Critical Infrastructure

Resilience the public relies on.

Power grids, water systems, transport networks, and the communications backbone beneath them. When these stop, communities and safety are on the line. iluminr helps your control rooms and crisis teams rehearse the cyber, physical, and climate events that take essential services down.

The challenge

When the public feels it.

OT is now in the blast radius

Ransomware and intrusions that once hit office IT now reach the control systems running turbines, pumps, and signals.

One failure cascades

A substation trip can ripple into water pumping, rail signalling, and telecoms within minutes.

Resilience is now law

NIS2 names essential entities, the CER Directive mandates resilience plans, and CISA sets cross-sector performance goals.

How iluminr helps

Practice for essential services.

Exercise the OT and IT seam

Run the moment an intrusion crosses from corporate IT into the control environment, where safety and uptime collide and the usual playbooks run out.

Put the control room and crisis team in one room

Operations, engineering, safety, communication, and leadership make the call together, the way a real incident forces them to.

Bring in mutual aid and agencies

Rehearse with the regulators, responders, and peer operators your restoration actually depends on.

Example Microsimulations

The events that take services down.

Cyber / OT

Ransomware reaches the control room

Operators lose the SCADA historian mid-shift. The team must keep service running while containing the spread and deciding what to tell the regulator.

Grid

A peak-demand emergency

A substation trips during a heat-dome demand surge. Load-shedding, vulnerable-customer priority, and public communication land within minutes.

Water / safety

Tampering at a treatment plant

A remote-access intrusion alters chemical dosing. Detection, public-health protection, and notification decisions collide.

Climate

A storm floods the control centre

Rising water threatens a primary operations site. Failover to backup control, crew safety, and restoration sequencing happen at once.

Mapped to your obligations

Mapped to infrastructure mandates.

NERC CIPPower reliability
NIS2EU essential entities
CER DirectiveEU resilience plans
CISA CPGsUS cross-sector goals

Proof of preparedness.

Service kept running

Tested decisions for keeping essential services up while an incident is contained.

OT and IT respond as one

The control room and security team move together, not in sequence.

Regulator-ready evidence

Defensible proof of tested response for NIS2, the CER Directive, and NERC CIP.

Questions

Critical infrastructure, answered.

Does this cover OT and control systems, not just IT?
Yes. Scenarios run at the seam where an incident crosses from corporate IT into the control environment that runs turbines, pumps, and signals.
Can we include mutual aid, agencies, and peer operators?
Yes. Scenarios can bring in the regulators, responders, and peer operators your restoration depends on.
Which mandates does it support?
Evidence aligns to NIS2, the CER Directive, NERC CIP, CISA performance goals, and NIST CSF. Your assurance teams confirm sufficiency for your obligations.

Practice is the new proof.
