We have voiced to utilities that implementation and/or replacement of energy devices onto residential, commercial and industrial buildings and households should seek to have the customer expecting month-by-month a reduction in energy consumption and billing.

We advocate a best-practice whereby:

  1. Utility companies partner with companies performing energy facility assessments and / or

  2. Energy Consumers are provided federal, state or local grants to engage in third-party providers of renewable products/services.

The energy audit consists of reviewing the building shell, lighting, air conditioning, heating and other equipment.

Thursday, 26 April 2012 Category GRC 0 Comments

Participating and reviewing smart meter / smart grid programs have allowed us to evangelize the need for utilities to established a continuous near real-time enterprise-wide platform. The economics of today is forcing executives to overcome the regulatory issues and utilities standards of upgrading the current grid to resolve:

  1. Limited energy storage
  2. Central power generation
  3. One=way binary demand response
  4. Limited real-time data
  5. Reactive outage management systems

Organizations must track and monitor all access to cardholder data and related network resources – in stores, regional offices, headquarters, and other remote access.

Yes, it is well documented that the three (3) tenets for adhering to PCI DSS 2.0 are as follows:

Assess - Identifying cardholder data, taking an inventory of your IT assets and business processes for payment card processing, and analyzing them for vulnerabilities that could expose cardholder data.

Remediate - Fixing vulnerabilities and not storing cardholder data unless you need it.

Report - Compiling and submitting required remediation validation records (if applicable), and submitting compliance reports to the acquiring bank and card.

PCI DSS 2.0 Monitoring

While participating in smart meter / smart grid programs, we have seen cash flow optimization by improving revenue realization and reducing costs for the utilities by:

  1. Implementing a full function metering solution for residential, commercial and industrial customers.
  2. Implementing the wireless communication network that provides the means to collect meter reading data and manage meter assets.
  3. Implementing the switch that will enable all connect, disconnect, and remote reconnect processes to be completed remotely
