3-Step Deployment
Three simple steps to transform your factory's security posture
Install Helper
Drop a 2MB helper on any Linux box—no rewiring or racks.
Auto-Segment
We map every PLC, HMI & sensor and draft safe allow-rules from real traffic.
Rollback & Report
Push changes with automatic rollback & one-click compliance PDF export.
Once installed, all platform modules activate: network protection, compliance evidence, incident workflows, and training automation.
Software beats hardware boxes
90% lower cost. 95% faster deployment. Zero vendor lock-in.
Traditional Firewall Stack
Rack space, cabling, vendor lock-in
Expensive per-device recurring costs
Weeks of change windows
Rewiring for every policy tweak
Blind to legacy protocols
Manual audit evidence collation

Drops on existing Linux box
Software-only, no hardware costs
Live in 15 minutes
60-s safe rollback
Maps every PLC / HMI / sensor
No separate GRC suite—evidence auto-collected
NIS2 incident reporting built-in
Training and certificates included
Result: Protection, compliance, incident response, and training—in one platform.
How Bulkhead works
1. Quick Install
Drop our 40 MB helper on any Linux PC in your factory network. Takes 15 minutes.
2. Auto-Learn
Bulkhead maps every machine and writes invisible walls between them automatically.
3. Get Protected
Your factory stays secure. Get instant rollback if anything goes wrong. Once live, Bulkhead also begins mapping compliance controls, preparing audit evidence, and enabling incident workflows and team training.
Built for real-world plants
No extra hardware
All-software approach means nothing to rack, cable or cool, IT and OT stay untouched.
60-second rollback
One click undoes any change and auto-reverts if latency rises 20 % for 5 s.
Audit-ready PDF
A compliance report your auditors and insurers can file as-is, zero post-processing.
Incident Handling Companion
OT-specific automated workflows for NIS2 incident response obligations
Bulkhead's Incident Handling Companion is built into the platform—no separate product. Most OT environments scramble with spreadsheets and email when incidents occur. Bulkhead automates the entire incident response workflow, from detection to NIS2-ready reporting.
Auto-Trigger Workflows
Automatically launch notification workflows at T+0, T+24h, and T+72h to meet NIS2 timeline requirements.
Evidence Collection
Track and gather incident evidence from people and systems. Maintain chain of custody with timestamps and hashing.
NIS2-Ready Reports
Generate compliant incident reports with all required fields for competent authorities. Export as PDF or structured data.
Tabletop Drill Automation
Create drill logs with participant lists and outcomes. Simulate incident scenarios and track team response.
Outcomes
Training Agent
Role-based micro-lessons tied to compliance controls
Compliance frameworks require documented training, but OT teams are small and busy. Our training agent creates short, role-based lessons, issues auditor-accepted certificates, and automatically re-trains when procedures change. All training records map directly to controls in your audit report.
Short, Role-Based Lessons
Tailored to job functions: vendor access for contractors, restore drills for operators, change management for engineers.
Control-Mapped Certificates
Training records automatically attach to specific controls in your audit report. Auditors see who was trained, when, and on what.
Automated Re-Training
When procedures change, the agent identifies affected personnel and triggers re-certification. No manual tracking needed.
Contractor Training
Train contractors before they enter the site. Ensure all external personnel understand your safety and access procedures.
Outcomes
Three Core Components
Purpose-built for industrial operations
Network Protection
Software-only protection with safe rollback. Invisible walls between machines, no hardware required.
- 90-s auto-rollback
- Vendor access control
- Signed audit logs
Compliance Engine
Automated evidence collection and control mapping. No spreadsheets, no manual collation—audit reports generated automatically.
- Auto-collected evidence
- NIS2/IEC 62443 mapping
- Tamper-proof reports
AI Agents
Gap closure, not just detection. Findings become tasks with owners and deadlines until every gap is closed.
- Policy generation
- Evidence orchestration
- Accountability tracking
Control-Mapping & Evidence Orchestration
AI agents close gaps that don't appear in network telemetry
Traditional monitors see packets and logs. Many compliance gaps live outside those streams—documents, approvals, assignments, supplier clauses, training, restore proofs. Bulkhead's agentic layer operates across documents, tickets, people, and devices to close these gaps.
Procedures & Policies
Draft and update missing SOPs (vendor access, change approvals, backup testing). Collect sign-offs and preserve versioned evidence.
Ownership & Accountability
Auto-map controls to owners and RACI roles, open tracked tasks, and ensure leadership sign-off.
Evidence Orchestration
Pull missing proof from people and systems integrations (restore results, risk logs, approvals) and attach to the correct control.
Cyber Awareness & Access Discipline
Detect weak practices (shared accounts, expired MFA, unverified vendor credentials) and auto-open checklists until closure.
Supplier & Contract Compliance
Parse vendor agreements, extract security clauses, and suggest corrections when controls (MFA, time limits, patch terms) are missing.
Resilience & Recovery
Verify backup frequency and restore tests; monitor freshness of continuity evidence; simulate outage and recovery playbooks.
Incident & Exercise Automation
Auto-trigger reporting workflows (T+0, T+24h, T+72h) and create tabletop drill logs with participant lists and outcomes.
Training & Competence
Enroll roles in short micro-lessons (e.g., vendor access, restore drills), issue certificates, and attach them to relevant controls.
Result: Gaps that don't appear in network telemetry—documents, approvals, assignments, supplier clauses, training, restore proofs—are created, gathered, or fixed by the agents and then proved.
