What Is Regulatory Framework Fluency?
InfraShield’s regulatory fluency means we understand not only what a rule says, but why it exists, how inspectors interpret it, and what it takes to demonstrate compliance in the field.
We align your cybersecurity program with:
Sector-specific mandates
Federal and state-level regulations
Voluntary frameworks used for inspections, insurance, and board-level reporting
Risk management best practices for high-consequence environments
Our guidance spans design, implementation, documentation, inspection readiness, and post-audit response.
InfraShield provides cybersecurity program design, control implementation, documentation, and assessment services aligned with the following major frameworks:
10 CFR 73.54 (NRC)
Establishes cybersecurity requirements for nuclear power reactors. Mandates a comprehensive cyber security program to protect critical digital assets (CDAs) that, if compromised, could impact safety, security, or emergency preparedness functions.
NEI 08-09 (Nuclear Energy Institute Guidance)
Provides detailed implementation guidance for complying with 10 CFR 73.54.
NIST 800-53 / NIST 800-82
NIST 800-53 provides a catalog of security and privacy controls for federal information systems. NIST 800-82 extends those principles to industrial control systems (ICS), focusing on availability, integrity, and operational continuity in OT environments.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)
A voluntary framework widely adopted across sectors, NIST CSF helps organizations identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats. InfraShield uses NIST CSF to structure programs, assess maturity, and guide risk-based prioritization.
NERC CIP (North American Electric Reliability Corporation – Critical Infrastructure Protection)
Applies to bulk electric system (BES) operators. NERC CIP standards govern the protection of BES cyber systems from cybersecurity threats, covering everything from access control to incident response and asset classification.
TSA Security Directives (e.g., SD 1580/82-2022-01, SD 02C)
Applies to surface transportation and pipeline operators. These directives mandate cybersecurity measures, vulnerability assessments, and incident response planning. InfraShield supports alignment for owners and operators regulated by TSA.
AWWA G430 / G440
Voluntary frameworks for water and wastewater utilities, focused on security risk management (G430) and emergency preparedness practices (G440). InfraShield aligns ICS/OT protections for utilities with AWWA guidelines and EPA cybersecurity advisories.
HIPAA (Security Rule)
Applies to healthcare providers and covered entities. Focuses on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information (ePHI). InfraShield supports control implementation for hybrid IT/OT medical and facility environments.
ISA/IEC 62443
An international series of standards for securing industrial automation and control systems. Addresses security across the full lifecycle of assets, from system design to operations and maintenance. InfraShield applies this framework to architecture design, role-based access, and system segmentation.
ICISI Cyber-Physical Framework
A specialized framework developed to secure critical infrastructure’s cyber-physical systems, blending regulatory alignment with field reality. InfraShield uses this model to benchmark program maturity, traceability, and lifecycle governance.
