Security by Design

Trust is the most valuable asset. Our entire ecosystem is built on the
Power Currency Cybersecurity Maturity Model (PC-CMM).

Explore the 10 Domains

What is the PC-CMM?

The Power Currency Cybersecurity Maturity Model (PC-CMM) is a structured framework for securing the entire energy-backed economy.

It's designed to protect everything from peer-to-peer energy transactions to the national grid infrastructure from cyber-physical threats. It provides a clear, auditable path for all participants—from a single homestead to a national bank—to assess, manage, and improve their security.

This model integrates with existing standards NIST and NERC CIP to create a single, unified standard for the new decentralized energy and financial ecosystem.

A New Threat Model

When your currency is backed by physical energy, a cyberattack isn't just data theft—it's a potential attack on the power grid. The PC-CMM is designed to secure both the digital and physical assets (cyber-physical) of the Power Currency ecosystem.

The 10 Domains of PC-CMM

The framework consists of 10 cybersecurity domains that cover the Power Currency system.

1. Asset, Change & Configuration Management (ASSET)

Securely manage digital and physical energy assets.

2. Threat & Vulnerability Management (THREAT)

Identify, track, and mitigate risks to energy-backed transactions and decentralized systems.

3. Risk Management (RISK)

Establish an enterprise-wide risk framework integrating energy and IT.

4. Identity & Access Management (ACCESS)

Implement authentication, role-based access, and secure validation.

5. Situational Awareness (SITUATION)

Monitor and respond to cyber-physical risks in real-time across energy and financial systems.

6. Event & Incident Response (RESPONSE)

Ensure resilience against cyberattacks, market manipulation, and grid disruptions.

7. Third-Party Risk Management (THIRD-PARTIES)

Secure Power Currency vendors, smart grid technology providers, and infrastructure.

8. Workforce Management (WORKFORCE)

Train and certify professionals in cybersecurity for energy-backed finance.

9. Cybersecurity Architecture (ARCHITECTURE)

Define a layered security model for networks, distributed ledgers, and transaction systems.

10. Cybersecurity Program Management (PROGRAM)

Establish governance to align cybersecurity investments with FinTech objectives.

Maturity Indicator Levels (MILs)

The PC-CMM defines a clear path for improvement across every domain, from basic security to autonomous, self-healing networks.

MIL 0

Initial

No formal cybersecurity practices exist.

MIL 1

Basic

Basic, ad hoc cybersecurity measures are in place.

MIL 2

Managed

Documented processes and risk-based prioritization are established.

MIL 3

Advanced

Advanced, automated, and AI-driven security systems with continuous improvement cycles are deployed.
