Built for Energy & Utilities
Energy companies and utilities face converging pressures: nation-state actors targeting grid infrastructure, mandatory NERC CIP and OEB compliance, and operations that still rely on manual reporting and disconnected workflows. We deliver the threat intelligence and managed security your utility needs alongside the operational automation that cuts reporting overhead and accelerates outage response.
Critical Infrastructure
Protection.
Energy infrastructure is a primary target for nation-state actors. Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea maintain active campaigns against North American grid operators, with confirmed intrusions into SCADA systems, smart meter networks, and corporate IT environments that border OT.
We deliver the external threat intelligence, attack surface monitoring, and compliance-ready managed SOC that mid-market utilities need to meet NERC CIP, OEB, and CCSPA obligations without building an in-house security team.
Attack Surface and OT-Adjacent Monitoring
Continuous discovery of every internet-facing asset across your utility: customer portals, outage management systems, smart meter gateways, remote SCADA access points, and management interfaces. Inventory and exposure monitoring aligned to NERC CIP-005 electronic security perimeter requirements.
Nation-State Threat Intelligence
IOC feeds and threat actor tracking covering Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea groups active against North American energy infrastructure. TAXII 2.1 integration with your SIEM enables automated correlation against confirmed energy sector campaign indicators including Havex, Triton, and related TTPs.
Dark Web Credential and Breach Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of criminal marketplaces and stealer log markets for stolen utility employee credentials, compromised customer data, and leaked infrastructure documentation. Immediate alerts with severity context and specific containment actions when your organisation's data surfaces.
Compliance Reporting Automation
Automated workflows that pull data from your monitoring systems, assemble OEB and NERC CIP compliance documentation, and produce board-ready reports on schedule. Eliminate the 20-hour quarterly reporting cycle and the errors that come with manual data assembly.
Outage Response Workflows
Orchestrated response sequences that trigger on outage detection: notify field crews, update the customer-facing status page, log the incident with regulatory timestamps, and escalate on delay. Faster response, complete audit trails, and no coordinator bottleneck.
Field Service and Asset Optimisation
Automated scheduling and dispatch workflows that factor in asset criticality, geographic clusters, crew certifications, and preventive maintenance windows. Connected to your asset management data so field teams always have current information.
Grid Operations,
Made Intelligent.
Utilities carry significant operational overhead: compliance reports assembled manually each quarter, outage response coordinated across disconnected systems, field service schedules built on spreadsheets, and asset data that lives in siloed applications nobody talks to each other.
We build automation that connects these systems and eliminates the manual work. Compliance reporting that runs on a schedule and assembles itself. Outage response workflows that notify the right people and log the right data without a coordinator. Field service optimisation that factors in geography, asset priority, and crew availability.
Regulatory Landscape
Our services align with and support the regulatory frameworks that govern your industry.
NERC CIP Standards
Applies across eight Canadian provinces. Key requirements: CIP-005 (perimeter monitoring), CIP-007 (event logging), CIP-008 (incident reporting), and CIP-015-1 (internal network monitoring, effective September 2025).
OEB Cyber Security Standard v2.0
Requires all licensed distributors and transmitters to achieve eight cybersecurity controls at MIL2 maturity and undergo independent assessment. Annual reports due each April, penalties up to $1 million per day.
CCSPA (Canada, Bill C-8)
Designates pipelines, power systems, and nuclear facilities as critical infrastructure. Mandatory cybersecurity programs within 90 days, 72-hour incident reporting. Penalties reach $15 million per day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does your service support NERC CIP compliance?
Attack surface monitoring supports CIP-005 perimeter awareness. Dark web intelligence feeds CIP-008 incident detection. Supply chain monitoring addresses CIP-013. Our managed SOC provides the 24/7 logging CIP-007 requires. For CIP-015-1 OT-specific monitoring, we partner with vendors like Dragos and Nozomi.
We are a small municipal utility with limited IT staff. Is this relevant for us?
Especially so. Most municipal LDCs have one to three IT staff and no dedicated security personnel, yet face the same OEB and NERC CIP requirements as utilities ten times their size. Our managed service is built for exactly that gap.
What compliance reporting processes can you automate?
OEB annual reporting, NERC CIP incident log assembly, and board-level security briefing packs. We connect your existing data sources, build the report workflow, and have it running on schedule within two to four weeks.
