Why Asset and Vulnerability Reporting?

True OT cyber resilience starts with visibility. As threats to operational technology in buildings grow more sophisticated, relying on assumptions is no longer an option. You need a clear, continuous understanding of what is in your network and where the risks are.

Asset and Vulnerability Reporting (AVR) is a managed service that delivers exactly that. By replacing periodic manual snapshots with expert-curated reporting, AVR gives you an always-current view of your BMS assets and their vulnerabilities, so weaknesses are identified before they can be exploited. The result: stronger continuity, fewer blind spots and a clear path to compliance.

Reduced attack surface & greater asset transparency

Eliminate the gray space in your building infrastructure. AVR identifies unmanaged OT assets and critical vulnerabilities, providing the transparency needed to close security gaps before they can be exploited by attackers.

Enhanced operational resilience & uptime

Support resilience by identifying risks that lead to downtime in systems like HVAC and power. AVR provides the actionable insights needed to maintain 24/7 availability and meet SLA commitments through risk prioritization.

Sustained compliance & audit readiness

Stay audit-ready for standards like NIS2 and IEC 62443 through regular assessments. AVR provides periodic reporting that reduces manual effort for facility teams while maintaining a clear path to regulatory compliance.

Featured capabilities

Vulnerability Management provides transparency on vulnerabilities of your SINAMICS drive

Asset transparency

Provides a clear, up-to-date inventory of all OT assets within the building infrastructure. By automatically identifying connected devices, it replaces manual, error-prone spreadsheets with a detailed digital footprint. The service captures essential technical details such as device names, IP/MAC addresses and vendors to ensure no asset remains hidden in the gray space.

Identify the gaps

Detects vulnerabilities and non-compliance issues by leveraging expert-curated databases. AVR cross-references the asset inventory against multiple public sources and the proprietary Siemens OT vulnerability database. This process ensures that security gaps in BMS and facility technologies are recognized before they can be exploited, offering a transparent path to regulatory compliance.
