ProcessUnity For Energy & Utilties

The energy and utilities sector has become increasingly reliant on third parties to achieve cost efficiencies, access specialized expertise, and implement innovative technologies. These external relationships, including technology providers, contractors, suppliers, and service providers, seamlessly integrate into the sector operations. However, in this regulated industry, such partnerships pose risks in operational resilience, data privacy, cybersecurity and compliance. Energy and utility companies need a comprehensive solution to assess, manage, and efficiently mitigate third-party risks. 

ProcessUnity Third-Party Risk Management and ProcessUnity Cybersecurity Risk Management solutions help you streamline and automate your third-party and cybersecurity risk management processes. With ProcessUnity, you verify that third parties have controls to ensure your operational resiliency, protect your sensitive data, and avoid regulatory fines. 

Ensure Regulatory Compliance 

Assess business associate agreements, perform due diligence, validate controls and more, to maintain an acceptable level of risk for your institution. Monitor and assess vendors against EPA, FERC/NERC and NRC regulations and CIP standards. 

Proactively Mitigate Risk 

Use our platform to score inherent risk and identify vendors with a high exposure to risk. Customize vendor due diligence according to their risk profile.  Employ assessment questionnaires, content feeds from data providers, internal assessments, and more to test relevant controls, identify gaps and mitigate risks.   

Protect Data and Assets 

Identify vendors with access to NPI/PII (non-public information/personally identifiable information) to safeguard against data privacy threats. Knowing which vendors handle your sensitive data lets you focus your assessments and ensure compliance with HIPAA, HITECH and other regulations, and SLAs.
