OVERVIEW
Defence requires assurance from industry partners to manage security risks. Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) membership ensures you meet the minimum security requirements needed to engage with Defence, or as a demonstration of sound security practice when handling OFFICIAL information and above.
Protecting the operational imperative
Standards Assessment
Understanding security postures against known sources of authority is a guaranteed method providing traceability to reinforce both investment proposals and maturity across various cyber security domains.
Anchoram has experience providing analysis against industry standards. We can provide strategic views for organisations seeking to adopt a standards-based approach to applying the controls and countermeasures represented in the standards.
Systems Resilience
Our deep understanding of resilience across both energy and water systems can be readily leveraged by utilities who may not have the dedicated resources to address the potential threats to their systems.
We offer a range of security services that cover the spectrum from cyber to physical and personnel. We deliver advice, assurance, and audit services to help with your supply chains, quality assurance, security health checks, foreign interference testing, risk assessments, and more.
OT/IT Convergence Strategies
Understanding the interactions between operational systems and ICT is a key part of ensuring the security of an asset heavy organisation.
Our teams are experienced in the security of and technologies surrounding OT control systems, including assets such as SCADA, ADMS, and DMS. We understand the need to integrate with ICT systems for scheduling, asset inventory, and enterprise resource planning, and can readily develop secure methods of achieving this whilst supporting both business and operational stakeholder goals.
Why Anchoram?
The common thread across all utilities is the aim to protect the operational imperative by being able to continue to operate resiliently.
In our modern era technologies provide flexible ways to ensure that asset heavy operations can meet the needs of large customer bases, ensuring that these technologies are compliant with regulation. ‘Secure and mature’ is a key foundation of operational assurance.
The Anchoram team have notable experience in the form of both industry and research and provide actionable strategies for utility operators across regulation, technology and strategic aspects.
In fact, our team has even published multiple papers on the topic, and literally wrote the definition for Power Systems Resilience!
