Utilities face simultaneous pressures: rising threats, shrinking budgets, and talent scarcity. Offshore augmentation places specialized engineers inside your workflows quickly, delivering faster remediation and 20-40% cost efficiency without sacrificing quality.
What Works Well
- Follow-the-sun SOC coverage with senior analysts.
- Embedded cloud and OT engineers to close misconfigurations rapidly.
- Compliance leads to keep NERC, NIST, and HIPAA aligned.
Engagement Model
- Discovery workshop (2 hours) to map gaps.
- Engineer shortlists in 72 hours with certifications and case studies.
- Pilot sprint (2-4 weeks) with measurable outcomes.
- Scale up/down monthly based on backlog and risk.
Results Snapshot
Regional utility cut MTTR from 6h to 3h and closed 120 cloud misconfigurations in 30 days with two offshore engineers.
