Consortium governance
Membership, voting, upgrade and exit rules written down and agreed with participants before the network goes live.
Industry context
Blockchain platforms and networks in energy and utilities
We set up permissioned ledgers that several organisations run together, with the governance, identity and integration each member needs.
A permissioned ledger is shared infrastructure, so most of the work is governance: who runs nodes, who can join, how keys are issued and how members agree upgrades. We set up the network, the identity and membership model and the integration with each member's systems, and we document the operating rules every participant signs up to.
Energy and utility companies run long-lived assets where reliability and safety come first, and their control systems fall under OT security requirements. Field crews, control room operators and asset managers need changes scheduled within approved shutdowns and maintenance seasons, under HSE rules. Shared ledgers in the region often include government or regulated members, so data residency, the UAE PDPL, the Saudi PDPL and each member's sector regulator shape what may be written to the ledger.
After stabilisation we hand over to your teams or keep running the service with you.
Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.
How the work is organised
From design to stable operation, with the evidence operations, HSE and regulators ask for.
Node and identity operations
Node hosting, certificate authorities and key issuance designed so each member controls its own identities and data.
Integration with member systems
Adapters that post to and read from the ledger without duplicating records already held in each member's core systems.
OT security and sector rules
We design around OT security requirements such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation and the Dubai Electronic Security Center's standards, or NCA OTCC in Saudi Arabia, with IEC 62443 for control systems, and keep the compliance evidence your regulator and HSE function review.
Data placement rules
Rules for what is written on the ledger and what stays off it, so personal data is not stored where it cannot be erased.
Network operations
Monitoring, upgrades and incident handling shared between members under a written operating agreement.
Checks before you start
A shared ledger is worth building when several parties need the same record and none of them should hold it alone.
- The OT security controls that apply to you have been identified.
- At least two organisations have agreed to share the ledger and named an owner on each side.
- The members have agreed which data goes on the ledger and which stays in their own systems.
