Assess

NEPRA Compliance Assessment

We compare the cybersecurity requirements of NEPRA, Pakistan’s power sector regulator, with the controls you have in place, and identify each gap and its owner before an audit.

Overview

What the service covers and why it matters

We map each NEPRA requirement to one of your existing controls, identify the gaps and assign an owner to each one before an auditor raises them.

The results follow the regulator’s own structure, so the evidence can be provided in the format an auditor will ask for.

What the assessment covers

  • Each requirement mapped to a specific control
  • Which controls are in place, which are partial and which are missing
  • Where the evidence is kept, and who keeps it up to date
  • What an auditor is likely to ask for first, and whether it is ready
  • What must be closed before the audit, and what can follow
  • A briefing for the staff who will attend the audit

Why it matters

Audit findings are costly. They require remediation work, and they often lead to closer scrutiny of other areas.

Most operators can meet the requirements. The difficulty is proving it at short notice, because the evidence is spread across different systems and people.

This assessment collects that evidence while there is still time to close any gaps.

Scope

What this service does not include

  • Not a submission service.We prepare your compliance position and the evidence behind it. The submission and the audit meetings remain your responsibility.
  • Not a guarantee.No consultant can guarantee an audit result. This assessment reduces the risk of unexpected findings.
  • Not for every sector.NEPRA requirements apply to power generation and utilities. For other sectors, the gap assessment against IEC 62443 is the right service.
  • No shutdown.We do not change or interrupt any running system during this work.
