Pike Pulse Report: Smart Grid Cyber Security Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance

Assessment of Strategy and Execution for 14 Leading Cyber Security Vendors

Smart grid governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) is a niche market of what is already a specialized market, smart grid cyber security. GRC includes the key applications of asset identification, risk assessment, architecture, policies, change management, configuration management, legislative and regulatory compliance, and audit support.

GRC is critically important – the foundation upon which all cyber security is deployed. Without policies and architecture, there is no basis to do anything in a cyber security program. Without GRC, there is no security program at all. But despite its importance, GRC for smart grids is not a well-served market. Pike Research does not believe that any vendor in this market deserves to be called a Leader. None combines the necessary innovation, scale, and smart grid focus to lead the market. GRC studies as a cross-industry offering might reach other conclusions when industries such as banking and health care are considered, but this report considers only Smart Grid GRC.

This Pike Research report evaluates 14 of the leading cyber security governance, risk management, and compliance vendors in the smart grid market and rates them on 12 criteria for strategy and execution, including vision, go-to-market strategy, partners, product strategy and roadmap, technical innovation, geographic reach, market share, sales and marketing, product performance and features, product portfolio, control system focus, and staying power. Using Pike Research’s proprietary Pike Pulse methodology, vendors are profiled, rated, and ranked with the goal of providing industry participants with an objective of these companies’ relative strengths and weakness in the emerging GRC marketplace.
