    Cybersecurity for DOE Awardees

    A cybersecurity and compliance program for Department of Energy grant awardees, contractors, national lab partners, and energy-sector organizations handling regulated or sensitive information.

    The Challenge

    DOE awardees face overlapping federal and energy-sector expectations

    DOE-funded teams may need to satisfy grant terms, contractor flow-downs, CUI requirements, research data obligations, and energy-sector cybersecurity expectations at the same time.

    The result is a mixed compliance environment where NIST 800-171, DOE C2M2, CISA CPGs, NERC CIP, and NIST 800-53 may all influence the target program.

    • DOE grant and award cybersecurity requirements
    • CUI protection and federal contractor flow-downs
    • Research, lab, and energy infrastructure risk
    • Evidence packages for sponsors, primes, and auditors

    How We Support DOE Awardees

    The goal is a practical compliance program that leadership can understand, technical teams can execute, and external stakeholders can review without sorting through disconnected artifacts.

    • Scope the applicable DOE, CUI, and energy-sector obligations.
    • Map existing controls to the required frameworks.
    • Build policy, procedure, and evidence packages that support award and audit requirements.
    • Plan remediation across identity, endpoint, cloud, monitoring, and incident response.
