Energy & Critical Infrastructure
Operational Continuity. Nation-State Ready.
Energy companies and critical infrastructure operators face increasingly sophisticated nation-state threats targeting OT/ICS environments. Our practice specializes in the intersection of IT and OT security, NERC CIP compliance, and industrial control system protection.
What We Deliver
Protecting the Grid. From Every Angle.
When critical infrastructure goes down, the consequences extend far beyond financial loss. We design security programs built for that reality.
OT/ICS Security
Security assessments, architecture design, and monitoring for operational technology and industrial control system environments — without disrupting operational continuity.
- ICS/SCADA security assessments
- OT network segmentation
- Purdue Model architecture review
- Asset inventory & passive monitoring
NERC CIP Compliance
End-to-end NERC CIP compliance program design, evidence collection, and audit readiness for bulk electric system owners and operators.
- NERC CIP-002 through CIP-014 coverage
- Critical asset identification
- Evidence management programs
- Internal audit preparation
Industrial Threat Intelligence
Sector-specific threat intelligence on nation-state actors and criminal groups targeting energy infrastructure — contextualized for your operational environment.
- Energy sector threat briefings
- Nation-state TTPs tracking
- Vulnerability prioritization for OT
- Incident response for ICS environments
FAQ
Common Questions
How does Paxanimi approach OT security without disrupting operations?
We exclusively use passive, non-intrusive assessment methods in OT environments — no active scanning that could destabilize industrial processes. Our OT specialists understand operational constraints and design security controls that work within your maintenance windows and uptime requirements.
What NERC CIP standards does Paxanimi cover?
Our practice covers the full NERC CIP reliability standards suite from CIP-002 (BES Cyber System Categorization) through CIP-014 (Physical Security). We support both high and medium impact BES Cyber Systems and maintain current knowledge of NERC CIP revision cycles.
Can Paxanimi help with the convergence of IT and OT networks?
Yes. IT/OT convergence is one of the highest-risk areas in energy today. We design architecture that enables the operational visibility benefits of convergence while maintaining appropriate segmentation between corporate IT and operational technology environments. We use ISA/IEC 62443 as our primary framework.
Critical infrastructure security requires operational context, not just technical knowledge.
Our OT/ICS specialists understand both — and know when uptime matters more than anything.
