Critical Infrastructure & Utilities

No — we stage segmentation in phases around your existing SCADA/ICS topology so operators retain full visibility and control throughout the cutover.

Yes. We format asset inventories, configuration baselines and chain-of-custody records to match what your CIP compliance team needs for audit.

We're vendor-agnostic and integrate around your existing ICS/SCADA platform rather than requiring a rip-and-replace.

No — NERC CIP obligations attach to registered entities, not to products, so no switch or firewall is 'CIP certified.' What audits actually require is evidence: asset inventories for CIP-002, configuration baselines for CIP-010, and a documented supply-chain risk process under CIP-013. Uniqcli supports that file from the supplier side — country-of-origin verification, serial-level chain-of-custody records and vendor documentation formatted so your compliance team can drop them into the audit package.

When the requirement is that data only ever flows one way. A unidirectional gateway enforces one-way transfer physically — typically an optical link with a transmitter on the protected side and only a receiver on the other — so telemetry, historian replication and alarms can leave the control network while nothing can be sent back in, regardless of misconfiguration or compromised credentials. Firewalls remain the right tool for the OT DMZ, where two-way protocols are unavoidable. Uniqcli sources both, and confirms the diode's supported data flows — historian, file, syslog — against your actual architecture before quoting.

Possibly — Build America, Buy America applies domestic-content requirements to infrastructure projects receiving covered federal financial assistance, and the funding agency's program terms determine whether your purchase is in scope, with waivers published for some product categories. Uniqcli doesn't make that determination for you; what we do is document country of origin on every quoted line so your grants and legal teams can evaluate coverage quickly. TAA screening for federal contract purchases is handled the same way.

Yes — this is one of the most common modernization patterns we source for. Serial device servers and protocol gateways carry Modbus RTU or DNP3 serial traffic over routable Ethernet, which lets decades-old RTUs sit behind modern firewalls and segmented networks without replacement. The details matter: Uniqcli confirms serial pinouts, protocol support and environmental ratings against your actual RTU and cabinet list before quoting, so the gateways that arrive match the field.
