Time Integrity Monitoring
A microsecond difference can mean millions in losses — or a MiFID II violation.
Deployment of NTP/PTP/GNSS/radio accuracy monitoring and incident playbooks for time anomaly detection and response in critical infrastructure and financial sector.
Precise time synchronization is the foundation of critical infrastructure — from security logs through SCADA systems to financial transactions regulated by MiFID II RTS 25 (requiring 100μs accuracy). An attack on a time source (NTP spoofing, PTP manipulation, GNSS interference) can undermine logs, security protections and interlocks in distributed systems.
We design and deploy time integrity monitoring: NTP/PTP accuracy verification, GNSS/radio source health monitoring, anomaly alerts and incident response playbooks for time events.
We combine network security, OT systems and telecommunications experience with time distribution architecture expertise.
Benefits
- Time attack detection — NTP spoofing, PTP manipulation, GNSS interference
- MiFID II compliance — error-budget monitoring and RTS 25 compliance reporting
- Incident playbooks — what to do when time “drifts”
- Log protection — confidence that timestamps are trustworthy
- Resilience — failover between time sources (GNSS, radio, local oscillator)
For Whom
- Financial sector — trading venues, brokers, HFT (MiFID II RTS 25)
- Energy and TSO/DSO — SCADA with timing requirements, NIS2
- Telecommunications — 5G networks, base synchronization
- Data centers — critical infrastructure with tight timing requirements
What We Deliver
- Time synchronization architecture audit (NTP/PTP/GNSS/radio)
- Time integrity monitoring design (dashboards, alerts)
- Time anomaly incident response playbooks
- Deployment support (monitoring configuration)
- Optional retainer: monthly review and advisory
