GrayMatter’s SCADA Assessment assigns a score of 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) in four categories. An average of those scores gives an overall view of an organization's SCADA system.
- Technology Utilization
- Screen Optimization
- Product Versioning
- Backup & Recovery
Technology Utilization
- Evaluate available features in SCADA-linked technologies
- Determine communication protocols of SCADA assets
- Highlight redundancies and remote access options to mitigate equipment failures, power loss and other emergencies
Screen Optimization
- Review operator dashboards for ease of use within ANSI/ISA standards
- Examine current High-Performance Graphics or develop HPG examples
- Confirm effective training documentation exists to assist new employees
Product Versioning
- Appraise current versus latest versions of SCADA-connected software
- Weigh costs, complexity and security implications of upgrading software and equipment
- Document current version control measures
Backup & Recovery
- Assess need for high-availability, fault-tolerant servers
- Identify server failover capabilities configuration options
- Outline data backup procedures
