Are you fully secured for Open Water?

Are you fully secured for Open Water?

The water industry is now full steam ahead preparing for market opening in April 2017. Implementation is under way and the reality of business readiness is becoming an increasing concern for many.

The key areas that your organisation needs to address before you will be able to enter the market are:

Market Entry Assurance & Secure Platform
Are you confident you have adequate security in place to secure your networks and not pose a threat to the central hub? Can you evidence to MOSL that you have robust business processes, security and systems in place to enter the market? Do you have the governance, audit/assurance and evidence base available to provide to MOSL?

Secure Data Migration
In early 2016 MOSL’s data partner requires your cleansed system data in a specific format to load into the new Central Market Operator System. Does your organisation understand the system requirements, the timings and do you have the capacity to deliver it?
