Art. 20, and the investment priorities needed to protect your plant.

Engineering / Automation

You design and implement the secure architecture

You learn to segment the OT network, apply IEC 62443 and choose the right defense technologies for real-time environments.

QA / Validation Manager

You integrate security into the quality system

You align NIS2 and IEC 62443 with GAMP 5 without breaking GxP qualification or triggering unplanned revalidations.

What you take away

What you take away

This is not a regulatory theory course. It is an applied engineering program with a hands-on workshop on a real plant architecture and skills you can use the following week.

01

Workshop on a real plant architecture

Workshop on a real plant architecture

Module 8 has participants practice on a real plant. You leave with a method you can apply immediately, not just slides.

Making sure security does not stop the plant.

02

Multi-compliance in a single program

Multi-compliance in a single program

The only course that connects NIS2, IEC 62443 and GAMP 5. Estimated 40 to 60 percent reduction in audits and documentation.

Making sure security does not stop the plant.

03

OT security without voiding GxP qualification

OT security without voiding GxP qualification

Solves the typical pharma blocker: segmenting and securing the network without compromising process validation.

Making sure security does not stop the plant.

04

A shared language across departments

A shared language across departments

Management, Engineering and QA leave aligned on risk, priorities and accountability. Less friction, faster decisions.

Making sure security does not stop the plant.

05

Real sector cases

Real sector cases

Incidents that have shut down pharma plants. Instructors are engineers with direct plant experience, not generalist auditors.

Making sure security does not stop the plant.

06

30-day post-course support

30-day post-course support

A Q&A support session included in the 30 days following the course to apply what you learned to your own plant.

Making sure security does not stop the plant.
