/arckit:au-ot-security generates an ASD-aligned operational technology cyber security assessment for Australian Government, regulated-sector, and critical-infrastructure projects with connected OT, ICS, SCADA, building-management, field-device, or cyber-physical environments.

Use it when OT security matters but you do not necessarily need SOCI/CIRMP coverage. The command complements au-e8-posture and au-ism-controls: E8 and ISM provide the AU cyber baseline, while this command records OT-specific architecture, connectivity, safety, availability, supplier access, monitoring, and recovery constraints.

Prerequisites

Artefact Why it helps
/arckit:requirements Source for availability, safety, OT, remote-access, and supplier-access requirements
/arckit:stakeholders Identifies operational owner, safety owner, CISO, suppliers, and managed-service providers
/arckit:au-e8-posture (ARC-<id>-AUE8-v1.0.md) Enterprise cyber baseline
/arckit:au-ism-controls (ARC-<id>-AUISM-v1.0.md) Broader ASD control evidence for IT and OT systems
/arckit:risk Receives residual OT cyber and safety risks

Usage

/arckit:au-ot-security 001
/arckit:au-ot-security "Water SCADA Platform"

Output: projects/<id>/ARC-<id>-AUOT-v1.0.md

What It Produces

  • OT environment context and safety/availability profile.
  • ASD OT guidance alignment.
  • Definitive OT architecture and asset-view assessment.
  • IT/OT segmentation and trust-boundary assessment.
  • Secure connectivity, remote access, and supplier access review.
  • Monitoring, logging, incident response, and recovery constraints.
  • AI-in-OT considerations where relevant.
  • Cross-reference back to AUE8, AUISM, RISK, and AUSOCI where applicable.

Notes

This is a general Australian OT security command, not an energy-sector command. The later au-energy recipe should consume this artefact before adding AESCSF and energy-market obligations.
