Security for the Energy Supply

We support grid operators, energy providers, and infrastructure companies in securing their supply systems reliably and in full compliance – across control centers, facilities, and digital networks.

Energy supply is both the backbone and a prime target. Power plants, gas networks, and district heating systems are among the most critical infrastructures of our time – ensuring supply for citizens, industry, and government. Their availability must be guaranteed at all times, even under growing threats of sabotage, espionage, and cyberattacks. We support companies in the energy sector – including grid operators, utilities, and infrastructure providers – in developing and implementing comprehensive security strategies. Neutral, compliant, and with deep technical expertise.

Challenges in Energy Supply

Criticality & attack surface

Energy facilities are declared targets of state and non-state actors – physically and digitally.

Tightening regulation

Operators of critical infrastructures fall under § 8a BSIG. With the upcoming NIS2 Implementation and Cybersecurity Strengthening Act (NIS2UmsuCG), the circle of obligated entities will significantly expand.

Technical heterogeneity & legacy OT

Historically grown facilities with different standards complicate harmonization and protection.

Interfaces between IT, OT & physical security

Responsibilities are often separated – creating gaps in protection concepts.

Audits & proof obligations

§ 8a audits, regulatory requirements, and internal reviews demand solid documentation and transparency.

Support in providing proof within § 8a audits

Aus der Praxis

Experience from practice

We advise energy companies in Germany, Switzerland, and beyond – including transmission system operators, municipal utilities, decentralized energy plant operators, and industrial self-generators. Our projects cover:

Grid control centers & control rooms

Substations, transformer stations & switchgear

Power plant sites (conventional & renewable)

Gas transport & storage infrastructure

Charging parks and e-mobility hubs

Our interdisciplinary teams bring over 20 years of project experience in security-critical environments – from technical planning to strategic audit preparation.

Security that connects – not sells

As independent, vendor-neutral consultants, we act solely in the interest of our clients. We do not sell technology – we guide you in selecting, implementing, and verifying security measures, from risk workshops to audit reports.

Let’s talk

Are you planning to modernize your security architecture? Facing a § 8a audit? Or preparing your organization for NIS2?
