Why Traceability Matters
Without precise traceability, even well-intentioned cyber programs can fall short. Facilities often:
Misinterpret what NEI 08-09 or their CSP actually requires
Struggle to prove compliance across control families and domains
Overlook dependencies between cybersecurity, operations, physical security, and supply chain
Risk inspection findings, fines, and costly remediation due to inadequate documentation or visibility
An effective RTM is more than a spreadsheet—it’s a living tool that connects regulatory intent with site execution.
Our Breakdown
InfraShield brings unmatched regulatory insight and field-proven methodology to the development of traceability frameworks. Our process maps over 1,600 regulatory requirements, yielding on average 56,000+ relationships between site procedures and technical controls.
Requirements Mapping:
- Decomposition of NEI 08-09, CSP, NIST, and internal policies
- Clarification of duplicative or scattered requirement language
- Mapping of requirements to specific site procedures and technical implementations
Gap Analysis & Impact Visibility:
- Identification of unmet or partially fulfilled requirements
- Highlighting of requirement interdependencies across domains
- Visibility into how changes in one system (e.g., access controls) impact others
System-Level Validation:
- Sample RTM application to key plant systems (e.g., RPS, PCS/PPC, Physical Security, MET tower)
- Walkdowns, interviews, and artifact reviews to verify mappings in the field
- Analysis of previous findings, inspections, and CAP data
Executive Summary & Reporting:
- High-level overview of issue types, severity, and likely root causes
- Recommendations for program improvement and remediation
- Integration guidance for findings into the site’s CAP
