Governance & Lifecycle Mapping

Align Cybersecurity with

Effective cybersecurity begins with governance—and endures through lifecycle discipline. InfraShield’s Governance & Lifecycle Mapping services help critical infrastructure operators translate cybersecurity policies, regulatory frameworks, and operational requirements into a unified, defensible governance structure that evolves alongside your systems, assets, and mission.

Whether you’re launching a new program or reconciling decades of disparate investments and procedures, we help you make security an integrated, transparent, and future-ready function.

What Is Governance & Lifecycle Mapping?

InfraShield’s governance and lifecycle mapping approach delivers full-spectrum visibility into how cybersecurity functions are embedded across your organization—from board-level directives to device-level implementations.

We help you:

Identify where cybersecurity policies exist (and where they don’t)

Map controls, procedures, and requirements to asset lifecycle stages

Align program strategy with mission objectives, regulatory mandates, and operational constraints

Uncover misaligned or orphaned controls, duplicate efforts, and gaps in ownership

The result: a traceable, scalable cybersecurity program that improves decision-making, supports compliance, and enables long-term resilience.

InfraShield’s services are tailored to your regulatory context (e.g., NEI 08-09, NIST 800-53, NERC CIP, TSA, HIPAA), system environment ( IT, OT, hybrid), and maturity level. We build and validate models that support your leadership, operations, and compliance goals across the full control lifecycle. Core Services Include:

Governance Alignment

  • Review and rationalization of policies, charters, risk frameworks, and control libraries
  • Mapping of cybersecurity roles, responsibilities, and decision ownership across departments
  • Creation of traceability matrices to link governance artifacts to operational procedures and control sets
  • Tailored to regulatory contexts (e.g., NEI 08-09, NIST 800-53, NERC CIP, TSA, HIPAA)
  • Adapted for system environments (IT, OT, hybrid) and maturity levels

Lifecycle Mapping

  • End-to-end mapping of cybersecurity touchpoints across asset lifecycle phases (procurement, engineering change, operations, retirement)
  • Identification of control overlap, policy gaps, and misaligned risk ownership
  • Integration of cybersecurity controls with capital project planning, IT/OT lifecycle strategies, and asset management platforms

Program Integration

  • Governance model creation or refinement (single-site vs. fleet-wide)
  • Development of dashboards, documentation systems, and change management workflows
  • Integration with existing risk/compliance infrastructure and CAP processes
