Client Success Stories

Real-world examples of how we've helped energy organizations strengthen their security posture and achieve regulatory compliance

Regional Transmission Organization NERC CIP Compliance

Power Transmission

Challenge

A regional transmission organization operating across multiple states faced significant challenges meeting NERC CIP version 5 requirements. With over 200 critical cyber assets spread across 50 substations, they struggled to implement consistent security controls and maintain documentation. Previous compliance audits had identified 15 violations, resulting in substantial penalties and damage to reputation.

Our Solution

Devmetric conducted a comprehensive gap analysis and developed a phased implementation roadmap. We established a centralized compliance management system, implemented automated monitoring solutions, and trained their security team on NERC CIP requirements. Our team worked alongside their operations personnel to design security architectures that met compliance standards without disrupting critical operations. We implemented electronic access control systems, security event monitoring, and incident response procedures tailored to their operational environment.

Major Utility SCADA Security Transformation

Power Distribution

Challenge

A major investor-owned utility serving 2 million customers needed to modernize their SCADA infrastructure while maintaining operational availability and implementing robust cybersecurity controls. Their legacy systems had numerous security vulnerabilities, flat network architecture, and limited visibility into potential cyber threats. The utility faced increasing pressure from regulators and concerns about nation-state threats targeting energy infrastructure.

Our Solution

We designed and implemented a comprehensive security architecture featuring network segmentation, industrial firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and security information and event management (SIEM) solutions. Our team conducted thorough security assessments of all SCADA components and implemented a defense-in-depth strategy. We established a 24/7 security operations center specifically designed for monitoring operational technology environments and developed customized use cases for detecting threats to industrial control systems.

Natural Gas Pipeline Cybersecurity Program Development

Pipeline Operations

Challenge

A major interstate natural gas pipeline operator needed to rapidly develop and implement a comprehensive cybersecurity program following new TSA security directives. With limited internal cybersecurity expertise and thousands of miles of pipeline infrastructure, they required a structured approach to identify critical systems, assess risks, and implement appropriate security measures within aggressive regulatory timelines.

Our Solution

Devmetric deployed a rapid response team to conduct asset inventories, perform risk assessments, and develop a cybersecurity implementation plan aligned with TSA requirements and industry best practices. We established security governance frameworks, implemented network segmentation for operational technology, deployed continuous monitoring solutions, and developed incident response capabilities. Our team provided hands-on training for their operations and IT personnel on OT security principles and established ongoing managed security services.
