Cyber assurance for energy operations

01 · Recommended starting point

OT Cyber Readiness Review

For an operator that needs a clear, practical view of where its OT cyber arrangements should improve. A review for one facility or business unit typically takes two to four weeks, depending on access and scope.

Selected documents and discussions with accountable staff covering asset ownership, vendor access, responsibilities, response and recovery. Technical testing and wider site coverage can be agreed separately.

A concise findings brief, a record of evidence gaps and a prioritised improvement roadmap.

02 · Asset-level assurance

Operational Cyber Assurance Pilot

For an operator facing a specific cyber exposure, proposed change or decision involving one asset or process area.

Operations, maintenance, OT cyber and process safety colleagues work through a structured assessment. Litdeng’s proprietary toolkit traces a cyber event through affected safeguards and into its potential operational consequences.

A scenario and dependency map, an evidence and uncertainty record, and a reviewed action plan. The operator retains responsibility for operational and safety decisions.

03 · Capability development

Industrial Cyber Resilience Capability Programme

Your organisation commissions the programme, and Litdeng shapes it around your people, roles and operational priorities.

We consider current skills and role requirements, then develop relevant learning and practical scenarios for operations, maintenance, engineering, HSE, IT and cyber teams.

A role-based skills map, applied learning activities, assessment feedback and a workforce development roadmap.

04 · Response and recovery

Cyber-Physical Incident Exercise

For teams that need to rehearse a cyber disruption with operational or safety consequences.

Litdeng designs and facilitates a tabletop exercise covering escalation, control-room decisions, coordination and recovery priorities.

An after-action report and improvement register with proposed owners and priorities.

05 · Deployment assurance

AI and Digital Pilot Assurance Review

For a sponsor deciding whether an AI or digital pilot is ready for wider operational use.

Data provenance and quality controls, key assumptions, cyber dependencies, human oversight, operational ownership and fallback arrangements.

A decision brief setting out evidence gaps, conditions for rollout and recommended next steps.
