Compliance as a live state,not an annual project.
Every control carries its current verdict, the evidence behind it, and the clock attached to any failure. Recomputed continuously from live context — not reconstructed the week before an audit.

The Chapter III register as a living object. Chapter IV segmentation proven against observed traffic, not described. Chapter IX critical findings on a 30-day clock, with attribute lineage as the audit trail.
IEC 62443
Zones and conduits declared, then continuously tested. Security levels tracked per zone. Alignment maintained through active enrichment rather than periodic review.
The auditor bundle
Register, verdicts, lineage and closures — generated from the same operational model the engineers use, rather than assembled by hand.
India's OT cyber rules,in one place.
The CEA regulation was notified on 31 July 2026 and commences on 1 April 2027. We keep a plain-language reading of it, the CERT-In Directions, NCIIPC protected systems and CSIRT-Power on one page — with the clause to quote and where each obligation lands in ASTRICS.
Compliance Console — CEA 2026 & IEC 62443
Compliance as a live state rather than an annual project: every control carries its current verdict, the evidence behind it, and the clock attached to any failure.
Zones & Conduits
Chapter IV asks an operator to prove trust-level segmentation, not describe it. Declared zones and permitted conduits are continuously tested against observed traffic, and every mismatch becomes a dated finding.
Statutory Incident Response
CEA 2026 allows six hours to notify CSIRT-Power and CERT-In. The clock, the workflow and the submission all run inside the platform, assembled from context already held.
