01The problem

Compliance pressures in energy

Energy and utility operators run safety-critical OT estates with rising cyber regulation, third-party EPC and OEM dependencies, and national CNI scrutiny.

  • Manual compliance: OT and IT controls run with disconnected tools
  • Spreadsheet dependency: NERC CIP and ECC evidence in Excel
  • Audit fatigue: regulator, NERC, and internal audits stacked together
  • Evidence gaps: ICS evidence hard to gather without disrupting operations
  • Fragmented risk visibility: IT, OT, and safety risk in silos
  • Poor board reporting: cyber risk not framed in operational impact
  • Vendor risk blind spots: OEMs, EPCs, and managed services under-monitored
02The approach

IT and OT in one program

Waaqi unifies NERC CIP, IEC 62443, NCA ECC OT controls, and corporate IT compliance into one program with safety-first workflows.

01

OT-aware controls

Controls and evidence tailored to ICS, SCADA, and Purdue Model realities.

02

CNI-grade

Depth of evidence and segmentation expected of CNI energy operators.

03

Vendor lifecycle

OEM, EPC, ICS vendor, and managed service oversight built in.

03Capabilities

What you get inside Waaqi

Every module works from one control library, one evidence store, and one risk register.

Energy Libraries

NERC CIP, IEC 62443, NCA ECC OT, ISO 27001 controls pre-mapped.

IT/OT Risk

Unified risk register covering IT, OT, and safety implications.

Incident Management

Workflow for regulator, ERO, and national CERT reporting.

Policy & Standards

Operator policies aligned to OT and IT cybersecurity standards.

OT-Safe Evidence

Evidence collection patterns that respect ICS operational constraints.

Board Reporting

Reporting framed in operational impact for the board and regulators.

Vendor & OEM Risk

OEM, EPC, ICS vendor, and managed service oversight.

Audit Universe

Internal audit aligned to NERC, ECC, and IIA standards.

04Workflow

From control definition to audit-ready evidence

Each step is owned, dated, and traceable, so nothing depends on a spreadsheet or a single person.

  1. Step 1

    Map estate

    Inventory IT, OT, and ICS with Purdue-level segmentation.

  2. Step 2

    Operate controls

    Run controls with safety-aware workflows and owners.

  3. Step 3

    Monitor

    Continuous monitoring plus scenario testing for critical services.

  4. Step 4

    Report

    Generate regulator and ERO submissions on demand.

05Audit readiness

NERC, ERO, and national audits, ready

Hand regulators and EROs a complete picture with evidence for every IT and OT control.

  • Regulator and ERO submission packages
  • OT segmentation and asset evidence
  • Incident registers with regulator notifications
  • OEM and EPC assurance records
  • Audit and CAPA progress reports
06For leadership

Board level answers without a fire drill

Boards, CISOs, and risk committees get the same numbers the compliance team works from.

Safer operations

Continuous cyber controls strengthen real operational and safety outcomes.

Lower regulatory exposure

Documented compliance reduces fines and operating license risk.

Board confidence

Live cyber-to-operations posture supports investment and resilience decisions.
