Pilz launches Industrial Security Consulting Service (ISCS) service


With its Industrial Security Consulting Service (ISCS), automation expert Pilz helps companies secure their machines and plants with a view to security. The aim of this modular service is to identify security weaknesses and find solutions based on current legal regulations and the new machinery regulation that will replace the current machinery directive in 2027. In this way, companies guarantee that their machines, installations and, above all, employees are protected.


A security incident can affect people, machines and businesses. From production breakdowns and data loss to a danger to workers operating the machine. Intentional or unintentional manipulations of a machine can also bring operations to a halt and are therefore an important reason to take security measures. The EU directive NIS 2, the Cyber Resilience Act and the Machinery Regulation require European companies to make their machines and installations safe in terms of industrial safety. To give companies an indication of their risks and damages and to comply with CE conformity, Pilz is launching the Industrial Security Consulting Service (ISCS).


Four steps to better protection of people and machines 

The ISCS consists of four modules: protection needs analysis, Industrial Security risk assessment, Industrial Security concept and Industrial Security system verification. In the protection needs analysis, Pilz experts in the company determine the scope of machines or installations to be protected and the protection goals of the system. In the second step, the risk assessment, all risks and the probability of occurrence are assessed for each part of the installation during the complete life cycle of the system. Following this, Pilz experts discuss solutions for vulnerabilities and potential hazards with the customer. 


In the third step, Pilz experts draw up an Industrial Security concept with strategies and measures for averting and reducing risks due to attacks, manipulation and incorrect operation. Rules and guidelines for the continued safe operation of the system are also drawn up. The final step, Industrial Security System Verification, verifies the effectiveness of the implemented countermeasures. 


After completion of the ISCS, machine manufacturers and operators are well prepared in view of Industrial Security and current and future legal requirements, such as the new Machinery Regulation that will become legally binding for all EU countries on 20 January 2027, have been met.
