Meeting Energy Sector Security Challenges
Business & Operational Continuity
Regardless of your role in the energy value chain, you can’t afford to let a security breach slow down your operations. Whether you generate power or help distribute it across the grid, you need security systems and services that support the mission-critical nature of your operations: reducing incidents proactively and responding with speed when they do happen.
- We design customized energy security solutions to meet your unique needs.
- We install your systems to the highest enterprise security standards.
- We integrate your systems for seamless interconnectivity and management.
- We monitor your systems for 24/7 alarm notification and incident response.
- We service your systems with preventative maintenance and tech support.
Regulatory Compliance for Physical Security
Ensuring compliance with energy sector security standards and regulations is critical to your operational and business performance. Security technology and services across regions and sites must fully support compliance reflective of local requirements while also helping to sustain sector-wide resilience against evolving physical and cyber threats.
-
We have specialized knowledge of the key requirements set by leading energy and critical infrastructure security authorities across the globe, such as NERC CIP (North America Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection).
-
We incorporate NERC CIP physical security guidelines into our security solution design process, so you can be assured of full compliance to required standards. Conforming to NERC CIP compliance requirements is fundamental for any energy or utility organization operating in the United States, Canada, and parts of Mexico.
-
For clients operating in Europe, we hold equivalent knowledge of the NIS2 (Network and Information Security) and CER (Critical Entities Resilience) Directives, the UK’s NPSA (National Protective Security Authority), as well as other national and local regulations impacting clients.
Critical Site Security & Life Safety
You need to protect people and assets across complex energy environments. Perimeter protection, video surveillance, access control, etc. are essential for securing not just the site, but critical assets like data storage, battery energy storage systems, switchgear, cabling, and more. Meanwhile, 24/7 security monitoring and fire detection are crucial for responding to incidents in real-time.
- We offer you expertise in all aspects of security technology.
- We give you access to the world’s leading security manufacturers.
- We specialize in systems integration for multi-site security management.
- We deliver award-winning, 24/7/365 security monitoring services.
- We are experts in data center security and other critical facilities.
Remote Infrastructure Monitoring
Getting the support you need to manage technical issues and safety incidents at facilities in isolated locations can be extremely challenging. No matter whether the site is manned or unmanned, preventive maintenance, system updates, and speedy resolution of faults – all delivered remotely – paired with round-the-clock monitoring of security breaches and lone worker safety are a must.
- We support you with a global team of remote services experts.
- We offer cloud security services enabling remote access to your systems.
- We can carry out remote system checks and preventative maintenance.
- We offer energy sector managed security services leveraging cloud technology.
- We provide specialized lone worker solutions for increased employee safety.
Customized Service & Incident Response
A security solution for critical infrastructure is only effective when backed by proficient servicing to keep technology optimized and performing consistently. A significant factor in your security procurement process, you need a partner that’s able to offer tailored account management, maintenance schedules, and incident response as part of a bespoke service level agreement.
- We work with your security team to select the right service plan for your needs.
- We offer local, national, and global coverage with over 5,000 skilled technicians.
- We possess the technical infrastructure and expertise to support enterprise-level systems.
- We provide 24/7 security monitoring, video verification, and response.
- We offer a variety of professional and managed security services to support your security program.
Centralized Security Management
Central control of systems – whether through a full security operations center (SOC) or your corporate office – is essential for efficient and effective security, enabling you to view camera feeds, review alarm events, manage access rights, and generate reports. On site or on the move, you need an integrated platform that offers your security team easy yet secure accessibility, wherever you are.
- We specialize in complex systems integration, bringing multiple technologies together for unified security management and remote infrastructure monitoring.
- We harness the latest innovations in security management solutions from the world’s foremost security technology manufacturers.
- We offer a centralized, programmatic approach to multisite security deployments through our industry-leading Engineering Centers of Excellence, where standardization, consistency, and integration guide our expertise in design, pre-fabrication, installation, and ongoing service.
- We provide increased clarity and control of your security with digital tools like our SecureStat® HQ™ security management platform.
Why Securitas Technology is the trusted partner for compliance-driven, multi-layered physical security across critical infrastructure.
Modern Security Technologies for Compliance
We understand the regulatory landscape of energy and utilities. Our solutions support NERC, CIP, and other frameworks, helping you stay audit-ready while protecting critical infrastructure with confidence.
Top Global Regulations Governing Critical Energy Infrastructure
Energy infrastructure is governed by a complex web of global standards designed to protect essential services. Key frameworks include ISO 27001 for information security, IEC 62443 for industrial control system protection, and the IAEA guidelines for nuclear facility security. These regulations emphasize risk‑based security planning, continuous monitoring, and robust incident response capabilities to safeguard critical assets from evolving threats.
Integrated, Scalable Technology
From access control and video surveillance to perimeter detection and drone defense, our unified platforms deliver real-time visibility, centralized management, and seamless scalability across multi-site operations.
Modern Tech Enhancing Compliance
Beyond broad regulatory frameworks, energy organizations must comply with sector‑specific standards such as API guidelines for oil and gas, AGA recommendations for natural gas utilities, and OSHA requirements for worker safety. These standards influence everything from perimeter protection and hazardous‑area monitoring to access control for high‑risk zones. Compliance ensures not only regulatory alignment but also safer, more resilient operations across the entire value chain.
Future-Ready Innovation
We bring advanced AI, cloud-based systems, and emerging technologies like LiDAR and fiber-optic sensing to help energy leaders stay ahead of evolving threats and build resilient, next-gen security programs.
