Xertified Remote Access — secure access without exposing your network

Xertified Remote Access gives employees, suppliers and service technicians device-level access to specific IT and OT assets from any location — without granting access to the surrounding network. Replace broad VPN access with precise, auditable, time-limited connections to individual machines.

A VPN authenticates once, then opens a segment

A technician connecting to maintain one machine can see — and potentially reach — every other device on that segment. A compromised contractor credential becomes a full network breach.

This is architectural, not a misconfiguration

Network-level access control cannot express “this user, this device, this hour”. No amount of tuning changes what the model grants.

OT carries the consequences

Legacy controllers, SCADA systems and industrial HMIs were never designed to face the internet. Once reachable from a VPN session they are exposed to anyone holding a valid credential.

The Xertified approach

One Key. One Lock. One device.

01

Every user gets a PKI identity

Each user receives a unique certificate identity — their Key. No passwords, no shared logins. Credential theft alone cannot grant access.

02

Every asset gets a Lock

A Lock is installed adjacent to the protected asset. The device itself is never modified — no agent, no firmware update, no maintenance window.

03

Policy scopes the connection

WHO / WHAT / WHERE / WHEN, defined in about 20 seconds and effective immediately. No firewall, VLAN or routing changes.

04

A tunnel opens to that asset only

When Key and Lock match and policy permits, a WireGuard tunnel is established directly to the device. Nothing else on the network is visible or reachable.

Capabilities

What you get

Scope

Device-level access control

Access is scoped to individual assets, not network segments. A technician authorised to reach one PLC cannot see any other device.

Identity

PKI identity for every user

Every user and every device holds a unique cryptographic certificate. No passwords to phish, no credentials to share.

Time

Time-limited third-party access

Grant an OEM technician access to one machine for a defined window. Access expires automatically — no manual revocation.

Deploy

No infrastructure changes

Locks install inline with no modification to the asset and no changes to networks, firewalls or routing.

Audit

Full session audit trail

Who connected to what, from where, when and for how long. Exportable to SIEM and aligned with NIS2 reporting obligations.

Legacy

Works with any networked device

Regardless of age, operating system or manufacturer. If it has a network port, it can be protected.

Network

Works over any network

Corporate LAN, 4G/5G or public internet — connections work regardless of the underlying transport.

Use cases

Third-party and OEM maintenance

External technicians reach exactly the machine they service — never the rest of the operational network. Access closes with the maintenance window.

Remote work for OT engineers

Your own team reaches SCADA systems, PLCs and HMIs from home or the field, with the same precision and audit trail as on site.

Cross-organisation access

Partners, customers or regulators reach specific assets without any network interconnection between the organisations.

Mobile and non-stationary assets

Vehicles, portable equipment and field devices stay protected and reachable as they move between networks.

Addresses NIS2 Article 21 access control (21.2i), supply chain security (21.2d) and incident logging (21.2b). Supports IEC 62443 least privilege (SR 2.1) and remote session management (SR 2.6), and implements the device-level access principles of NIST SP 800-207.
