Built‑in security. Practical engineering.

We build security into systems — computers, production, and transport — so they’re safe by design, not by afterthought.

IDP helps teams harden what matters: devices, networks, and the software that runs them. We work hands‑on, ship documentation, and leave you with systems that stand up to real‑world abuse.

▣ Systems security across IT + OT
▣ Secure by default, observable in production
▣ UK‑based, working with SMEs & public sector
What “built‑in security” means:
  • Design reviews and threat models before code ships.
  • Hardened defaults for servers, endpoints, and field devices.
  • Defense in depth: network, device, and application layers.
  • Monitoring that catches misuse, not just outages.

Services

Modular, documented, and designed to stick.

Security Architecture & Reviews

Architecture reviews, threat modeling, and secure‑by‑default patterns for IT and OT. We prioritise high‑impact controls that are realistic for your team to operate.

  • Threat modeling & STRIDE‑style analysis
  • Network segmentation & zero‑trust patterns
  • Data protection & key management strategy

Hardening & Implementation

Hands‑on hardening for servers, endpoints, and embedded/edge devices. We baseline configs, lock down access, and document the result.

  • Secure builds for Linux & network appliances
  • Identity & access: keys > passwords; MFA where feasible
  • Telemetry: logs, metrics, and alerts that matter

Operational Security (SecOps)

Turn best practices into repeatable operations. We add guardrails and runbooks so security keeps working when everyone’s busy.

  • Patch pipelines & asset inventory that stays current
  • Backup, restore & disaster rehearsal
  • Incident playbooks aligned to NIST style response

Application & API Security

From code to deployment: secure defaults, secrets handling, and build pipelines that produce trustworthy releases.

  • Secure coding guidelines & reviews
  • Secrets management & dependency hygiene
  • Environment hardening (reverse proxies, TLS, WAF)

OT / ICS & Edge Device Security

Protect production lines and field devices from disruption or misuse. Practical controls for mixed‑vendor, resource‑constrained setups.

  • Network zoning & protocol allow‑listing
  • Firmware update & device identity strategies
  • Safety‑aware monitoring & alarm routing

Transport & Fleet Security

Secure telematics, gateways, and remote management so vehicles can be monitored safely without opening the door to attackers.

  • Gateway hardening & credential rotation
  • Data integrity checks for location & sensor feeds
  • Least‑privilege access for drivers & support teams

Industries

Computer systems · Production/OT · Transport & Fleet

Computers & Networks

Servers, endpoints, and on‑prem gateways that anchor your business. We make them tamper‑resistant and observable.

Production & Operations

Factory and site networks (OT/ICS) where uptime and safety lead. Controls that fit your process, not fight it.

Transport & Field Assets

Vehicles, remote sites, kiosks, and sensors. We secure connectivity and streamline updates in the wild.

Outcome we aim for: fewer ways in, fewer surprises, and faster recovery when something does go wrong.

How we work

Short, focused engagements with durable results.

1) Assess

Understand what you have, what you need to protect, and how it can fail. Light‑touch interviews, asset map, and quick wins list.

2) Architect

Pick the smallest set of controls that covers the biggest risks. Produce a pragmatic plan and reference diagrams.

3) Implement

Hands‑on hardening and configuration with change control. We pair with your team or operate independently.

4) Verify

Smoke tests, rehearsals, and basic adversarial checks to confirm controls work in the real world.

5) Operate

Runbooks, dashboards, and knowledge transfer so your team stays in control after we step away.

Since the early 2010s — operating as indatpro.com, focused on practical engineering with measurable outcomes.
Today — IDP partners with SMEs and public sector teams across the UK to build security into systems from the start.

Selected work

Representative examples — details available on request.

Manufacturing site network hardening

Segmented flat plant network into zones, introduced jump‑host access, and baselined device configs. Reduced blast radius and improved auditability without downtime.

  • Outcome: fewer cross‑zone paths; patch windows established
  • Artifacts: network map, access policy, runbooks

Secure remote updates for field devices

Designed a simple, signed update flow and a fallback path for devices on intermittent links. Added telemetry to confirm rollout success.

  • Outcome: lower support overhead; safer rollbacks
  • Artifacts: signing process, update SOP, device baseline

Web app & data protection uplift

Hardened reverse proxy and TLS, separated secrets from code, added least‑privilege DB roles, and set up alerting for abnormal access.

  • Outcome: cleaner deployment, better accountability
  • Artifacts: infra as code snippets, playbooks

Security principles we ship with

Not theory—defaults you can operate.

Least privilege by default

Access is earned, time‑bound, and auditable. Keys > passwords; MFA where feasible.

Defense in depth

Layered controls: network, host, application, and data. No single point of failure.

Observable systems

Logs you can read, metrics you can trust, and alerts you actually act on.

Documented operations

Runbooks, SOPs, and checklists. Easy to follow on a busy day.

Resilience & recovery

Backups that restore, drills that rehearse, and graceful failure paths.

Privacy & compliance aware

Align to NIST CSF / ISO 27001 / IEC 62443 where relevant to your sector.
