As critical national infrastructure, the drinking water supply sector is subject to specific requirements under the new Digital Security Act, which entered into force on October 1, 2025. This means that cybersecurity can no longer be viewed as an add-on, it must be an integrated part of daily operations.

About the project

A leading Norwegian water and wastewater utility has partnered with a Security Operations Center (SOC) provider to strengthen the cyber security of its critical infrastructure. The project focuses on improving monitoring, detection, and response capabilities for operational technology (OT) systems supporting water treatment and distribution. As part of this collaboration, Secure-NOK deliver both technology (SNOK Cyber environments, and provide actionable insights to the SOC team. The joint effort ensures a robust, proactive, and sustainable approach to protecting essential water supply operations against cyber threats.

Challenge

• Compliance with the Digital Security Act, requiring monitoring and reporting
• Complex infrastructure: 8 facilities of varying age and wide geographical distribution
• No active monitoring or up-to-date overview of the OT networks and connected devices

Solution

• Security Status Report delivered after 90 days of monitoring with SNOK sensors
• Complete visibility into networks, devices, and data communication across production facilities
• Identification of critical security vulnerabilities with concrete short- and long-term mitigation actions
• Roadmap for continuous monitoring and compliance (IEC 62443 / NIS2)
