Case Study 2

Commitment

INNIO Group have been a client of Redtail Consulting’s since late 2019. They are a Global Energy Solution and Service Provider, delivering innovative energy solutions and services for power generation and compression segments.

INNIO’s Jenbacher and Waukesha product brands and myPlant digital platform harness the power of engineering, technology and green energy to accelerate a cleaner tomorrow.

After a recent divestiture from General Electric (GE) and now under Private Equity ownership (Advent International), INNIO lost the usual support you could come to expect from a multinational conglomerate to reinforce their security function and implemented processes. With the growing number of Information Security Risks, INNIO wanted to take further steps to mitigate the risk of a cyber security risk or event.

With these considerations in mind, INNIO sought out Cyber Security Consultancy and Delivery expertise to support and enhance their existing security function.

RedTail Consulting was engaged in this capacity in 2019.

Substance

Using accredited, highly experienced and engaged Consultants, RedTail developed a Cyber Maturity Programme to enhance existing processes which would continuously improve and assure their security function.

Working with INNIO’s Chief Information Security Officer to develop a strategic roadmap, RedTail were also engaged on a number of tactical responses in relation to security events, incidents and broader board initiatives.

Quickly recognising RedTail’s agility, it wasn’t long before overall delivery management was requested by INNIO. Moving RedTail from consultancy through to delivery was agreed and additional resources were identified and onboarded efficiently from RedTail, negating the usual recruiting or procurement obstacles that could materially impact the Time, Cost and Scope of Global Programmes.

RedTail were also able to supplement their consultation and delivery with a number of Managed Service offerings, further enhancing INNIO’s security footprint and reach, whilst also transferring a key list of critical risk mitigations.

Work throughout the stabilisation and optimisation journey described here also identified areas within wider Risk Management and Operational Continuity where RedTail have helped INNIO Group to significantly improve their posture.

Outcomes

INNIO’s Cyber Maturity Programme, developed and delivered largely by RedTail Consulting, was a great success and widely acknowledged by the CISO and Board of INNIO Group.

Implementation and enablement of a world class Cyber Security Awareness platform (Knowbe4).

RedTail remain engaged over 40 months later delivering further benefits to INNIO’s security posture.

RedTail’s ability to work with INNIO, from discovery through to the implementation of strategic initiatives was of great benefit to INNIO as a customer. Not only we’re they able to leverage the extensive reach of capabilities and knowledge held within RedTail, but they also enabled far greater return of investment through these holistic capabilities.

In the period since RedTail were engaged to elevate INNIO’s Information Security and Cyber Security posture, there has been zero significant attacks. This despite several ransomware (et similar) attacks on competitors in the Manufacturing and Energy space.

• INNIO Groups NIST rating has gone from Weak to Exemplary
• Significant Cyber Insurance premium reductions
