IT and OT Security That Keeps the Line Running
A stopped line costs money by the minute. Your network should never be the reason.
North Texas manufacturers run plant floors where a network outage means idle machines and missed shipments, and many now supply the defense industrial base, where CMMC is a condition of the contract. Topping Technologies brings Texas manufacturers a single team: the IT that keeps production moving and the OT security that keeps controllers and engineering data safe.
What Manufacturing needs from an IT partner
The plant floor was never built with hackers in mind. Legacy PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems sit on the same network as email and ERP, so a single phishing click can ripple into production. Manufacturing needs a partner who understands operational technology, the different uptime priorities of IT and OT, and the CMMC 2.0 and NIST 800-171 requirements flowing down through defense contracts. We segment IT from OT, design for resilience across multiple sites, and build the audit evidence defense work demands. Your contracts stay intact and your line keeps moving.
Challenges we solve for Manufacturing teams
Plant-floor downtime
Every minute a line is down has a dollar figure, so we design resilient, monitored networks where an IT fault never idles production.
Flat IT/OT networks
When PLCs and HMIs share the network with email, one compromised PC can reach the controls. We segment OT from IT so that path closes.
CMMC 2.0 & NIST 800-171
Defense suppliers face flow-down requirements with real deadlines. We build the controls and evidence to keep you eligible to bid and deliver.
Legacy & unpatchable equipment
Machine controllers often run old, unsupported software. We wrap them in isolation and compensating controls so they stay protected in place.
Multi-site management
Plants, warehouses, and offices drift into inconsistent setups, so we standardize and centrally manage every location.
Ransomware & supply-chain risk
A breach can halt production and put your customers at risk, so we layer detection, response, and tested recovery across the operation.
Managed IT & security built for Manufacturing
IT/OT network segmentation
Production controls isolated from corporate IT, so an office compromise cannot reach the plant floor.
CMMC & NIST 800-171 readiness
Gap assessment, control implementation, and the documentation defense contracts require. We help you achieve compliance and keep it.
24/7 monitoring & managed detection
Around-the-clock SOC coverage tuned for manufacturing environments and the uptime they demand.
Resilient multi-site networking
Reliable connectivity and centralized management across plants, warehouses, and offices.
Backup & rapid recovery
Tested, isolated backups with recovery objectives that fit production schedules, verified so they work when you need them.
Technology procurement
Vendor-neutral sourcing of hardware and licensing for shop-floor and office needs, chosen to fit your budget and your requirements.
Compliance & frameworks we support
We map a practical, audit-ready path through the frameworks that govern Manufacturing in Texas, and we produce the documentation assessors actually want to see.
