Regulatory Compliance in cyber security

Regulatory Compliance - Your Path to Effective Solutions

In today's ever-evolving world, regulatory compliance is more important than ever in Operational Technology (OT) environments. Legislators and regulators are cracking down on companies, demanding preventative measures and robust governance controls to manage risk and minimize cyber incidents. Non-compliance can result in financial penalties and damage to your reputation.

Our gap assessment service identifies areas of compliance and non-compliance, providing recommendations for improvement. We don't stop there—our commitment to regulatory compliance includes full support in implementing remedial controls and guiding you on your journey to compliance.

We understand that every organization is unique, with different business operations and needs. That's why our regulatory compliance services are highly customizable, tailored to your specific requirements and the standards you must adhere to.

Understanding how critical infrastructure cybersecurity regulations differ between countries is essential for achieving regulatory compliance:

United States

The DHS leads cybersecurity efforts by publishing the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) and collaborating with sector-specific agencies. Compliance with NERC-CIP standards is legally required.

European Union

The NIS Directive establishes minimum security requirements for critical infrastructure operators and digital service providers. Each Member State appoints a national competent authority responsible for implementation and cross-border cooperation. Compliance with NIS2 is expected by September 2024.

United States

The CPNI advises organizations on protecting national infrastructure from cyber threats. They work on risk management and security strategies in collaboration with organizations. Inspectors follow the UK HSE OG86 guidance for cyber security audits.

Spain

INCIBE serves as the National Coordination Centre in Spain (NCC-ES) of the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC). They specialize in technology, research, and innovation, contributing to regulatory compliance across sectors.

Australia

The ACSC leads cybersecurity efforts for critical infrastructure in Australia. They offer guidance and collaborate with government agencies, industry partners, and international counterparts to enhance cyber security capabilities.

Saudi Arabia

The NCA ensures the protection of critical infrastructure from cyber-attacks. They establish national policies and standards while offering guidance and support to organizations for achieving regulatory compliance.

Qatar

The NCC safeguards critical infrastructure from cyber-attacks by setting policies, standards, and providing guidance and support to organizations, ensuring their regulatory compliance.

United Arab Emirates

NESA spearheads cybersecurity efforts in the UAE. They establish policies and standards and offer guidance and support to organizations to help maintain regulatory compliance.

Remember, these regulations are continually evolving, so staying updated on regulatory compliance is essential.

Assessing Regulatory Gaps in Your OT Environment

Discovering and understanding the compliance gaps in your OT (operational technology) environment is crucial for meeting regulatory compliance requirements.

Our comprehensive gap assessment process involves thorough analysis and evaluation of existing controls in relation to the relevant regulatory standards. This assessment determines whether your controls meet the requirements at an acceptable level or if additional actions are needed to bridge any gaps.

By considering factors such as risk, benefits, cost, and complexity, we prioritize the remedial efforts necessary to ensure regulatory compliance. This approach focuses on both short-term mitigations and long-term strategies, providing the most effective and efficient solutions for reducing risk.

Trust our expertise to help you navigate the complexities of regulatory compliance and achieve a secure and compliant OT environment.
