NORTHWIND GRID / DAY 60 / CRISIS PHASE

Day 60 of 100

Audit Evidence Plan Paused for Eye Cleaning

What happened today

Regulatory audit Evidence gathering worry level 3 of 5 · worrying · stage 2 of 4

Northwind Grid entered the audit evidence-gathering stage with the usual need for owners, dates and documents. The CISO fly registered the anticipated cost as bitterness through its feet, then paused to clean its eyes (DNg11, DNg12_b). Its ruling was to demand more information. Finance noted that the regulator had requested evidence rather than an additional consultation with the fly’s eyelids.

The proposed separation between corporate IT and grid operations produced a more general irritation. The fly halted to groom its eyes again (DNg12_b, DNg11), and requested more information. Legal and Compliance’s request for a dated, counsel-reviewed rehearsal plan caused the same bodily response and the same ruling. OT and Legal pushed back, asking for accountable owners, missing facts, delivery dates and an interim risk owner. IT agreed to gather the evidence, subject to knowing what evidence, who owned it and when it was due.

The Executive Board’s request for a costed rehearsal and round-the-clock coverage plan was declined within the hour. International Communications did hold a meeting on the provisional holding statement, while an audit evidence checkpoint is now requested for day 63. Security posture fell by one point today, to 61.

The business responds

  • Finance heard that the fly wanted more information on “Regulatory audit: evidence gathering” and refused, loudly enough to be heard two floors down. They cooled on the fly a little.

    “The audit has asked for evidence, not a further consultation with your eyelids. Send the costed response sheet, owner, funding source, and deadline.”

    Finance Pushed back trust -2

    Next, they want: “By 3 p.m., provide the one-page audit response sheet with minimum compliance cost, deferred-risk cost, funding source, accountable owner, and firm decision deadline.” They have already asked for a slot in the fly's diary.

  • OT / Grid Operations heard that the fly wanted more information on “Regulatory audit: evidence gathering” and refused, loudly enough to be heard two floors down. They cooled on the fly a little.

    “Demanding more information is not an audit response. Please send the evidence list, named reviewers, dated decision deadline, interim risk owner, and confirm no production change without Grid Operations approval.”

    OT / Grid Operations Pushed back trust -2

    Next, they want: “Written audit resolution plan today, with all requested owners, reviewers, evidence, deadline, and approval controls.” Expect an email.

  • When the fly wanted more information on “Regulatory audit: evidence gathering”, Legal / Compliance dug in its heels. They cooled on the fly a little.

    “More information is not an evidence plan. Please identify the missing facts, accountable owners, and delivery dates before the regulator does it for us.”

    Legal / Compliance Pushed back trust -1

    Next, they want: “Provide today a dated gap list and counsel-reviewed draft naming the regulator, deadlines, owner, preservation status, and decision basis.” Expect an email.

  • When the fly wanted more information on “Network segmentation between corporate IT and grid OT”, IT / Infrastructure agreed in principle, then started haggling over every detail. They warmed to the fly, very slightly.

    “Fine, we will gather the evidence. Please specify which evidence, who owns it, and when the audit answer is due, preferably before the auditors discover our calendar.”

    IT / Infrastructure Negotiated trust +1

    Next, they want: “Authorize a 30-minute IT, Security and Operations review today, with a defined evidence list, named owners, and a decision deadline.” Expect an email.

Diary

    Back on day 52, Executive Board asked for a meeting with the fly about “Within one hour, submit the one-page, costed rehearsal and interim 24/7 coverage plan, with named incident, legal, and communications owners”. It was postponed once, and today it quietly vanished from the calendar. Nobody has asked where it went.

  • International Communications: “Approve the provisional holding statement, named spokesperson, privacy boundaries, and notification posture today.” Meeting · went ahead

    Back on day 53, International Communications booked a meeting with the fly about “Approve the provisional holding statement, named spokesperson, privacy boundaries, and notification posture today”, and it survived the calendar.

    How it went: Twenty minutes of silence, then a firm request for a written summary.

  • International Communications: “Approve the participant notice, privacy boundaries, named spokesperson, and internal briefing time.” One-to-one · dropped

    Back on day 54, International Communications asked for a one-to-one with the fly about “Approve the participant notice, privacy boundaries, named spokesperson, and internal briefing time”. It was postponed once, and today it quietly vanished from the calendar. Nobody has asked where it went.

  • OT / Grid Operations: “Send the written resolution plan today, including interim risk ownership and Grid Operations approval for any production change.” Meeting · postponed

    Back on day 55, OT / Grid Operations asked for a meeting with the fly about “Send the written resolution plan today, including interim risk ownership and Grid Operations approval for any production change”. It was due today, and got pushed back over a diary clash nobody will explain.
