Nozomi Networks, vendor of operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and cyber-physical systems (CPS) security, announced on Wednesday Nozomi Compass, an OT-native asset and service management platform built for a new reality. AI has collapsed the time it takes to discover vulnerabilities, anomalies, and exposures across industrial environments from months to minutes. Yet, acting on them still runs through spreadsheets, IT ticketing tools, and manual processes never designed for OT. Nozomi Compass closes that gap.
“Nozomi Compass underpins our vision to provide a single source of truth for visibility, threat detection, governed workflows, compliance evidence, and trusted AI-enabled operational decision-making,” said Andrea Carcano, CEO and Co-Founder of Nozomi Networks. “Until now, operators have been working with an ineffective IT-native toolset to service their OT assets. As industrial organizations incorporate AI automation to keep pace with today’s threat and regulatory landscape, they cannot live in the unknown. Compass is the foundation that allows teams to move quickly with confidence.”
Built on Nozomi’s real-time, first-party asset data, Compass gives industrial organizations a real-time OT system of record and process-safe workflows to plan, approve, execute, and prove every change.
As vulnerability discovery continues to outpace manual remediation, this framework of unified CPS security and OT service management gives industrial organizations the source of truth they need. It is the foundation for safely adopting autonomous and agentic OT and IoT workflows grounded in real operational and threat context with a human always part of the process. Nozomi Compass turns AI-speed action into governed, auditable outcomes without risking uptime or safety.
Key capabilities of Nozomi Compass will include a trusted OT system of record built on Nozomi’s real-time, first-party OT and IoT asset data, replacing stale spreadsheets, imported records and IT-first configuration databases with a single, current source of truth. It will provide OT-native workflows purpose-built for industrial environments, incorporating OT-safe processes, Purdue-level relationships, safety criticality and full lifecycle history into asset records and workflow logic.
Compass will also support governed change and risk decisions through live risk and safety context, traceable approvals, consequence-based risk scoring and compensating controls that create a defensible record of what was authorized, changed and completed.
Continuous compliance evidence will be mapped to frameworks including NERC CIP, IEC 62443, NIS2 and TSA and generated continuously to reduce manual effort. The platform will also provide an open foundation for enterprise workflows and AI, allowing governed OT data to flow into EAM, CMDB, ITAM, ITSM, SIEM and SOAR tools while providing AI-driven tools with the contextual OT data needed to operate safely.
Nozomi Compass marks the next step in Nozomi’s platform vision to unify cyber-physical systems security and operational technology service management on a single foundation that gives customers the confidence they understand what is happening across their operational environment and control what happens next. Rather than retrofitting a generic IT platform for OT service management, Compass is built directly on the same real-time asset intelligence that powers Vantage, Nozomi’s cyber-physical security platform, giving customers a unified, current system of record and action.
“OT and IT service management have always spoken different languages,” said Moreno Carullo, co-founder and CTO at Nozomi Networks. “Nozomi Compass is purpose-built around how industrial operations work, including safety windows, process dependencies, and physical consequences, so teams can finally govern change and prove compliance without forcing OT data into an IT-shaped box.”
Nozomi Compass will be available to Nozomi Networks customers in January.
