GRC for Energy & Critical Infrastructure.
Critical infrastructure operators face nation-state threats, complex OT/IT convergence, and some of the most demanding regulatory requirements in any sector. Savadub delivers GRC programs engineered for the unique challenges of energy, utilities, telecoms, and critical infrastructure organisations.
The GRC Challenges You Face
Understanding the unique compliance and risk landscape of your sector is where good GRC begins.
OT/IT Convergence Risk
The convergence of operational technology (SCADA, DCS, PLCs) with IT networks creates risk exposure that neither traditional IT security frameworks nor OT teams are fully equipped to manage alone.
Nation-State Threat Exposure
Critical infrastructure is a primary target for nation-state actors using sophisticated persistent threats — requiring advanced detection, segmentation, and incident response capabilities beyond standard commercial GRC.
Mandatory Regulatory Compliance
NERC CIP for bulk electric systems, NIS2 in Europe, and sector-specific regulatory regimes impose mandatory, auditable compliance requirements with significant penalties for non-compliance.
Legacy OT System Risk
Critical infrastructure runs on operational technology with design lifespans of 20–40 years — systems that cannot be easily patched, replaced, or updated to meet modern security standards without operational disruption.
Our GRC Services for This Sector
Tailored services that map directly to your regulatory obligations, operational risks, and audit requirements.
NERC CIP Compliance Program
Full NERC CIP standards compliance program for bulk electric system operators — BES Cyber System categorisation, access management, physical security, incident reporting, and evidence management for NERC audits.
OT/ICS Security (IEC 62443)
IEC 62443 security level assessment and implementation for industrial control systems — zone and conduit modelling, security level targets, threat and risk assessment (TARA), and compensating control design.
Critical Infrastructure Risk Assessment
Sector-specific risk assessment aligned to NIST SP 800-82 and CISA guidelines — asset criticality classification, threat scenario modelling, consequence analysis, and treatment prioritisation for critical systems.
NIS2 Directive Compliance (EU)
NIS2 implementation program for essential and important entities — governance and accountability requirements, incident reporting procedures, supply chain security measures, and national authority registration.
Operational Resilience & Business Continuity
Operational resilience framework for critical infrastructure operators — maximum tolerable disruption (MTD) analysis, recovery planning, crisis management governance, and regulatory resilience reporting.
Supply Chain Security & Third-Party Risk
Vendor and supply chain risk management program for critical infrastructure — supplier security assessments, hardware/software provenance controls, and third-party access governance.
Compliance Frameworks We Cover
Our team holds deep, practitioner-level expertise in every framework relevant to your sector — not just the names, but the controls, audit expectations, and fastest path to certification or attestation.
Ask About Your FrameworkHow We Build Your GRC Program
A structured, phased approach that delivers immediate risk reduction and builds long-term compliance maturity.
Discovery & Gap Assessment
We audit your current state against your target frameworks, identifying control, documentation, and policy gaps. You receive a prioritised findings report with a clear compliance roadmap.
GRC Architecture & Design
We design your governance structure, risk appetite statement, control framework mapping, policy library, and the tooling to support ongoing operations.
Implementation & Technical Engineering
We implement controls — technical and administrative. Policies are authored, technical controls configured, and evidence collection workflows established.
Audit Readiness & Certification Support
We prepare your evidence package, manage the auditor relationship, respond to findings, and shepherd you through to a successful audit outcome.
Continuous Monitoring & Ongoing Management
We set up continuous control monitoring, manage recurring risk reviews, update policies as regulations evolve, and provide monthly GRC reporting to your leadership.
Internal & External GRC Auditing
We provide both embedded internal audit capabilities and independent third-party audit services — including CPA-accredited audit coordination.
