Managing security across critical infrastructure requires continuous oversight.
Utility security teams oversee physical security systems across substations, generation plants, and operational facilities. Compliance with standards such as NERC CIP-014 requires documented security plans, risk assessments, and records of infrastructure changes at critical sites.
Much of this work is performed by external integrators and contractors, and oftentimes, multiple integrators can be delivering projects simultaneously. Over time, installation records, system documentation, and project files become distributed across vendors, project teams, and internal folders. As infrastructure evolves, organizations often lose a reliable record of what security systems are actually deployed at each facility.
When records become incomplete or outdated, demonstrating compliance during regulatory audits gets difficult and planning future upgrades becomes less reliable.
