Keep generation, grid and supply running

Energy and water estates are geographically dispersed, deeply legacy, and increasingly connected as renewables, storage and smart metering are added. That combination expands the attack surface faster than most security programmes can follow. HexaShield gives you visibility across generation, transmission, distribution and corporate IT as one estate.

Where we are brought in

Three problems we are asked to solve across generation and network

Assets are distributed, frequently unstaffed, and expected to run for decades. These are the three situations generation, network and security leaders bring to us most often.

01

The estate is spread across sites nobody visits often

OT
The problem

Substations, pumping stations, remote generation and metering infrastructure sit at the end of constrained links, were commissioned by different contractors across different decades, and are visited on a maintenance cycle rather than a security one.

How HexaShield solves it

Operational Technology on HexaOT: one unified view from control room to remote site, passive and safe for continuous operations, adapting to the control and field systems you already run rather than requiring you to replace them.

Operational TechnologyHexaOT
The business outcome

Remote assets stop being a gap in the picture. What is deployed, what is exposed and what has changed becomes visible centrally, without a site visit and without introducing anything into the process that operations has to underwrite.

02

Detection stops at the boundary between the office and the network

SOC
The problem

The corporate environment is monitored competently. The operational environment is monitored by whoever notices something unusual, using tools built for a different problem, so an intrusion that crosses the boundary is seen from one side only.

How HexaShield solves it

Managed SOC / MDR on HexaSOC, taking correlated OT telemetry from HexaOT and enterprise telemetry from your existing stack into one accountable operation, with HexaInt scoring intelligence against your actual estate across both IT and OT.

Managed SOC / MDRHexaSOCHexaIntHexaOT
The business outcome

One operation watching both halves of the same estate, so a lateral move is a single case rather than two teams comparing notes afterwards. The operational side gains 24/7 cover without acquiring a second security function to run it.

03

Reporting duties keep growing and the team does not

GRC
The problem

Regulator expectations, incident reporting duties and board assurance all increase, while the people able to answer them are the same people keeping the network running. Evidence is produced by interrupting operations to ask for it.

How HexaShield solves it

HexaComply carrying controls, evidence and the audit room as a managed service, with HexaView giving role-based visibility: depth for the operational team, a readable summary for the executive and the regulator-facing conversation.

Governance, Risk & ComplianceHexaComplyHexaView
The business outcome

Assurance evidence accumulates as a by-product of operating, rather than being harvested from busy people each time a deadline lands. Reporting becomes an export rather than a project.

The expectations shaping your assurance

NIS2 for in-scope essential entities in the EU · NERC CIP for bulk electric system operators in North America · NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and Ofgem expectations in the UK · sector incident reporting duties.

We map the ones that apply to your jurisdiction, flag, licence or trade during onboarding rather than assuming them here. Compliance frameworks and regulatory requirements change over time; the specific frameworks in scope, and their current requirements, are confirmed and verified with your counsel during onboarding.

Threat landscape

What actually goes wrong in Energy & Utilities

Substation and SCADA exposure

Remote sites depend on links and engineering access that are hard to monitor and easy to overlook.

Distributed energy resources

Solar, wind and storage assets arrive with vendor cloud connectivity and their own remote-management paths.

Legacy protocols without authentication

Much of the installed base speaks protocols designed for trusted networks, where a valid-looking command is simply obeyed.

Third-party operations and maintenance

Turbine, transformer and control-system vendors hold standing remote access to critical plant.

Smart metering and consumer edge

Large fleets of connected endpoints extend the estate well beyond the operator's perimeter.

Mandatory reporting and penalties

NERC CIP and NIS regimes carry real financial and licensing consequences for failures of evidence, not just of security.

One connected picture

Generation, grid and corporate IT, in one place

Energy and water estates are dispersed, deeply legacy, and gaining connections faster than most security programmes can follow. HexaCore treats generation, network, field assets and corporate IT as one estate rather than several projects.

Generation & plant control DCS, turbine control, balance of plant
Substations & network IEDs, protection relays, RTUs

24/7 agentic response Cover for sites with no one on them

Most of these sites will never have a person on them, let alone an analyst. The value of correlating centrally is that the remote asset gets the same attention as the control room.

Obligations

The regulatory picture

The frameworks and regimes that shape security programmes in this sector. HexaComply maps one control set across all of them.

NERC CIP

Mandatory and enforceable standards for the North American bulk electric system.

NIS2

Energy is an essential sector; electricity, oil, gas, hydrogen and district heating are covered.

UK NIS Regulations 2018

Obligations on operators of essential services in energy and water.

IEC 62443

The reference standard for industrial control system security.

NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework

The outcome-based assessment model used by UK competent authorities.

TSA Security Directives

Cybersecurity requirements for designated US pipeline and rail operators.

The approach

How HexaShield covers it

  1. 1Passive visibility across dispersed sites

    HexaOT inventories substations, plant and remote assets from observed traffic, without introducing risk to protection and control systems.

  2. 2Watch the IT/OT boundary specifically

    Most incidents cross it. HexaCore holds both sides, so HexaSOC sees the crossing rather than two unrelated alerts.

  3. 3Vendor remote access under observation

    Standing third-party access is monitored as a first-class risk, with HexaInt tracking supplier exposure independently.

  4. 4Exploitability, proven

    HexaStrike validates reachable exposure under approval, so limited outage windows go to the work that actually reduces risk.

  5. 5Evidence for CIP, CAF and NIS2

    HexaComply maps live control evidence to each regime, which is where most of the audit effort otherwise goes.

One accountable partner

Integrated capabilities and proprietary platforms under one operating model, so there is no gap between the team that detects something and the team that answers for it.

No rip-and-replace

We sit above the stack you already run and take telemetry from any source. Nothing here depends on you replacing tooling you have already bought and trained people on.

Transparency by default

Whatever you buy feeds HexaView, the same truth our analysts see, at the depth each audience needs, exported on demand for leadership, auditors and insurers.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can HexaOT monitor substations and remote sites?
Yes. HexaOT is designed for geographically dispersed estates: it deploys locally at sites, discovers assets passively from network traffic, and reports selectively so that constrained or intermittent links are not a barrier to central visibility.
How does this support NERC CIP compliance?
NERC CIP depends heavily on knowing and evidencing your cyber asset inventory, electronic security perimeters, monitoring and change management. HexaOT produces and maintains the asset and monitoring evidence continuously, and HexaComply maps it onto the specific CIP requirements, so audit preparation draws on live records rather than a reconstruction exercise.
Is it safe to deploy on protection and control networks?
Discovery is entirely passive, which is the design requirement for networks where an unexpected packet can have protection or safety consequences. Any active testing is separate, scoped in advance and approval-gated.
How do you handle distributed energy resources and their vendor cloud links?
They are treated as part of the estate rather than as someone else's equipment. HexaOT inventories them and their communication paths, HexaInt monitors the vendor's own exposure, and HexaSOC watches the remote-management channels that are the practical route in.
