Energy and Utility IT Spans IT, OT, and Field Operations
SCADA security, NERC CIP, field workforce, and critical-infrastructure designation make energy IT one of the most complex compliance environments.
SCADA / ICS security
Industrial control systems were not designed with cybersecurity in mind. Layered protection without breaking operations is the energy IT challenge.
NERC CIP compliance
Bulk electric system entities subject to NERC CIP standards face strict cybersecurity, access, and incident response requirements.
Field / remote operations
Substations, field crews, and remote operations centers — IT must extend to locations beyond the main office.
OT / IT integration
Production data flowing from OT to IT for analytics and reporting — without exposing OT to IT-borne threats.
Mobile workforce
Field technicians, line crews, and meter readers on tablets and ruggedized laptops — mobile IT is core, not peripheral.
Critical infrastructure designation
Energy is critical infrastructure. Threats are state-actor-level. Cybersecurity expectations are higher than typical commercial IT.
Energy & Utilities-Specific IT
Six core capabilities sized for energy companies, utilities, cooperatives, and energy services organizations.
SCADA / ICS Support
Industrial control system support, OT-aware engineering, and integration with vendor support relationships for SCADA platforms.

Hiring a single in-house IT person costs roughly the same as a full Datastrive managed support agreement — but a single person can’t cover 24/7, can’t be a senior network engineer and a cybersecurity specialist and a vCIO at the same time, and goes on vacation. Managed IT support gives you depth, redundancy, and predictable cost without the recruiting risk.
