Reach US TSA Pipeline Security Directive readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
The Transportation Security Administration Pipeline Security Directive series (post-Colonial Pipeline 2021) imposes mandatory cybersecurity requirements on critical US pipeline operators. SD02C requires cybersecurity implementation plans, mitigation measures (network segmentation, access controls, MFA, logging, anti-malware, patching), assessment + audit + incident reporting to CISA + TSA. Updated periodically; compliance enforced through civil penalties + criminal referral. Largely aligned with NIST CSF + NIST SP 800-82. Quick Policy maps US TSA Pipeline Security Directive into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs - and keeps it current between audits.
Standards assurance
How Quick Policy verifies against US TSA Pipeline Security Directive
Every policy Quick Policy generates is scored against US TSA Pipeline Security Directive's pass mark, with a PASS, WARN, or FAIL verdict and plain-English guidance on what to fix when it falls short.
A monthly automated audit re-checks coverage against this standard, so drift is caught between scheduled reviews rather than at the next one.
Audit-ready exports bundle the scored policies, gap guidance, and review history into one evidence pack when it is time to show your work.

- • Directly shapes policy families including Information Security, Critical Infrastructure — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
- • Common artifacts include Policy.
- • Obligation model: Mandatory In Scope — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.
