Critical Infrastructure & NERC-CIP Compliance
The energy and utilities sector forms the backbone of modern society. Power grids, water systems, and pipelines are increasingly targeted by nation‑state actors and cybercriminals. Legacy OT systems, convergence with IT, and strict regulatory mandates create a uniquely challenging security environment.
Rezolute specializes in protecting critical infrastructure with NERC‑CIP compliance, OT/IT segmentation, and threat defense tailored to the energy sector.
TOP THREATS TO ENERGY & UTILITIES
Adversaries target SCADA, EMS, and substation controllers to disrupt power flow. A successful attack can cause cascading blackouts affecting millions.
Ransomware encrypts critical systems, halting operations. Energy companies face extortion that can compromise public safety and national security.
Backdoored equipment and software from vendors can provide persistent access to utility networks. Third‑party risk is a growing concern for regulators.
Disgruntled employees or contractors with privileged access can manipulate control systems or leak sensitive operational data.
NERC‑CIP audits reveal gaps in cyber security controls, leading to substantial fines, remediation plans, and reputational damage.
Industrial control systems designed decades ago lack modern security features. Unpatched vulnerabilities are routinely exploited.
COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY LANDSCAPE
HOW WE PROTECT ENERGY & UTILITIES
We guide you through the full NERC‑CIP compliance lifecycle – from gap analysis and remediation to evidence collection and audit coordination. Our team ensures you meet all CIP requirements with minimal operational disruption.
Comprehensive assessment against all NERC‑CIP standards with prioritised remediation plans.
Documentation and on‑call support during regulatory audits to achieve clean findings.
Establish sustainable policies, procedures, and training programs for ongoing compliance.
We design and implement secure architectures that isolate critical OT networks from corporate IT, while enabling necessary data flows. Our approach follows industry best practices (Purdue Model, NIST SP 800-82).
Complete inventory of all OT assets, including PLCs, RTUs, IEDs, with vulnerability analysis.
Design and implementation of segmented network layers to contain breaches and limit lateral movement.
Specialised security controls that understand industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850).
We protect your SCADA, DCS, and substation automation systems from cyber threats. Our services include hardening, monitoring, and incident response tailored to real‑time operational environments.
Secure configuration of controllers, HMIs, and engineering workstations without impacting availability.
Passive monitoring solutions that detect anomalies and threats without interfering with operations.
Network‑level protection for unpatchable legacy controllers and field devices.
When an incident occurs, every minute counts. We provide specialised IR capabilities that address the unique constraints of OT environments, ensuring safety and continuity while containing threats.
Incident response plans that account for safety, regulatory reporting, and production continuity.
On‑call experts ready to respond to breaches, ransomware, or control system anomalies.
Detailed analysis of attack vectors and system compromise to prevent recurrence.
