Cyber security in mechanical engineering
The mechanical engineering industry is the backbone of industrial manufacturing and its innovative strength makes it an attractive target for cyberattacks. The increasing digitalization and networking of machines and production systems creates new challenges, particularly in the context of the NIS2 Directive and requirements for critical infrastructure (KRITIS)
Three central problems in the industry are
Attacks on industrial control systems (ICS)
The networking of machines and systems in production (Operational Technology, OT) makes companies vulnerable to cyber attacks. A targeted attack on control systems can paralyze production processes and cause high costs.
Loss of intellectual property
Sensitive data such as construction plans, prototype designs or production secrets are a coveted target for attackers. The theft of such information can lead to immense competitive advantages for competitors.
Compliance with regulatory requirements (NIS2, ISO 27001, IT baseline protection)
Mechanical engineering companies are under pressure to meet new security requirements such as the NIS2 directive and ISO 27001 to ensure compliance while optimizing their production security.
Our solutions for mechanical engineering
As your 2nd Line of Defense we understand the special requirements of mechanical engineering and offer customized solutions to establish your cyber security at the highest level. Our services include:
ISMS complete service
We develop, implement and maintain an information security management system (ISMS) that is perfectly tailored to the requirements of the mechanical engineering industry. This includes compliance with NIS2 requirements and preparation for ISO 27001 certification.
Business Continuity Management (BCM)
Production downtime can cause immense costs. We create customized business continuity concepts that ensure your company remains operational even in the event of cyber attacks or IT failures.
Cyber risk management
We develop a proactive risk management system that identifies and evaluates threats at an early stage. In this way, we create the basis for well-founded decisions to minimize security risks.
Support and preparation for audits
Whether ISO 27001, NIS2 or IT baseline protection - we guide you through the entire audit process. Our experts ensure that you meet all requirements and minimize risks.
Vulnerability Management (Attack Surface Management)
The attack surface of your systems and machines is identified and reduced through targeted analyses. We help you to eliminate vulnerabilities in IT and OT environments and protect your infrastructure in the long term.
"Thanks to the structured approach and professional advice from EOS Enterprise Open Systems, we were able to implement the TISAX certification smoothly. Today, we benefit from higher information security and a clear competitive advantage. Thank you very much for your support!"
Thomas Mohr, IT Security, Lohmann GmbH&Co. KG
"We have been collaborating with our partner, EOS Enterprise Open Systems, and I want to express that this partnership is very professional, respectful, and transparent. The team led by Mr. Reffgen has been instrumental in helping us successfully build our ISMS system and thereby making the company more secure."

We protect thousands of digital assets from cyber threats.
Over a decade of experience as a reliable partner for cyber security.
Our advice does not follow a sales agenda - but only one goal: your security.
Entry-level cyber security package
Your start to protection against cyber threats
Our introductory package provides you with a structured overview of your IT security situation. We identify risks, point out weak points and give you specific recommendations for action - comprehensible, pragmatic and according to proven standards.
1st BSI Cyber Risk Check
With an audit in accordance with DIN SPEC 27076, we systematically check your cyber security - in just approx. 2 hours with 27 questions.
2. analysis of your attack surface
We record all externally accessible attack surfaces such as public IPs and domains. By changing perspectives, we view your systems like potential hackers in order to identify security gaps at an early stage.
3. analyze weak points
An automated scan checks identified or named IP addresses for technical vulnerabilities. Any risks found are prioritized and evaluated in order to derive targeted protective measures.
4. report & measures
You receive a DIN-SPEC-27076-compliant report with clear IT risks and specific recommendations for action.
5. check improvements
A final check ensures the long-term security of your IT environment.
