The world of manufacturing is digitalising rapidly. New, hyper-connected systems are enabling efficiency gains and enhancing visibility into operations. At the same time, manufacturers are becoming more interconnected through their supply chains and partners – and more conscious of their environmental impact.
But as organisations’ digital footprint grows, so does the complexity of their systems – which often contain a mix of cutting edge and legacy technologies. This necessitates a holistic approach to safety, security and sustainability – one that considers the rapidly changing regulatory landscape.
With over three decades of relevant experience, we’re a trusted industrial manufacturing safety, security and sustainability partner.
For industrial players, operational reliability is paramount. We bring our aerospace heritage to your factory floor, focusing on rigorous risk management, quality control, and supply chain security to ensure your production is safe, efficient, and scalable.
We ensure reliability. We apply advanced risk assessment methods to your critical industrial systems to prevent failures and minimise downtime.
We optimise industrial quality. We implement rigorous Quality and Safety management processes to ensure your operations remain under control as production scales.
We secure your equipment supply. We audit suppliers of critical industrial machinery and components to ensure they meet your strict safety and quality requirements.
Airbus Protect leverages unique industrial know-how and deep expertise across IT, OT, and Product systems to deliver robust, tailored security solutions. We focus on reducing complexity and ensuring regulatory compliance, allowing manufacturers to focus on their core business while maintaining cyber resilience throughout the production lifecycle.
We simulate realistic, multi-vector attacks via Red Teaming to evaluate the resilience of your sensitive infrastructures. This is bolstered by 24/7 Managed Detection & Response (MDR) through our SOC to protect digital assets against sophisticated threats.
We conduct passive and active analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of your OT assets and existing vulnerabilities. Our experts then design and integrate bespoke security solutions to maintain the resilience of your interconnected industrial systems.
We implement ISMS and risk strategies specifically contextualised for industrial architectures. This ensures the security of both digital environments and physical products while aligning with your business objectives
We design detailed Business Continuity Plans to maintain operational functions during and after a disruption. To ensure readiness, we deliver simulation exercises that test your team’s ability to manage crises like ransomware.
We build sustainability into the core of our activities – from industrial risk management to compliance checks and crisis action plans.
We navigate regulations (IED, Seveso) and build governance frameworks that turn compliance into a competitive advantage.
Leveraging our high-hazard heritage, we model ATEX and Seveso risks to protect assets, maintain continuity, and prevent accidents.
We manage the safety engineering of integrating electrification, hydrogen, or biomass into industrial processes to optimize efficiency safely.
We measure carbon footprints, design decarbonisation roadmaps, and analyse the climate resilience of supply chains and facilities.
We apply eco-design to products and processes, reducing material usage and designing for recyclability to cut costs and impact.
We ensure compliance of hazardous substances (REACH) and qualify materials to prevent obsolescence and protect the workforce.
We ensure your ``Factory of the Future`` is safe by design. We manage safety engineering for cobots and automated logistics.

What exactly is a Safety Management System (SMS)? A Safety Management System (SMS) is a systematic and explicit approach to managing safety, encompassing the necessary organisational structures, accountabilities, policies, and procedures. It essentially applies the rigour of quality management principles to the domain of operational safety. Unlike traditional, fragmented safety programmes that might rely solely [...]
Paul Clayton is a SOC manager at Airbus Protect’s Newport campus. With five years’ experience in the role, he has a wealth of expertise. Some of which he’s passing on to his daughter Heather, who joined Airbus Protect in 2022 as a project controller. We sat down with Paul to learn more about his career […]
Meet Nicolas, a module integration architect at Airbus Protect’s Toulouse site. Tell us about your role. I’m a module integration architect specialising in integrated modular avionics (IMA) systems. What is an IMA system, I hear you ask? In a nutshell, an IMA module is an advanced avionics system used in the aeronautics industry. It is […]
