Frequently Asked Questions

What makes IT and OT services different for power generation vs other industries?

Power generation requires services designed for always-on operations, safety-critical systems, and regulatory compliance.

Unlike traditional IT, changes must be controlled and downtime is often not acceptable.

What does “OT visibility” mean in a power plant?

OT visibility means having a real-time understanding of OT assets, network activity, vendor connections, and system health.

It enables faster troubleshooting, stronger security monitoring, and better operational decision-making.

What are the most common causes of unplanned downtime in power plants?

Unplanned downtime is often caused by configuration drift, undocumented changes, aging infrastructure, and vendor-related issues—not just equipment failure.

Limited visibility and poor documentation make these problems harder to detect and resolve quickly.

How do power plants securely manage vendor remote access?

Power plants securely manage vendor access by routing connections through controlled entry points, enforcing authentication, monitoring sessions, and logging all activity.

This reduces unauthorized access risk and supports compliance requirements.

How do power plants stay audit-ready for NERC compliance?

Plants stay audit-ready by maintaining accurate documentation, monitoring access, collecting evidence continuously, and validating controls regularly.

Proactive compliance reduces last-minute remediation before audits.

Why is OT discovery critical during power plant acquisitions?

OT discovery identifies systems, dependencies, and risks that are often undocumented.

Without it, new owners inherit unknown vulnerabilities that can impact operations, compliance, and valuation.

How do power generation companies avoid operational disruption during M&A transitions?

Companies avoid disruption by performing rapid OT discovery, documenting system dependencies, and establishing secure separation or integration plans before changes occur.

This ensures continuity of generation while systems and access are realigned.

What makes ProArch different from other IT and OT service providers for power generation?

ProArch combines deep power generation OT expertise with integrated IT/OT services, security monitoring, and transition support.

Unlike traditional providers, ProArch focuses on uptime-first operations, vendor access control, and real-world plant environments—delivering visibility and structure without disrupting generation.
