Our story

From the plant floor to the board room, we speak OT fluently.

Over the past decade, our founders led major modernisation programs for power generation, manufacturing, and critical facility clients. They watched as traditional security approaches clashed with safety and reliability requirements and decided to build a better model.

Today, scada.blue blends the rigor of engineering consultancies with the agility of incident response teams. We sit alongside your operators, vendors, and executives to close the gaps that matter most.

What drives us

  • Safety and uptime are always the first priority.
  • Security programs must deliver measurable value.
  • Knowledge transfer empowers internal teams.
  • Partnerships should feel embedded, not transactional.
