Attackers traverse those interfaces to reach EMS and SCADA. 02 ### Legacy protection alongside IEC 61850 Substations carry a mix of legacy RTUs and modern IEC 61850 IEDs. They cannot all be patched on the same cycle without risking operational disruption. 03 ### Distributed energy resources Inverter-based resources and DER orchestration multiply the number of remotely reachable controllers across the distribution grid. Energy > When EMS, SCADA and substation networks are reachable from corporate or vendor estates, every software vulnerability becomes a candidate for a switching incident. The Scenario ### Scenario: Substation vendor remote access compromise Attackers compromise a protection vendor laptop with persistent VPN access into a transmission substation engineering network. From there they pivot through a shared jump server into the control room SCADA. Operators lose visibility across two grid supply points for several hours. Restoration is delayed because protection setting backups are stored on the same domain that was compromised. With Control, vendor access opens only on a scheduled, authorised window. The substation fabric is physically separate from the control room fabric. Verified baselines for protection settings are held on infrastructure with no live network path to production and require multi-party authorisation to release. The pivot path does not exist. "We assumed our substations were isolated. They were, until a vendor laptop was trusted on both sides at the same time." Module deployment · electricity network ## Where each Control module is deployed across generation, transmission and distribution. Electricity operators run a Purdue stack from the corporate estate down to substation protection. Control puts a real boundary between the office, the operations centre and the substations so a problem in one place does not become a blackout in another.

### Sovereign grid data Grid control and protection data remains within the agreed jurisdiction in carefully selected Firevault Bunkers. 02 ### Multi-party control Critical switching and protection changes require sign-off from both control room and security teams. 03 ### Regulatory evidence Continuous compliance evidence for NIS2, NERC CIP and Ofgem cyber expectations. 04 ### Out-of-band management Cellular and dedicated paths keep the control plane reachable when primary networks are compromised. 05 ### Tamper-proof logging Every access, configuration change and switching command lands in immutable logs on physically separate infrastructure. 06 ### Verified configuration baselines Verified baselines of EMS, IED and SCADA configuration enable a known-good restore of control-plane state. Demo to Live ## Adoption Guide Step 1 #### Network assessment Map every path between corporate IT, ICCP, EMS, SCADA and substation networks to identify convergence and persistent vendor connections. Step 2 #### Zone architecture design Design physically separated zones aligned to your control rooms and substation estate, with Control modules at each boundary. Step 3 #### Non-production pilot Deploy in a test environment mirroring an EMS and substation pair with full zone separation, multi-party authorisation and compliance logging. Step 4 #### Operational deployment Full deployment across the grid estate with verified configuration baselines, continuous compliance evidence and 24/7 out-of-band management.
