Ot Security Posture Scorecard

OT Security Posture Scorecard 🏭🔒

Assess the security posture of Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and SCADA environments. Returns a detailed scorecard with risk ratings, gap analysis, and prioritized remediation steps aligned to IEC 62443 and NIST CSF frameworks.

Built by a CISSP/CISM certified security professional at ToolWeb.in

When to Use

• User asks to assess OT or ICS or SCADA security posture
• User wants to evaluate industrial control system risks
• User needs OT-IT convergence security analysis
• User asks about IEC 62443 or NIST CSF compliance for OT environments
• User mentions critical infrastructure security assessment
• User wants a security scorecard for manufacturing, energy, water, or utility systems

Prerequisites

• TOOLWEB_API_KEY — Get your API key from portal.toolweb.in
• curl must be available on the system

API Endpoint

POST https://portal.toolweb.in:8443/security/itotassessor

Workflow

1. Gather inputs from the user. Ask for the following:

   Required fields:

   • org_name — Name of the organization (e.g., "Acme Manufacturing Corp")
   • sector — Industry sector (e.g., "Manufacturing", "Energy", "Water Treatment", "Oil & Gas", "Pharmaceuticals", "Transportation", "Mining")
   • ot_size — Size of OT environment (e.g., "Small", "Medium", "Large", "Enterprise")
   • integration_level — Level of IT/OT integration (e.g., "Minimal", "Partial", "Full", "Air-Gapped")
   • csf_scores — NIST CSF self-assessment scores (each 1-5). Ask the user to rate their maturity in each area:
     • identify — Asset management, risk assessment (1=none, 5=optimized)
     • protect — Access control, security training, data protection (1=none, 5=optimized)
     • detect — Monitoring, detection processes (1=none, 5=optimized)
     • respond — Incident response planning and execution (1=none, 5=optimized)
     • recover — Recovery planning and improvements (1=none, 5=optimized)

   Optional fields (use if the user provides them):

   • ot_technologies — List of OT technologies in use (e.g., ["SCADA", "PLC", "HMI", "DCS", "RTU"])
   • it_tools — List of IT security tools in use (e.g., ["Firewall", "SIEM", "IDS", "EDR"])
   • threat_concern — Primary threat concerns (e.g., "Ransomware targeting OT networks")
   • compliance — Target compliance framework (e.g., "IEC 62443", "NIST CSF", "NERC CIP")
   • known_gaps — Known security gaps (e.g., "No OT network monitoring, shared credentials on PLCs")
   • team_maturity — Security team maturity level (e.g., "No dedicated OT security team")
   • assessment_depth — Level of detail: "standard" (default) or "detailed"

2. Call the API with the gathered parameters:

curl -s -X POST "https://portal.toolweb.in:8443/security/itotassessor" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $TOOLWEB_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "org_name": "<org_name>",
    "sector": "<sector>",
    "ot_size": "<ot_size>",
    "integration_level": "<integration_level>",
    "ot_technologies": ["<tech1>", "<tech2>"],
    "it_tools": ["<tool1>", "<tool2>"],
    "csf_scores": {
      "identify": <1-5>,
      "protect": <1-5>,
      "detect": <1-5>,
      "respond": <1-5>,
      "recover": <1-5>
    },
    "threat_concern": "<threat_concern>",
    "compliance": "<compliance>"
  }'

3. Parse the response. The API returns a JSON object with:

   • status — "success" or error status
   • report — Full markdown report containing executive summary, NIST CSF function analysis, top 5 priority risks, technology stack assessment, and step-by-step remediation roadmap
   • overall_score — Numeric score (0-100)
   • csf_avg — Average CSF score across all 5 functions
   • risk_level — Risk rating ("Critical", "High", "Medium", "Low")
   • org_name — Organization name echoed back

4. Present results to the user in a clear, structured format:

   • Lead with the overall score and risk level
   • Show the executive summary from the report
   • Highlight the top 5 priority risks
   • Present the remediation roadmap phases
   • Offer to dive deeper into any specific section

Output Format

Present the scorecard as follows:

🏭 OT/IT Convergence Security Assessment
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Organization: [org_name]
Sector: [sector]
Overall Score: [overall_score]/100 — [risk_level]
CSF Average: [csf_avg]/5.0

[Extract and present key sections from the report field:]
- Executive Summary
- Top 5 Priority Risks (with severity)
- Phase 1 Quick Wins (0-30 days)
- Recommended Technology Additions

📎 Full detailed report available — ask me to show any section

Note: The report field contains a comprehensive markdown report. Present the most actionable sections first (executive summary, top risks, quick wins) and offer to show the full report or specific sections on request.

Error Handling

• If TOOLWEB_API_KEY is not set: Tell the user to get an API key from https://portal.toolweb.in (plans start at ₹2,999/month or ~$36/month)
• If the API returns 401: API key is invalid or expired — direct user to portal.toolweb.in to check their subscription
• If the API returns 429: Rate limit exceeded — wait and retry after 60 seconds
• If the API returns 500: Inform user of a temporary service issue and suggest retrying in a few minutes

Example Interaction

User: "Assess the security of our water treatment plant's SCADA system"

Agent flow:

1. Ask: "I'll need a few details to run the assessment:
   • What's your organization name?
   • How large is your OT environment? (Small/Medium/Large)
   • How integrated are your IT and OT networks? (Minimal/Partial/Full)
   • Can you rate your maturity (1-5) in these areas: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover?"
2. User responds: "WaterCo Utilities, medium size, partial integration. Identify: 3, Protect: 2, Detect: 2, Respond: 1, Recover: 1"
3. Call API:

curl -s -X POST "https://portal.toolweb.in:8443/security/itotassessor" \
