SAFEgroup Automation (SGA) SCADA Audit is an independent review of all the aspects of a SCADA system. We created the SCADA Audit review to pinpoint any SCADA issues that may be causing operational inefficiencies. As some systems tend to cause chaos over time, doing a SCADA Audit can provide preventative maintenance and identify potential risks in the SCADA system, well before any major issues may occur.
The SCADA Audit is a collaborative process between SGA staff and your team, and can be performed either on-site or remotely. Documentation, as well as the SCADA, is reviewed and minor works can be completed during the audit. Therefore, the SCADA Audit generally takes about a week to complete.
The most common issues discovered through the SCADA Audit are insufficient historic, event and audit storage intervals; tuning and configuration of DNP channels; and excessive historical data and alarms.
An SGA SCADA Audit provides a detailed report to the client which provides an in-depth analysis of the system, an executive summary and a comprehensive list of recommendations indicating risk and priorities. All modifications and improvements performed during the Audit are also documented and provided to yourself and your team.
