United States (AWWA)
vVersion 4.0 (12 May 2025)
17 domains
100 controls
AWWA's cybersecurity guidance for drinking water and wastewater systems in its 2025 fourth edition: 100 recommended controls in 17 families for OT and enterprise IT, from awareness training, governance and continuity planning through access control, MFA and remote access, incident response, physical security, asset management and logging, to network segmentation, wireless and encryption, each cross-referenced to NIST CSF 2.0 and flagged where it is one of the small-system baseline controls. Built from the complete guidance, which supports Safe Drinking Water Act §1433 risk and resilience assessments.
