Energy and industrial
YAVA monitors, integrates and protects the operational technology and physical security of energy and industrial sites, including remote ones with little local technical support.
Refineries, terminals, distribution networks, mining and processing operators.
The environment
What this setting is like.
Energy and industrial assets are often remote, spread over a large area, and running ageing control systems that were never meant to be connected. Local technical support is thin, and physical and cyber risk overlap.
An industrial failure has safety, environmental and financial consequences. We protect control systems, monitor assets properly, and design so that a fault does not become a disaster.
Operational and technical challenges
Where it goes wrong.
- Remote sites with limited local technical support
- Ageing operational technology and control systems
- Physical security spread over a large area
- Control systems increasingly connected to business networks
Systems we work on
What YAVA can assess, design, integrate, build or support.
The mix depends on the asset. YAVA is an integrator, not a single-product vendor, and selects equipment against the requirement from a vetted supplier network.
- Operational technology and asset monitoring
- Control and business network separation
- Perimeter, CCTV and access integration
- Remote monitoring and telemetry
- Field engineering at remote sites
- Secure communications
Relevant capabilities
What we bring to this sector.
How YAVA delivers
Delivery.
We assess and monitor operational technology, separate and integrate networks properly, and deploy field engineers who can reach and work at remote sites.
Advice, build, integration, deployment and support come from one team, so there is a single point of accountability for the whole environment.
Applicable experience

FAQ
Common questions.
Can your engineers reach remote sites?
Yes. A large part of our field team is used to working at remote sites in demanding conditions with limited support.
Do you protect control systems from cyber risk?
Yes. We separate control networks from business networks and integrate security and monitoring across the boundary.
Can your engineers reach remote and high-risk sites?
Yes. A significant part of our field team is used to working at remote and difficult sites in demanding conditions with limited support.
Do you work around live operations?
Yes. We plan and deploy around live operations so that services and throughput continue while work is carried out.
Who supports the systems once they are live?
The team that delivers the work also supports it, with service levels including out-of-hours cover agreed in advance.
Can you work within our compliance and procurement rules?
Yes. We deliver inside existing frameworks and under the applicable compliance, data and, where relevant, export-control requirements.
