Connected Machinery and Remote Access: Cyber Risk on the Shop Floor

Remote diagnostics can cut downtime. They can also create a machine, system and supplier dependency that needs clear ownership, controlled access and a tested isolation plan.

Why Renewal Is the Wrong Time to Review Manufacturing Risk

The risk changes when the business changes—not when the insurance renewal date arrives. Renewal should confirm the position, not discover it.

What Does a Defensible Manufacturing Claim Actually Look Like?

A policy can establish cover. It cannot reconstruct maintenance, incident, financial and recovery evidence after a loss. A defensible claim is built before the event.

Customer, Supplier and Programme Concentration: Where’s Your Real Risk?

Concentration can sit in one customer, a sole-source supplier or an entire manufacturing programme. Measure its real operational and financial impact before it is tested.

Critical Machinery Failure: How Long Would Recovery Really Take?

A critical machine may be repairable in weeks—or replaceable only after many months. Test the real recovery timeline before downtime exposes the gap.

Key-Person Dependency: What Stops if a Specialist Disappears?

When critical knowledge, machinery access or customer trust sits with one specialist, their absence becomes an operational dependency—not merely an HR vacancy.
