// for transportation operators and small businesses
New from Securidigm, for organizations with no security team and no six-figure budget: Scout for transportation control networks, and Scout for ordinary office networks, alongside Baseline.
It’s the same Scout, set up for two very different networks. Pick the one that’s yours:
For transportation control networks — pipelines, railroads, ports and terminals.
Finds the controllers, sensors and other industrial equipment that run your operation, flags what’s wrong, and gives you evidence for your TSA or Coast Guard review.
Licensed, one-time price · available now
How Scout worksFor an ordinary office network — the computers, servers and Wi-Fi at a small business.
The same Scout, tuned to the NIST CSF 2.0 framework instead of the transportation rules, so Baseline customers get proof from their own network.

Scout for offices// the problem
U.S. government reports keep finding the same things: office and control networks that aren’t kept apart, remote access that attackers use, and too little monitoring to notice.
94.4%
“The USCG found that 94.4% of their assessed entities had default passwords in place.”

Scout flags default SNMP passwords and remote logins sent unencrypted.
71%
“There was a 71% year-over-year increase in the use of stolen or compromised credentials in reported cyber incidents”

Scout lists every remote and vendor connection it sees.

Scout watches the network itself, so it catches what installed software misses.
// how they fit with securidigm’s compliance apps
Harbor, Signal and Baseline are Securidigm’s offline compliance apps: the plan and the paperwork. Scout gives each one proof from the network.
// coast guard · 33 CFR 101 Subpart F
Harbor
For ports, terminals and vessels. Scout’s equipment list, network map, third-party connections and risk items support Harbor’s registers and your Cybersecurity Plan. See Scout.
// tsa · pipeline and rail directives
Signal
For pipelines and railroads. Scout’s equipment list and connection evidence support your Critical Cyber Systems list, segmentation and monitoring sections. See Scout.
// nist csf 2.0 · small businesses
Baseline
For small businesses. Scout’s office mode lists every device on the office network and links each finding to the CSF 2.0 outcome it supports, such as asset inventory (ID.AM) and continuous monitoring (DE.CM). See Scout for offices.
Today Scout prints reports and writes an encrypted export file for each app. The apps learn to open that file when a customer asks for it; the apps change only through their own releases.
// why not just use the free tools?
Zeek, Suricata and the toolkit CISA publishes are excellent, and free. They hand you raw data. Turning it into answers, and into proof for a reviewer, takes an expert most operators and small offices don’t have.
