Our certified auditors deliver ISO 50001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and operational technology security consulting for the energy and utilities sector across India.

Frequently asked questions
Why do energy & utilities companies need GRC?
CEA cybersecurity guidelines for power sector entities require annual security audits and vulnerability assessments of OT/ICS systems. GRC gives customers, regulators and auditors independent proof that your controls work.
How long does GRC take for a energy & utilities company?
It depends on size, scope and how mature your processes are. After a short gap assessment we set a fixed plan, then work through implementation, internal audit and the certification audit.
What are CEA cybersecurity guidelines and who do they apply to?
The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) issued Cyber Security Guidelines for Power Sector in 2021, mandating annual cybersecurity audits, vulnerability assessments and incident reporting for power generation, transmission and distribution utilities. ISO 27001 forms the recommended ISMS framework.
How does ISO 50001 help a power company in India?
ISO 50001 Energy Management System helps power companies and heavy industries systematically reduce energy consumption and costs — typically 5–15% in the first year. It also provides the framework for BEE Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme compliance and ESG energy reporting.
What frameworks do you use for GRC consulting?
We work with ISO 37301 (compliance management), ISO 31000 (risk management), COSO ERM, COBIT 2019, and custom governance frameworks tailored to your industry and regulatory environment.
How is GRC different from just compliance?
Compliance is one pillar of GRC. Governance ensures strategic direction and oversight, risk management identifies and mitigates threats proactively, and compliance ensures regulatory obligations are met. GRC integrates all three into a unified programme.
