Take the Assessment
The assumption that “we’re too small to be a target” no longer holds. Most grain and milling teams are making the same tradeoffs: lean resources, nonstop uptime demands, and costly, complex solutions. How does your team's approach compare?
Right after completing the assessment, you’ll see a snapshot of your current approach, practical tips for your security stance, and a shared reference to use when talking to your team. There's no scoring or judgment — just a clearer picture of what small steps you can make now.
Once we’ve reviewed responses from across the show, we’ll share an anonymized look at how other facilities answered, broad patterns we see across grain operations, and a short set of themes that came up across answers.
OT cybersecurity in grain operations rarely comes down to “should we do it?” The harder question is what’s realistic to do well — and maintain — with the people, systems, and uptime constraints you actually have.
Cybersecurity often lands on the same small group responsible for operations, maintenance, and technology. Even good intentions can't prevent incidents and issues when there’s no time or ownership to keep it running.
Many solutions are built for environments with dedicated security staff and bigger budgets, so protections get partially deployed, poorly maintained, or bypassed altogether. For many grain facilities, the challenge isn’t knowing security matters — it’s finding something practical you can afford to maintain.
If a protection disrupts normal operations or requires frequent intervention, it won’t survive busy seasons — leaving teams unprepared when something breaks. The bar isn’t “perfect”, it’s what "works" in real operations.
Some facilities want help covering the fundamentals without adding heavy tooling or a lot of internal lift. SecureStart is designed for that reality — focusing on protections that tend to reduce surprise outages, shorten recovery, and take pressure off individuals when something goes wrong in OT environments.
It’s one approach among many. Whether it makes sense depends on how your facility operates and what you already have in place — which is exactly what the assessment and booth conversations at the GEAPS Exchange are meant to explore.
If you took the assessment, bring your snapshot. If you didn’t, still come talk. Either way, we’ll help you think through what “good coverage” looks like for a grain facility in practical, operational terms, not a report card.
Get answers to your questions about the quiz before you take it.
No. It’s not an audit, and it doesn’t score or grade your program. It’s a short assessment meant to support conversation, not evaluate performance.
No. It’s designed to be accessible without specialized cybersecurity knowledge.
Typically less than 5 minutes.
