Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for TSA Pipeline Security?

Following high-profile pipeline attacks, TSA issued mandatory security directives requiring pipeline operators to implement specific cybersecurity measures, report incidents within 24 hours, and designate a cybersecurity coordinator.

1. Cybersecurity Implementation Plan

We develop and operate the Cybersecurity Implementation Plan (CIP) TSA requires—documenting network architecture, access controls, monitoring capabilities, and patch management procedures for all pipeline OT and IT systems.

2. 24-Hour Incident Reporting

TSA requires pipeline operators to report cybersecurity incidents to CISA within 24 hours. Our 24/7 SOC ensures incidents are detected, assessed, and reported within the mandated timeframe.

3. OT/IT Network Segmentation

We architect and manage the segmentation between pipeline operational technology and corporate IT networks, preventing lateral movement while maintaining operational visibility.

4. Access Control and Monitoring

We implement role-based access controls for all pipeline control systems, with continuous monitoring and anomaly detection tuned for SCADA and industrial control environments.

5. Annual Assessment Support

TSA requires annual assessments of cybersecurity measures. We support these assessments with evidence collection, control testing, and remediation tracking.
