Google Cloud Platform engineering for Energy & Utilities

Production Google Cloud Platform built for the compliance reality of Energy & Utilities. Not generic engineering adapted to your sector — sector-native architecture from the first design decision.

NERC CIPNISTFERC
Why Google Cloud Platform in Energy & Utilities

Energy and utility Google Cloud Platform deployments must satisfy NERC CIP standards for any system that could affect bulk electric system reliability — a compliance framework with fines up to $1 million per violation per day and FERC enforcement authority. The Electronic Security Perimeter requirements of CIP-005, the System Security Management requirements of CIP-007, and the Supply Chain Risk Management requirements of CIP-013 all create specific engineering obligations for Google Cloud Platform systems used in grid operations.

The IT/OT convergence in modern energy infrastructure creates a unique challenge for Google Cloud Platform deployments: enterprise Google Cloud Platform systems that connect to operational technology environments must be architected to satisfy both standard enterprise security requirements and the specific availability requirements of OT systems, where applying a security patch can require a maintenance window that affects grid operations. We architect energy Google Cloud Platform systems that satisfy NERC CIP requirements without creating operational risk for grid operations.

Compliance Context

Energy & Utilities engineering operates under a specific set of regulatory frameworks that govern data handling, security controls, audit requirements, and system availability. Every Google Cloud Platform architecture decision we make in this sector is evaluated against these frameworks — not added as a compliance layer afterward.
