Alation for Energy & Utilities

Energy and utilities organisations face growing challenges in a rapidly changing regulatory landscape. Regulations like the Consumer Data Right (CDR) and the Australian Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act 2018 require secure data management across the energy ecosystem, from generators to distributors, suppliers, and retailers.

The CDR gives consumers control of their data, requiring energy providers to follow strict privacy rules. The SOCI Act enforces stronger security, risk management, and cyber incident reporting.
