In the wake of the May 2021 ransomware attack against Colonial Pipeline, the U.S. government's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued a mandate for implementing critical cybersecurity measures across the oil and gas sector on July 21, 2022. This mandate, Security Directive Pipeline-2021-02C (SD02C), lays out security requirements for owners and operators of critical pipelines and liquified natural gas facilities to reduce the likelihood and potential impact of cyber attacks targeting oil and gas infrastructure.

In a shift from previous TSA directives, SD02C enforces a customizable, performance-based, and streamlined set of security standards that were designed to align with federal pipeline safety regulations.
