Critical infrastructure can't afford
an AI foundation built on guesswork.
For CNI operators, asset data is not just an operational issue, it is a national security issue. Brainwave Asset Intelligence brings SC-cleared expertise and SAFE-AI™ governance to the organisations where data failure has consequences that extend well beyond the balance sheet.
The stakes that make data governance non-negotiable
Convergence creates new data governance gaps
As operational and information technology converge, asset data models from both domains must be aligned. Most organisations have neither the frameworks nor the talent to do this safely.
Cyber-secure data architecture is mandatory
NCSC guidance and CAF requirements mean AI systems in CNI must be designed with security-by-default from the data layer up. We build that in from day one.
Regulators are now enforcing on asset-data governance
The ONR fined Sellafield Ltd £332,500 in 2024 — not for a breach, but for failing to demonstrate adequate control over its own IT and OT asset estate. NIS2 tightens those obligations further. The question for every CNI board is whether their asset data would survive the same scrutiny.
