SYDNEY: Orro, one of Australia’s leading end-to-end digital transformation partners, has announced it is the first in Australia to offer Digital Asset Discovery (DAD) as a managed service for operational technology (OT). This new service enables organisations to gain real-time visibility of their critical assets, monitor associated risks, and ensure ongoing compliance with evolving security regulations such as the SOCI Act.
Unlike traditional asset discovery tools that require businesses to manage deployments internally, Orro’s DAD service ensures continuous visibility and risk assessment as part of an integrated cybersecurity framework. This managed approach removes complexity, turning asset discovery from a static exercise into an ongoing security and compliance function.
Daniel Greengarten, CEO, Orro: “Orro’s Digital Asset Discovery service is the first step in a bottom-up approach to OT security, giving our customers the visibility they need to make the best decisions for their business.
“By offering this as a managed service, we remove complexity and provide ongoing insights that drive proactive security and compliance for customers both now and into the future.”
Michael van Rooyen, CTO, Orro: “Most asset discovery solutions in OT environments have been treated as one-off deployments rather than an ongoing security function. The challenge isn’t just identifying assets—it’s ensuring they remain visible, monitored, and protected in real time.
“Our managed approach goes beyond traditional discovery tools by continuously integrating risk intelligence, compliance tracking, and proactive monitoring to help businesses stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.”
Orro’s DAD service is delivered through a portable edge data centre deployed to the customer’s site, which connects wirelessly to Orro’s security operations team. Once deployed, the system:
- Identifies all OT devices within a customer’s network, including industrial control systems and IoT assets.
- Continuously monitors asset risk scores, helping businesses respond to emerging threats.
- Provides compliance-ready reporting aligned with government mandates for critical infrastructure security.
Orro’s DAD service is applicable across a range of industries such as energy, mining and healthcare, where visibility into connected assets is essential for both operational efficiency and security. Orro customers already deploying the solution include:
- A large-scale solar farm, integrating DAD with Orro’s security operations centre for end-to-end protection of renewable energy infrastructure.
- A private hospital where Orro is providing specialised clinical asset discovery to secure connected medical devices and ensure compliance with healthcare security regulations.
The new offering is available to Orro customers and partners now.
