Integration Readiness Assessment
Fifteen questions across the five dimensions that decide whether an integration survives contact with a working site. It scores each one separately and will not let four strong dimensions carry a fatal fifth, because that combination is the exact shape of the projects that fail.

UNIT 07What the reasoning on this page is drawn from. Where a standard costs money to read it is marked, and where a free document covers the same ground better it is listed first.
- NIST SP 800-82 Rev. 3NISTGuide to Operational Technology Security. Free, several hundred pages, and the most useful single document in this field. The segmentation logic in our planner follows its zone and conduit reasoning.
- ISA-95Paid standardISAThe enterprise-control integration standard the Purdue level model comes from. Levels 0 to 4 as they are actually defined.
- ISA/IEC 62443Paid standardISAThe industrial automation security series. What a customer or insurer will name when they ask how your OT is secured.
- ISO 42001 explainedISOISO's own free summary. The right first read if you are deciding whether certification is relevant before buying the standard.
Links open in a new tab so anything you have entered above survives. Every one was checked at build time; if one has rotted since, tell us and it comes out rather than getting patched from memory.
Every one of these tools is a compressed version of a conversation. If yours turned up something you would rather talk through than read about, that is what the scoping call is for — bring your result with you.
