Overview
Nuvolo’s OT Security Inventory & Workflow module is designed to keep up-to-date asset information by correlating your Connected Workplace assets with information from your real-time network monitoring solution. Combined with OT Security Monitoring & Response, keep up-to-date asset information correlated with security relevant information to help secure the fleet.
Nuvolo’s OT Security Risk Assessment module is designed to provide a framework for performing risk assessments surrounding Operation Technology, build out a risk management framework, and associate controls to mitigate risk. Due to this functionality, it is inherently designed to be configured to the needs of the individual organization.

Customer will:
- Provide Manufacturers, Models, and associated Software and/or Firmware referential and metadata [as discussed in the template walkthrough] via the template provided by Nuvolo.
Risk Assessments and Findings & Control Activities and Tasks
Nuvolo will:
- Discuss Risk Assessments, generic risk assessment types, and demonstrate how to create Risk Assessment Types for use in Model Security Lifecycle Profiles
- Discuss Findings, generic findings that would be identified and pose a risk, and how to create findings and associated risk scores to be utilized in calculating potential risk
- Discuss Controls, generic controls that could be utilized to mitigate a finding, and how to create a control/finding combination to reduce potential risk
Customer will:
- Provide relevant Risk Assessment types if applicable to their environment, these may be generic such as Initial Risk Assessment, Follow-Up Risk Assessment, or more granular, New Purchase – Unknown Risk, Repeat Purchase – Known Risk.
Work Items, Work Assignments, and Delay Activities and Tasks
Nuvolo will:
- Discuss Work Item Type definitions and configure potential work items to be completed for a given control and creation of work item types for use in risk assessments
- Discuss Work Assignments that can be used for routing work items created when addressing specific controls and demonstrate how to utilize work assignments for routing.
- Discuss potential Delays that can occur when performing a Risk Assessment and associated details and demonstrate how to create new delays that may be encountered when performing Risk Assessments.
Customer will:
- Define any work types to be configured
- Define any space assignment rules to be utilized for the specified work types
- Define any associated delays to be configured
Create Model SLPs and Device Association Activities and Tasks
Nuvolo will:
- Walk through the process of creating a Model Security Lifecycle Profile for relevant manufacturer, model, and software/firmware definitions for device association
- Walk through adding Control/Finding combinations to mitigate risk associated with relevant findings
Customer will:
- Provide a sample Manufacturer, Model, and Software/Firmware definition to be utilized for the creation of a Model SLP
Preparing Work to be Performed and Generating Work Orders
Nuvolo will:
- Walk through the process of creating tasks associated with addressing findings and implementing controls, and documenting the procedural information required to perform the steps necessary to complete the relevant tasks
- Walk through the process of generating planned work orders for devices associated with the Model SLP
- Generating the work orders to have technicians perform the procedures required to implement the controls for specified findings
Customer will:
- Provide procedural information to be used for tasks required to address Control/Finding remediation
Dashboards and Reporting Activities and Tasks
Nuvolo’s OT Security Inventory & Workflow and Monitoring & Response contains out of the box dashboards and reports to be used to gain visibility into the successful correlation of asset information between systems. Nuvolo will review out of the box reports during this engagement
Risk Assessment comes with out of the box reporting functionality, we will review the dashboards, and view the status of Model SLPs to track the work items performed for securing the fleet.

Change Requests
If there is a change in scope, assumptions, capability discovered during the implementation kickoff then Nuvolo will require a Change Request. Any Change Request signed by both parties shall be effective as of the date set forth therein (each, a “Change Order”). Instances in which a Change Order shall be required include: (1) Customer’s requests for out-of-scope Services; (2) discovery of new information that requires an increase in the scope of Services; or (3) Customer’s failure to fulfill any of its responsibilities if such failure delays the Services or requires Nuvolo to incur additional time or costs in performing Services.
If the parties do not agree on a Change Order, the Engagement shall proceed as originally set forth. If, however, the existing Engagement or any specific Services cannot proceed without an executed Change Order, Nuvolo may suspend Services until the Change Order is executed.
Scheduled Timeline
The duration for the setup of the services outlined in this document is up to sixteen (16) weeks.

Delivery Terms
The duration of this deployment is up to sixteen (16) weeks. Any additional effort required related to complexity, scope or project duration will be subject to the change request process.
Any activities or tasks not specifically outlined in this Service Description are out of scope.
Nuvolo Access Requirements
Customer will provide access requirements and policies required of Nuvolo resources along with onboarding timelines prior to execution of this SOW. Customer acknowledges that all obligations of Nuvolo under this SOW will require Nuvolo (including any subcontractors) to have direct access to Customer’s ServiceNow sub- production instance(s). Administrative access will be required in the sub-production instance(s) only and at no time will Nuvolo have access to the production environment.
Services shall be preconditioned upon Nuvolo receiving such access and proportionately limited to the extent access is denied. Failure to provide timely access may result in timeline delays and costs increase as outlined in this SOW. Additionally, Customer acknowledges that Nuvolo will leverage a mix of onshore and offshore resources in support of the Engagement.
