How we ensure security of our networks in the US

At National Grid, we use several industry recognised frameworks to implement appropriate security measures, whether related to cyber, physical or personnel security. Additionally, we are committed to complying with relevant legislation, regulatory requirements, and reliability standards.

In an increasingly digital world, cyber threats continue to emerge and evolve. We are committed to protecting our energy system from threats by implementing organizational policies, strategic measures, and advanced physical and digital technologies. 

Our People: If you see something, say something 

Our greatest asset in protecting the grid is our people. Reporting suspicious behavior is made easy and convenient, and we respond efficiently to all reports. This culture is supported by our award-winning Security Awareness and Training team. 

Evolving security measures for a safer grid 

As technology advances and new threats emerge, we are committed to maintaining a proactive approach to security that stays one step ahead of external threats. We achieve this through: 

  • Organizational policy 

  • Employee training and awareness 

  • Collaboration with law enforcement and government agencies 

  • Participation in industry security organizations and groups 

  • Threat intelligence sharing and exchange 

  • Continuous updates to our defensive postures with the latest methodologies and techniques
