Custom OES solutions that help meet OFGEM rules and protect against online threats

Operators of Essential Services (OES) face threats to their operations as risks of hacking, scams, and ransomware are becoming more common. It is increasingly difficult for OES firms to keep important systems safe from new cyber threats, whilst also keeping up with strict rules from regulatory authorities such as OFGEM.

OES firms therefore need to have a clear understanding of their obligations under the NIS Regulation and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF). Failure to meet regulatory requirements can result in heavy fines, business interruptions, and financial losses. Without taking proactive steps with a complete cybersecurity solution, those essential services risk not being reliable or continuing as planned.

The answer? A cybersecurity partner who can help customise solutions that will help follow OFGEM rules and protect operations from online threats.
