A water & power utility hardened SCADA-adjacent sites with physical security and tied operational alarms to public warning — meeting AWIA and NERC CIP while keeping crews safe.
Substations and pump stations sat unmanned and exposed, with AWIA risk-and-resilience obligations the utility couldn't fully evidence. Physical security was a mix of dated cameras nobody watched.
Most critically, operational alarms never reached the public: a dam or flood condition in SCADA had no automatic path to the downstream warning sirens.
HQE hardened the sites, watched them around the clock, and bridged the SCADA alarm directly to the public sirens.
Critical sites get AI video analytics and intrusion detection, monitored 24/7 from a security operations center.
Operational alarms cross a secure bridge into SiSA, so a dam or flood condition can drive warning automatically.
A voice-siren network covers the inundation zone, activated the instant the operational threshold is crossed.
HQE delivers the documentation and SOC processes that satisfy AWIA and NERC CIP audits.
Every deployment is brand-agnostic and built from HQE's proprietary, ML/AI-powered ecosystem — integrated into one pane of glass.
A disciplined, mission-grade delivery process — the same five phases on every HQE engagement.
RF / coverage survey, threat model & compliance gap analysis on-site.
Brand-agnostic system design engineered to your facilities & mandates.
Bridge existing systems — alarms, access, C2 — into one pane of glass.
Phased install, load-testing, live drills & operator certification.
24/7 monitoring, supervised health & lifecycle support contract.
Every critical facility under continuous AI-assisted watch.
Documentation and controls cleared the resilience audit.
A SCADA threshold now arms the downstream public sirens itself.
An operational alarm at the dam now triggers the downstream sirens automatically. We closed the gap between the control room and the public.
