SCADA Systems & Integration Project Oversight

Role: Co-Founder & Oversight Strategist
Scope: SCADA Architecture · Measurement Systems · Engineering Coordination · Regulatory & Compliance Leadership

At SCADATend, we understand the realities of SCADA projects—where system integrators often prioritize their own margins, and SCADA managers are left balancing complex technical demands with limited support. Oversight becomes exhausting.

We provide independent project oversight that keeps your initiative on track, on budget, and aligned with operational goals. We support the SCADA Manager and every key stakeholder—every step of the way.

From vendor accountability and regulatory compliance to clean execution and final commissioning, we deliver clarity, control, and confidence from contract award to go-live.

SCADATend gives your teams the space and focus they need to keep your existing SCADA system running smoothly—without the burden of uncertainty or burnout.20

ation of your systems' integrators' performance—protecting your investment at every stage

Cybersecurity That’s Real—Not Just Talk
At SCADATend, cybersecurity isn’t something we tack on after the fact. It’s built into every project from the start—because if you don’t protect the core, you’re building on sand.

  • True Network Segmentation
    We isolate what matters: your control systems, your field data, and your enterprise traffic. That separation stops spread and limits damage when—not if—a threat surfaces.

  • Locked-Down Integrator Access
    No more “set it and forget it” access. We enforce control, track activity, and demand accountability. If they can’t follow the rules, they don’t touch your system.

  • Anomalies That Matter
    We help rationalize alarms so that real threats trigger real action. That includes intrusion patterns—not just process outliers.

  • Standards That Fit Reality
    Whether it’s NERC CIP, ISA 62443, or just good engineering sense, we apply the standards that match your risk—not just what looks good on paper.

  • Reduced Attack Surface via Polling Logic
    We push report-by-exception and limit wide-open polling where possible. Fewer queries mean fewer paths into your network.
    SCADATend Signal Reporting™ – The System Integrity Enhancer

    Also known as System Signal Reporting – the bonus layer that pays for itself, this built-in service analyzes SCADA behavior, flags cybersecurity anomalies, identifies bad-acting devices, and catches measurement drift or logic changes long before they affect operations, billing, or reputation.

    It requires no live control access and works equally well on legacy or modern systems. This is oversight you didn’t know you needed—until you see what it finds.

Your Voice of Sanity—When the Client Isn’t
We don’t sit back and document the disaster, we step in before the train jumps the track.
(Because by then, everyone’s already blaming each other.)

We step in to realign teams, clarify expectations, and create momentum where there was only friction. Because your success doesn’t depend on a platform, it depends on people finally getting on the same page.
