A power company responsible for the transmission and distribution of electricity to several thousand customers in a region of the country.
The company needed to bring its organization into compliance with the NIS 2 directive and improve security in the supply chain area. Key elements of the project included:
Identifying security gaps in ICT systems and critical infrastructure supporting energy supply.
Introducing mechanisms to monitor risks associated with third-party suppliers, including ICT service providers.
Increasing awareness among key personnel regarding cyber threats and new regulations.
We conducted an analysis of the client’s ICT systems, covering networks and key operational processes. We identified security gaps, including deficiencies in software updates and risks arising from inadequate access and privilege management.
We have put in place appropriate policies for working with key suppliers, such as requiring regular audits and security reports.
We implemented a simple network traffic monitoring and alerting system to quickly identify potential threats.
We have developed a simplified response plan, including procedures for isolating infected systems and notifying the appropriate people.
Thanks to the audit, the company has improved security in key areas.
Staff training has helped speed up the process of identifying risks.
Establishing rules for working with suppliers has increased operational security.
The company has begun to comply with regulatory requirements without incurring excessive costs.
The implementation of limited measures has allowed the power company to significantly improve security and minimize the risk of cyber attacks.
These actions were the first step toward full compliance with the NIS 2 directive, and through simple and effective solutions, the company has optimized its cyber security resources.
