Critical infrastructure encompasses the essential systems and assets that are vital to the security, economy, public health, and safety of a nation. These include sectors such as energy, water, transportation, healthcare, and telecommunications. Ensuring the resilience and security of critical infrastructure is paramount. At QMet, we specialize in helping organizations protect their critical infrastructure by achieving and maintaining compliance with industry-specific standards and frameworks.
The critical infrastructure sector is governed by a variety of standards and frameworks designed to enhance security, resilience, and operational efficiency. Key standards and frameworks include:
Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), this framework provides a policy framework of computer security guidance for how private sector organizations in the US can assess and improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber-attacks.
This international standard specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS). It helps organizations manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, and employee details.
A set of detailed practices for IT service management (ITSM) that focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of business. ITIL provides a cohesive set of best practices, drawn from the public and private sectors internationally.
This series of standards provides a flexible framework to address and mitigate current and future security vulnerabilities in industrial automation and control systems (IACS).
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) provides guidelines and best practices for securing critical infrastructure, including the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) and sector-specific plans.
This standard specifies the requirements for a business continuity management system (BCMS) to protect against, reduce the likelihood of, and ensure your business recovers from disruptive incidents.
