Security & compliance

Security that works for oil & gas.

IEC 62443-aligned OT controls. Read-only SCADA integration. Open-source LLMs running in your tenant. Built for the security teams at upstream operators, pipeline majors and LDCs, not a horizontal SaaS that treats oil and gas as another vertical.

Principles

How we approach security for operational systems.

01

Read-only by default

WorkSync integrates read-only with every SCADA historian, CMMS, and accounting system. We cannot write setpoints, pushbutton PLC controls, or modify production records. The OT boundary is enforced in the integration layer, not a policy you have to trust us on.

02

Your tenant. Your data. Your keys.

Single-tenant architecture on SOC 2 Type II-aligned cloud (AWS/Azure). Customer-managed KMS keys for data at rest. No cross-tenant ML training, your operational data never trains a model another customer sees.

03

Open-source LLMs, your infrastructure

The agentic AI layer runs on open-source LLMs (Llama 3.x, Mistral, DeepSeek) hosted in your tenant or our dedicated US-region inference. No third-party model API calls leave your environment unless you explicitly enable them.

04

IEC 62443 thinking throughout

Zone-and-conduit segmentation. Role-based access control aligned with IEC 62443-3-3 SR 1.1 through SR 1.13. Auditable change management for every agent-triggered action. Safety is always a hard constraint, never a weight.

Controls

The specific controls your security team is going to ask about.

Identity & Access

  • SSO via SAML / OIDC (Okta, Azure AD, Google)
  • MFA required for admins
  • Role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Just-in-time privilege elevation
  • Audit logs for every access and config change

Data Protection

  • TLS 1.3 for all data in transit
  • AES-256 for data at rest
  • Customer-managed keys (BYOK/HYOK)
  • Regional data residency (US, EU)
  • Scheduled backup with 30-day retention

Application & Infrastructure

  • SOC 2 Type II in progress, report targeted Oct 30, 2026
  • Annual 3rd-party penetration test
  • Quarterly vulnerability scans
  • Code review + SAST on every commit
  • WAF + DDoS mitigation in front of public endpoints

OT Integration Controls

  • Read-only SCADA integration (unidirectional data flow)
  • Network-segmented OT connectors with allowlisted endpoints
  • No direct control-system writes from WorkSync
  • IEC 62443-3-3 alignment (SR 1.1, 1.4, 1.7, 1.10)
  • Optional on-prem edge connector for air-gapped deployments

AI / Agentic Controls

  • Open-source LLMs (Llama 3, Mistral, DeepSeek), no third-party API calls by default
  • Dedicated US-region inference · no data retention by model providers
  • Human-in-loop approval for all automated writes
  • Hard safety constraints cannot be overridden by agents
  • Full audit trail for every agent-triggered action

Compliance Scope

  • OSHA PSM-ready workflows
  • API RP 75 / SEMS-ready workflows
  • GDPR + CCPA data handling

Before you ask

Security FAQ

Does WorkSync control any field equipment?
No. WorkSync is read-only against SCADA and OT systems by default. We ingest alarms, tags, and production data; we do not write setpoints, modify PLC logic, or issue pushbutton-equivalent commands. Operators execute in the field, the platform ranks, they act.
Where does our operational data live?
Single-tenant in a region you choose (US-East, US-West, or EU). Customer-managed KMS keys for data at rest. We do not cross-train ML models on your data, your operational data never improves another customer's model.
What is your SOC 2 status?
SOC 2 Type II is in progress, with the report targeted Oct 30, 2026. All Type II controls are operating today; we're in the observation window.
What LLMs do you use?
Default deployment uses open-source LLMs (Llama 3.x, Mistral, DeepSeek) in our dedicated US-region inference pool, no third-party API calls, no data retention by any external model provider. Customers can also deploy the agent layer to their own VPC with their own LLM inference.
How do you align with IEC 62443?
WorkSync's OT integration follows IEC 62443-3-3 System Requirements (SR 1.1, 1.4, 1.7, 1.10 for identification, authentication, integrity, and session management) and 62443-4-2 component requirements where applicable. Zone-and-conduit segmentation between IT and OT is enforced by the edge connector architecture.
Do you support air-gapped / on-prem deployment?
Yes. An on-prem edge connector can run WorkSync's integration and agent layer entirely inside your network, with egress only to the web UI and customer-initiated sync. For operators with strict air-gap requirements, such as upstream majors and pipeline super-regionals, this is the default pattern.
Can I review your security documentation before a pilot?
Yes, reach out via /contact and we'll share the pen-test executive summary, architecture diagrams, and OT integration threat model under NDA. Typical security review takes 1-2 weeks before a pilot kickoff.
