Use Case 1 :
Within India’s power utility eco system, the load dispatch centres (LDC) play a very critical role in
balancing between demand & supply of power and maintaining the GRID frequency. The dispatch centres also
look after the commercial aspects of power trading and defining the route of inter & intra state power flow.
The Load dispatch network of India hierarchically starts from National Load Dispatch Centre as central
control point and goes down to the state load despatch centres. As a regulated entity, the LDCs are mandated
to implement ISO 27001 covering their core and support business processes and conduct thorough VA & PT of
their IT & OT infrastructure.
Zettawise did the ISMS implementation related consulting and training for one of the State Load Dispatch
Centres (SLDCs) of India and conducted the VA & PT of their IT and OT infrastructure. Due to proper
execution of all prerequisites, that SLDC got certified as ISO 27001 compliant power utility and
subsequently declared as national critical information infrastructure by Ministry of Power.
Use Case 2 :
As per the guideline of the power sector regulator of Govt of India, all power utilities (irrespective of
size, capacity, and complexity) need to take a risk-based approach to ensure their cyber immunity. It is
therefore mandated to assess the risk related to people-process-technology at strategic-tactical & execution
level.
Zettawise consulting ran capability development program for the senior executives and leadership team of
Grid India w.r.t risk assessment and mitigation. One of the emphases of the program was to enable Grid India
workforce to comply with sectoral regulations and global good practices for cyber security.
