About Us

Our mission is not simply to add more technology to industrial environments. GridShield exists to bridge the gap between operational technology, industrial control systems, and enterprise security operations.

 

We help organisations move beyond passive visibility by ensuring telemetry, detections, alerts, asset behaviour, and operational change are monitored with discipline, context, and a clear understanding of operational risk.

​

This is no easy feat. Industrial environments are complex, safety-critical, and often built around long-lived systems that were not originally designed for modern cyber security monitoring. Effective OT and ICS security requires more than tools and dashboards. It requires an understanding of how industrial processes operate, how assets communicate, what normal behaviour looks like, and how cyber events may affect safety, reliability, production, and continuity.

​

GridShield brings experience across environments such as:

​

• Water treatment plants and wastewater facilities

• Rolling stock, including heavy rail and light rail environments

• Local manufacturing and industrial production facilities

• Food storage, cold-chain logistics, and food processing operations

• Mining, resources, and materials handling operations

• Ports, freight, logistics, and transport infrastructure

• Warehousing, automated storage, and conveyor-based operations

• Local government infrastructure and municipal operational services​

​

Across these environments, the challenge is rarely visibility alone. Many organisations already have access to telemetry from OT monitoring platforms. The real challenge is operationalising that information so it becomes useful, actionable, and aligned to how the environment actually functions.

​

GridShield focuses on making OT cyber security practical. This includes integrating industrial telemetry into enterprise security operations, engineering detections that reflect the realities of ICS and OT environments, tuning alerts to reduce noise, and helping teams identify meaningful changes in asset behaviour, logic, configuration, access patterns, and network communications. The goal is to improve resilience without disrupting the industrial processes the organisation depends on.

​

In addition to this OT and critical infrastructure experience, our enterprise cyber security capability is strengthened through our sister company, Tarian Cyber.

​

​

Tarian Cyber specialises in Microsoft-native cyber security and 24x7 managed detection and response, operating directly within customer environments to improve visibility, response, and resilience. Tarian’s focus is on helping organisations mature their enterprise security operations through platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, Entra ID, Microsoft 365, and the broader Microsoft security ecosystem.

​

This relationship provides GridShield with a strong enterprise security foundation while allowing it to focus specifically on the OT and ICS domains. Where Tarian Cyber strengthens enterprise detection, response, identity, endpoint, cloud, and security operations, GridShield applies that same operational security mindset to industrial environments where safety, reliability, asset behaviour, process continuity, and cyber-physical risk require specialist handling.

​​

GridShield’s role is to make that context visible and actionable. We help customers connect industrial reality with enterprise-grade cyber security operations, enabling better monitoring, clearer escalation, more relevant detections, and stronger operational resilience.

​

Our mission is therefore to bridge two worlds: the industrial environments that keep essential services and production running, and the enterprise cyber security operations needed to protect them.
