OT insight and IT governance,
without breaking the boundary.
Operational data lives in SCADA historians and OT networks that IT analytics was never designed to cross safely. Regulatory filings require evidence from multiple systems. Asset models need explainability to clear engineering review. Quadrazene routes each System through the right model, collects evidence continuously, and makes the forecasts auditors and engineers will both accept.
Today
What we see in the field.
OT and IT analytics don't cross the boundary safely
SCADA historians, EMS/ADMS, and field sensors hold the data that matters. IT analytics stacks were never designed to query them without a risky integration project that the OT team doesn't want to approve.
Regulatory evidence collection is a manual project
NERC CIP, FERC, and EU CSRD filings require evidence assembled from multiple systems by hand. The compliance team rebuilds the story at every filing cycle.
Asset models don't pass engineering review
Degradation and failure-prediction models produce a number, not an explanation. Engineering review requires understanding which signals drove the prediction before they'll act on it.
CIP-004 access reviews are point-in-time
NERC CIP-004 requires periodic access certification. The review happens at the required interval, then stops. Drift between reviews is invisible until the next cycle.
ESG and CSRD reporting pulls from too many systems
EU CSRD scope-3 and environmental metrics are spread across metering, operations, and supply-chain systems. Pulling them together for a disclosure takes weeks and produces a number no one can re-verify.
AI tools want to be their own OT perimeter
Each analytics vendor wants its own connectivity into the historian, its own credentials, its own audit. None of which the OT security team is going to approve.
Regulatory context
The frameworks you already operate against.
Quadrazene's policy engine and audit ledger are framework-shaped. Specific control mappings available under NDA.
NERC CIP
Critical Infrastructure Protection. CIP-004 (access management) maps to continuous access review + evidence pack. CIP-007 (system security) maps to Trust Layer gate events.
FERC
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Evidence collection and audit-trail requirements supported by hash-chained Records and re-verifiable NDJSON export.
EU CSRD (ESG)
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Multi-system ESG metric collection with provenance. Every disclosed number traceable to its source record.
Regional environmental regulations
Emissions reporting, water use, and waste obligations vary by jurisdiction. Quadrazene's policy engine is tenant-tunable to each regional requirement.
ISO 55001 (asset management)
Asset management systems standard. Explainable degradation forecasts and maintenance recommendations align to the improvement-planning requirements.
NIST CSF (OT security)
Cybersecurity Framework, now covering OT scope. Trust Layer gate events, classification cap, and identity controls support the Detect and Respond functions.
How the four Engines compose
Insights surfaces OT data. Advisory makes it explainable. Governance keeps NERC CIP in scope.
Operations analysts and engineers ask questions across historian, EMS, and metering data in plain English. Answers are cited, chartable, and grounded in the source record—no hand-built query required.
Example Skills: Asset utilization trend, outage-duration analysis, generation vs forecast, demand response by interval, fuel consumption per unit.
Asset degradation forecasts that show which signals drove the prediction—vibration, temperature, run-hours, maintenance history—so engineering review can pass them. Maintenance windows prioritized by risk score, not by gut feel.
Example Skills: Asset degradation forecast with driver waterfall, failure-probability score, maintenance prioritization, generation mix optimization, ESG metric projection.
NERC CIP-004 access reviews run continuously instead of at point-in-time intervals. Evidence collects itself from every System. Findings escalate into tracked Action Items. Every policy change writes a before→after audit diff.
Example Skills: CIP-004 access certification, CIP-007 system-security audit, SoD on critical-asset write access, ESG evidence collection, policy-change audit diff.
Maintenance work orders, access revocations, regulatory submission drafts, and vendor notifications—all with HITL on the consequential ones. Actions write to the system of record and leave an audit row.
Example Skills: Raise maintenance work order, revoke CIP-affected access, draft FERC filing section, send vendor notification, trigger ESG data pull.
See it on real surfaces
Two walkthroughs that show the energy shape.
Asset degradation forecast (predict-slip shape)
The predict-slip walkthrough shows the advisory pattern: model run, KPI tiles, narrative, driver waterfall, Action Item. The same structure reuses for asset degradation—swap project milestones for run-hours and maintenance history.
Start walkthrough →NERC CIP-004 access review with evidence pack
Dormant accounts and drift surface in one packet. Owners certify in the Inbox. The auditor receives an evidence pack that re-verifies offline. Maps directly to CIP-004's periodic review requirement.
Start walkthrough →Platform surfaces that matter most
Where the energy work actually happens.
Connections
Register historian, EMS, and metering Systems with their classification. The platform enforces it everywhere.
Models · routing
Pin OT-classified Systems to on-prem models. Hosted models stay available for non-restricted analytics.
Advisory · forecasts
Asset degradation forecasts with driver waterfalls that engineering review can accept.
Governance
NERC CIP-shaped policies. ESG evidence collection. Editable inline with before→after audit diffs.
Inbox · HITL
Maintenance authorizations, access revocations, and filing approvals route here.
Records
Hash-chained provenance. Re-verifiable NDJSON export for FERC, NERC, and CSRD filings.
Security & compliance posture
The questions OT security and compliance will ask.
OT classification cap enforced at the model layer
Systems tagged with OT or critical-asset classification are denied hosted-model calls before any prompt is built. The denial fires in the Trust Layer; every event is immutable.
Customer-installable — OT credentials never leave your boundary
Run on your VM, your Kubernetes, or air-gapped. Historian credentials and OT network credentials never leave your perimeter.
On-prem LLM via Ollama (or your own)
OT-classified Systems route to your on-prem model. Hosted models stay available for IT-side analytics that aren't OT-classified.
Hash-chained audit for regulatory evidence
Every access certification, every policy evaluation, every ESG data pull is one immutable row. The regulator receives NDJSON + signed anchors and can verify offline.
BYOK with FIPS-validated KMS
Per-tenant DEKs wrapped by a CMK in your KMS. FIPS 140-3 path supported. Key-shred on offboarding.
IdP and SSO with CIP-004-aware roles
Your Entra or AD FS is the source of truth. SCIM 2.0 provisioning. Role assignments map to CIP-004 user categories; access review surfaces drift automatically.
What changes
Our gut feel for where the wins land.
Qualitative reads from the demos we've run. The shape of the change, not the size. We won't quote customer numbers we haven't measured.
Asset risk surfaces earlier
Degradation signals in historian data surface as a ranked risk list before the failure, not after. The maintenance window is scheduled, not reactive.
Regulatory evidence collects itself
NERC CIP, FERC, and CSRD evidence assembles continuously from the connected Systems. The compliance team reviews the pack instead of building it.
Explainable forecasts pass engineering review
The driver waterfall shows which signals—run-hours, temperature trend, maintenance gap—drove the prediction. Engineering review can challenge the inputs, not just reject the number.
Access reviews run continuously instead of periodically
CIP-004 drift surfaces between certification cycles, not only at the required interval. Findings escalate into tracked Action Items before the auditor arrives.
OT analytics without a risky integration project
Historian data is readable through the Connections layer without new credentials crossing the OT/IT boundary in ways the OT security team hasn't reviewed.
ESG disclosures are traceable to source
Every number in a CSRD or environmental filing traces to the Record that produced it. The auditor can re-verify the chain offline.
Where to start
Our recommended first phase for an energy pilot.
- 1.Connect one IT-side System first (metering DB or operations data warehouse, read-only). Tag its classification.
- 2.Run an asset analytics question through Insights. Show the engineering team a cited chart with a drillable follow-up.
- 3.Bond Advisory. Run the degradation-forecast walkthrough on one asset class; show the driver waterfall to the engineering reviewer.
- 4.Tag one OT-classified System. Watch the Trust Layer deny a test prompt that tries to route it to a hosted model. Show the denial event to OT security and compliance.
- 5.Run the CIP-004 access-review walkthrough. Show compliance the evidence pack before the next filing cycle.
