Personal data obligations and ICO expectations, mapped and evidenced.

Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus

The NCSC baseline controls many contracts now require, kept audit-ready.

NIS Regulations

Network and information systems duties for operators of essential services and digital providers.

ISO 27001

Information security management, pre-mapped to your controls.

AI governance

A practical path to safe, accountable AI aligned with the UK's pro-innovation approach.

UK & EU data residency

Keep data in your Safe Zone, hosted in the UK or the EU under the EU Data Boundary, with residency you can demonstrate.

For Critical Infrastructure across the UK and Europe

See ORCA Opti for UK & European Critical Infrastructure

NIS Regulations in the UK and NIS2 plus the CER Directive in the EU have together created the most coordinated cyber and resilience regime in the world. Operators of essential and important entities, digital service providers and their suppliers all need evidence-grade controls. ORCA Opti brings NIS2, CER, sector frameworks and OT controls into one Pan-European programme.

NIS, NIS2 and CER demonstrable

UK NIS Regulations, EU NIS2 essential and important-entity controls and the CER Directive mapped to evidence, ready for sector supervisors.

National-interest data in the Safe Zone

Identity, payments, network and energy data inside the Safe Zone with UK and EEA residency, plus AI Guardian for every assistant interaction.

Incident reporting on the clock

NIS2 24-hour early warning and 72-hour notification, NCSC reporting and ICO breach reporting workflows pre-built and rehearsed.

OT, IT and IoT in one programme

Operational technology, information technology and connected IoT estates mapped to IEC 62443 and ISO 27001 in a single control set.

The pressure

What CI operators are seeing

State-aligned activity, NIS2 supervisors stepping up and OT ransomware have moved CI resilience from policy paragraph to continuous practice.

State-aligned threat activity

Critical infrastructure is the most-targeted sector by state-aligned actors. Detection, segmentation and incident readiness must be evidence-backed.

Sector regulators stacking up

Ofgem, Ofwat, ONR, Ofcom, FCA, PRA, MHRA, DfT and EU national supervisors all expect NIS2-aligned evidence in their own framework.

Supply chain compromise risk

Third-party software, OT vendors and managed services are the most common breach origin. Vendor risk must be continuous, not annual.

OT ransomware in the wild

Ransomware on OT is no longer theoretical. Energy, water, transport and manufacturing across the UK and EU have all been hit.

Frameworks built in

NIS2, sector regulator and international baseline

ORCA Opti ships with the obligations Pan-European CI runs on. Controls pre-mapped, evidence structured and reporting current.

NIS, NIS2 & CER Directive

UK NIS Regulations, EU NIS2 essential and important-entity controls and the Critical Entities Resilience Directive mapped.

ICO, NCSC & EU CSIRTs

ICO breach notification, NCSC reporting and EU national CSIRT coordination handled by one incident workflow.

IEC 62443 & ISA 99

Operational technology and industrial control system cyber security controls applied across OT estates.

ISO 27001 & ISO 27019

Information security plus the energy-utility extension, applied across IT and OT in one programme.

UK GDPR & EU GDPR

Personal data protection mapped to CI controls and citizen-facing services across UK and EEA.

NIST CSF, CRA & sector frameworks

NIST Cybersecurity Framework, EU Cyber Resilience Act and sector frameworks (financial, energy, water, transport, health) mapped to one control set.
