SECURING CRITICAL ENERGY
INFRASTRUCTURE
Ensuring Energy Utilities Compliance is critical for organizations to support critical infrastructure that government and defense operations rely on. These environments face higher security expectations due to their direct impact on national security and public safety.
WHO THIS APPLIES TO
Specialized frameworks designed for energy utilities compliance across the entire power grid.
GENERATION & INFRASTRUCTURE
- Energy infrastructure providers
- Nuclear energy contractors
- Power generation companies
GOVERNMENT & RENEWABLES
- Renewable energy providers supporting defense
- Utilities supporting government facilities
- SCADA & Control System Integrators
COMMON COMPLIANCE CHALLENGES
Energy and utility organizations face unique hurdles in achieving energy utilities compliance in OT/IT environments.
Protecting Operational Data
Securing industrial control and SCADA systems alongside traditional IT protocols.
Managing Access
to Critical Systems
Ensuring FIPS-validated encryption for data-in-transit without creating latency in communication channels.
Meeting CMMC Level 2 Requirements
Navigating the complex controls required for handling CUI in the energy sector.
Balancing Reliability & Security
Implementing security controls that never compromise system availability or uptime.
Compliance Across Legacy Systems
Securing outdated operational technology that wasn't built for modern threats.
Preparing for Regulatory Audits
Demonstrating continuous compliance to DoW and regulatory bodies.
KEY REGULATIONS & REQUIREMENTS
Energy and utility organizations supporting government contracts are commonly subject to strict energy utilities compliance mandates:
- CMMC Level 2 Requirements: Mandatory for handling CUI in defense supply chains
- NIST SP 800-171: The foundation of cybersecurity controls for non-federal systems.
- DFARS 252.204-7012: Reporting requirements for cyber incidents in defense contracts.
- NERC CIP Standards: Critical Infrastructure Protection for the bulk electric system.
- ITAR & EAR: Export control regulations for sensitive technologies.
- DoW Cloud Computing SRG: Security requirements for cloud services used by DoW
