Energy & Utilities

Protect critical infrastructure, modernise OT/IT estates, and meet NERC CIP and NIS2 mandates while operating 24/7.

Industry Overview

Energy is critical infrastructure under continuous threat.

Utilities, generators, and oil & gas operators run estates where downtime is measured in public impact — and where NERC CIP, NIS2, and IEC 62443 mandates raise the regulatory floor every year. The OT / IT boundary is where most modernisation programmes succeed or fail.

Key Challenges

The pressure points this sector lives with.

OT / IT Convergence

SCADA and ICS systems no longer air-gapped, but security operating models still are.

NERC CIP / NIS2 Compliance

Continuous evidence requirements with material penalties for non-compliance.

Critical Infrastructure Threats

Nation-state attackers targeting energy operators specifically. Ransomware capable of public impact.

Legacy ICS / SCADA Estates

Equipment running unsupported firmware because the OEM "doesn't recommend" patching.

Distributed Field Operations

Remote sites, substations, and rigs requiring connectivity, monitoring, and identity controls.

Vendor Remote Access

OEMs and service providers needing privileged access without the credential sprawl risk.

Energy Zero findings in regulatory audit

Utility Achieved NERC CIP Compliance Across 6 Sites

Challenge

Inherited control posture with documentation gaps, untested incident response, and inconsistent evidence collection across 6 generation sites.

Solution

Gap analysis, policy development, technical controls implementation, automated evidence collection, and quarterly tabletop exercises.

Outcome

Zero findings in regulatory audit. Continuous-evidence model now extended to NIS2 readiness. Audit cycle time cut by 60%.
