Announcement
The LNG Cybersecurity Framework Profile, created in collaboration with the Department of Energy's Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response, in addition to working with LNG security experts, provides a voluntary, risk-based approach for managing cybersecurity activities and reducing cyber risk to all components of the LNG supply chain. The publication explores the industry’s unique alignment of its organizational requirements and objectives, risk appetite, and resources against the desired outcomes of the Cybersecurity Framework Core.
The LNG Cybersecurity Framework Profile identifies and prioritizes opportunities for improving the cybersecurity posture of the LNG supply chain and is designed to supplement, not replace, current cybersecurity standards, regulations, and industry guidelines that are already being used by the LNG industry.
NOTE: A call for patent claims is included on page ii of this draft. For additional information, see the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) Patent Policy – Inclusion of Patents in ITL Publications.
This document is the Cybersecurity Framework Profile developed for the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) industry and the subsidiary functions that support the overarching liquefaction process, transport, and distribution of LNG. The LNG Cybersecurity Framework Profile can be used by liquefaction facilities, LNG vessels, and other supporting entities of the LNG lifecycle so that cybersecurity risks associated with these critical processes and systems can be minimized. The LNG Profile provides a voluntary, risk-based approach for managing cybersecurity activities and reducing cyber risk to the overall LNG process. The Cybersecurity Framework LNG Profile is meant to supplement but not replace current cybersecurity standards, regulations, and industry guidelines that are already being used by the Liquefied Natural Gas industry.
