01 / OT CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity for water and wastewater operations.

Connect the cybersecurity review of your treatment, distribution, or wastewater systems to a documented assessment. SSX360 scopes SCADA and access reviews, prepares cyber annex material, and organizes signed evidence for utility reviewers.

Assessment + signed evidence

What we review

Review the agreed inventory of controllers, operator interfaces, remote stations, vendor access paths, and supporting IT connections. Examine backup, recovery, and response records around the operating constraints of the utility.

What your team receives

Select the deliverables around your facility, review objective, and available records. Scope and acceptance criteria are agreed before work begins.

Cyber risk and resilience annex

A review draft covering the agreed cyber scope, findings, source references, and gaps for the utility’s broader risk and resilience assessment.

Response and corrective-action record

Cyber response inputs, prioritized findings, and proposed action owners for review with operations and the emergency-planning team.

Signed utility evidence package

An indexed handoff of agreed findings and signed records, with source handling and offline verification instructions.

Regulatory context

SOURCE REVIEW / OCT 09, 2026

Federal / AWIA

AWIA Section 2013 applies to community drinking-water systems serving more than 3,300 people. The 2025–2026 risk-assessment deadlines have passed. For systems serving 3,301–49,999, the latest ERP certification date is December 31, 2026; it may be earlier based on the RRA certification date.

New York / Appendix 5-E

New York gives covered community water systems until January 1, 2027 for most Appendix 5-E requirements. Applicability, exclusions, population thresholds, and immediately effective provisions require facility-specific review.

Indiana / Water and wastewater

Indiana requires qualifying water and wastewater facilities using covered computerized systems to complete an annual cybersecurity assessment and submit the initial certification by December 31, 2026. Facility type and technology use determine applicability.

Questions before you scope the work

Does AWIA apply to wastewater utilities?

The federal AWIA Section 2013 certification requirement concerns qualifying community drinking-water systems. Wastewater facilities may have separate state obligations and can still scope an OT cybersecurity assessment.

Is the cyber annex a complete AWIA assessment?

The cyber annex addresses the agreed cybersecurity portion. The utility integrates it with the remaining risk, resilience, and emergency-response work and retains responsibility for its certification.

Start with the facility and the decision.

Share the facility type, general systems in scope, review objective, and target date. Keep network diagrams, credentials, CUI, and other sensitive records out of the first inquiry.

Request a briefing.

Prepare a message for mission@ssx360.com, then send it from your email app.

Share your area of interest, general requirements, and the decision your team needs to make.
