TRN 1077/10/2015 - Cyber Security: Product Assurance Scoping Work - The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), wishes to appoint a supplier to investigate current approaches which assure the cyber security of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and other Operational Technology (OT), and the extent to which these systems are assured across the energy sector internationally. The aim of the DECC Cyber Security Team is to work with the energy sector to reduce the risk of attack on critical national infrastructure (CNI). Effective and reliable energy infrastructure is critical to a secure supply of energy in the UK. This infrastructure is controlled and monitored by complex networks and systems which collate, analyse and store data and enable communication. Cyber threats pose a serious and evolving challenge to the energy sector and a successful cyber-attack could have a serious impact on energy supply, adversely impacting national security, public safety and the UK economy. The Energy Emergencies Executive Committee Cyber (E3CC) subgroup conducted a high-level assessment of cyber security capability across the downstream gas and electricity sector which identified several areas for collective improvement. One such area identified common cyber products in use across the sector which control and monitor CNI, creating a potential systemic risk. Industry has requested assistance in gaining greater assurance of the cyber security of these products. DECC, wishes to appoint a supplier to investigate current approaches which assure the cyber security of ICS and other OT used across the energy sector. The supplier will undertake a review of: • OT/ICS products which are used in or relevant to the energy sector, including their function and any advertised security characteristics; • Existing security standards and certifications for OT/ICS products. This should specify: o background details of the organisation either publishing the standards or granting certification; o the criteria used to certify products; o identify relevant energy sector products which have achieved certification or been developed in accordance to security standards; • Previous security testing conducted on OT/ICS systems detailing what was tested and how; • Organisations (including academia) who are developing security standards, certification schemes, testing beds and testing criteria to assure the cyber security of OT/ICS products. Based on the data gathered, the supplier should recommend: • Security characteristics that should be tested on OT/ICS products relevant or used by the energy sector. This should detail how these can be tested; • Suitable test laboratories/ranges that could undertake testing of OT/ICS products. • A list of OT/ICS products tested and certified, including where they are used and any specific products for the energy sector.

TRN 1052/07/2105 - Supply of Cyber Security Technical Benchmarking - The E3CC High-level Risks and Control Assessment across the downstream gas and electricity sectors identified the following priority areas of shared risk on which industry have requested HMG support. This work will look at the best practices and maturity of management across members in both Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) environments of their companies for: - Access control and identity management - Communications management, including remote access - Management of end point security and data leakage prevention For each of the topic areas, the following process will be followed: Background research will be carried out to look at existing standards, general best practices and any specific standards and practices relevant to the electricity and gas sectors. From these, and initial conversations with the E3CC members as well as reference back to the E3CC cyber security risk assessment, a series of themes, sub-topics and key questions will be developed. The aim is to identify levels of maturity as well as lessons learnt/key best practices. The key questions will then be used to survey the E3CC membership, usually in the form of a telephone interview. (Participation is voluntary, but past benchmarks have gained the involvement of 80-100% of all 16 members; we expect the contractor to work with us at the earliest opportunity, if involvement looks to be significantly less than this, i.e. <50% of the members). Anonymity will be assured by the contractor, although members may volunteer to be attributed on sub-topics if they wish. The data collected from the completed questionnaires and interviews will then be collated and analysed and may have additional literature research added to help explain any findings, where required The results will be collated into a report which is then presented to the following E3CC meeting and retained on the private E3CC section of the CPNI Extranet. The final reports will include: - A definition of good cyber security practices against each of these three topics; - An assessment of cyber maturity within the downstream gas and electricity sectors against each of the three topic areas, against good-practice. This will be a baseline for future assessments. - An assessment of cyber security practices compared to other CNI sectors, where appropriate. - Any Recommendations on how to improve cyber security practices within the downstream gas and electricity sectors based on the analysis of the findings.
