Evaluation plan

Test a representative scope against agreed acceptance criteria.

Maintain controlled access to remote operational services as site connectivity and available transports change.

01

Select the operational scope

One facility, one control or data-center service, and one cloud service using a representative vWAN topology.

02

Verify the technical path

Have representatives from network architecture, OT operations, cloud networking, security review the architecture path and policy boundaries.

03

Review the decision evidence

Determine whether required site-to-control-center services remain reachable during a controlled path impairment while access policy remains enforced.

Acceptance criteria

Define success with observable evidence and a decision.

Use representative systems, named owners, and a controlled operational scenario.

01

The evaluation includes one representative pipeline or facility site, a control-center service, two approved transports, and a controlled path impairment.

02

OT, network, security, and application owners confirm the service relationship, remote-access policy, and transport options.

03

The team records admission state, path health, route changes, service reachability, remote-access decisions, and policy enforcement.

04

The results show whether the required operational service remains reachable while the agreed access controls remain enforced.

Operational outcome

Maintain controlled access to remote operational services as site connectivity and available transports change.

Evaluation scope

One facility, one control or data-center service, and one cloud service using a representative vWAN topology.

Decision

Determine whether required site-to-control-center services remain reachable during a controlled path impairment while access policy remains enforced.
