Critical Infrastructure Audit
AI-AssistedProtect the systems a nation depends on.
Operators of essential services and critical infrastructure face stringent regulatory requirements for security, resilience, and incident management. Non-compliance risks regulatory penalties, but more importantly, failures in critical infrastructure can have cascading impacts on public safety and national security. Our critical infrastructure audit assesses your compliance with applicable regulations, evaluates the effectiveness of your security controls and continuity plans, and prepares your organization for regulatory inspections with thorough documentation and tested procedures.
How We Work
Critical infrastructure regulations vary by sector and classification. We begin by precisely mapping your organization's regulatory obligations — determining which frameworks apply (national cybersecurity legislation, sector-specific regulations, EU directives), what specific requirements they impose, and what evidence regulators expect during inspections. We then evaluate the effectiveness of your security controls against regulatory requirements: physical security, logical security, operational security, and personnel security. Each control is assessed not just for existence but for operational effectiveness under real-world conditions.
What You Get
Comprehensive compliance assessment against applicable critical infrastructure regulations. Incident management capability assessment including detection, classification, response, communication, and regulatory reporting mechanisms. Business continuity plan (BCP) and disaster recovery plan (DRP) evaluation for completeness, realism, and test history. CSIRT reporting readiness verification. Through tabletop exercises and simulated incidents, we test whether your team can effectively detect, contain, and report incidents within required timeframes. Inspection readiness package with organized documentation and evidence.
Technologies & Tools
We use regulatory compliance frameworks specific to critical infrastructure operators. Security assessment tools evaluate both IT and OT (operational technology) environments. Incident response testing platforms support tabletop exercises and simulations. Business continuity planning tools help model impact scenarios and recovery strategies. Documentation management systems maintain audit evidence and compliance records. All assessments follow methodologies recognized by regulatory authorities, ensuring findings are defensible during inspections.
Who Is This For
Essential service operators in energy, water, transport, healthcare, banking, and digital infrastructure. Critical infrastructure operators subject to national security regulations. Organizations preparing for regulatory inspections or periodic compliance reviews. Companies that need to update outdated business continuity and disaster recovery plans. Entities in the supply chain of critical infrastructure operators with compliance obligations. We conduct mock inspections to prepare your staff for what to expect and how to respond.
