Introducing SecureIT-MD:
Managed IT/Security for Manufacturing
with Purpose-Built MXDR & SOC + a Cyber Warranty
SecureIT-MD combines manufacturing-focused IT services with Managed Extended Detection & Response (MXDR), our 24x7x365 Security Operations Center (SOC) services, and our data protection services, all backed by up to $100,000 in cyber warranty coverage and pre-qualified for (cyber insurance) insurability.
Unlike generic IT/security offerings, SecureIT-MD is tuned to recognize and respond to threats across Operational Technology (OT), including SCADA systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and industrial IoT (IIoT) devices. Our SOC analysts are trained to detect anomalies in real-time production traffic, correlate events across IT and OT networks, and respond to threats without disrupting critical manufacturing processes. Utilizing deep packet inspection, protocol-aware monitoring (e.g., Modbus, DNP3, BACnet), and asset fingerprinting, SecureIT-MD provides visibility into legacy and modern industrial control systems.
Key Capabilities
- SCADA & PLC Threat Detection: Behavioral analytics and signature-based detection for known ICS threats.
- OT/IT Convergence Monitoring: Cross-domain correlation to detect lateral movement between enterprise and plant networks.
- IoT Device Profiling: Continuous monitoring of IIoT devices for unauthorized changes or rogue behavior.
- Zero-Trust Enforcement: Micro-segmentation and identity-based access controls tailored for hybrid manufacturing networks.
- Cyber Warranty: Up to $100K in coverage for qualifying incidents, providing financial assurance for high-risk environments.
We get it. Once a production line starts, you don’t need outside factors shutting you down. SecureIT-MD empowers manufacturers to maximize uptime, meet compliance requirements (e.g., NIST 800-82, IEC 62443), and defend against modern cyber threats without compromising operational continuity.
Cyber Warranty
Forthright is a SPECTRA Certified Partner, which means that certain Forthright offerings (including SecureIT-MD) have been third-party vetted for resilience and are therefore covered by SPECTRA’s performance warranty.
A cyber warranty is not cyber insurance. Instead, it offers financial assurance that our services will perform as expected.
More information on SPECTRA and our third-party warranty is available upon request.
You can also review the terms and conditions here.
Lower Your Cost of Cyber Insurance
In addition to the cyber warranty, our SPECTRA certified solutions have been pre-qualified for insurability by global insurance leaders. Although Forthright is neither an insurance company nor an insurance broker, SPECTRA can connect you with an agent who will provide you with a cyber insurance quote based on you moving to our certified solution.
You read that correctly. You will get a quote on what your cyber insurance costs would be, if you were using our certified services. So, you can see the price ahead of making any decision to change service providers. You can expect cyber insurance quotes provide through SPECTRA to be less expensive, have fewer exclusions or both.
SecureIT-MD is your Roadmap to IT Maturity
SecureIT-MD is a security-enhance and manufacturing-focused version of our traditional, RunIT 365 Managed IT, services and comes with all the things you would expect from those services, including:
We guide your organization through a structured journey to achieve the maturity level your IT needs to meet business goals. Moving from reactive IT management to proactive, modern IT operations increases ROI, efficiency, and user adoption. Through our Digital Now Experience, we ensure that digital tools and processes are seamlessly integrated into your workflow, driving optimized business processes and enhanced employee productivity.
Secure & Compliant Digital Workplace
With an ever-evolving threat landscape, protecting your business is more important than ever. Forthright helps you implement governance and security practices tailored to your specific needs, ensuring your organization is compliant with industry regulations and secure from modern cyber threats. We bridge the cybersecurity gaps required by cyber insurance companies and larger organizations to help you meet the Cyber Readiness Standards necessary for doing business.
How is Forthright Different?
First, Forthright takes a security-first approach to IT management, leveraging our 24×7 Security Operations Center to ensure visibility into all malicious activity aimed at your IT systems. In 2025, IT security can no longer be an afterthought. We believe every user deserves a Secure Digital Experience and the ability to work from anywhere, at any time, and on any device, within the parameters that your company defines.
Next, we understand that the novelty has largely worn off of IT. Even with all of the new advancements in AI, no one gets particularly excited about IT. We’re out to change that. We understand that IT is a set of tools that simply need to work. Modern, Cloud-native technologies, however, can bring excitement back to IT as leveraging automation and AI make a significant impact to your business. We’d appreciate the opportunity to discuss how we’ve done this for other clients.
Remember, Forthright isn’t just another IT support provider—we focus on long-term, sustainable IT maturity and transformation.
