Industries

Sector Risk, Met with Sector‑Specific Defense.

Eight industries, each with its own attack vectors, obligations and outcome, mapped to DAAKYI's priority capabilities: Government & Public Sector; Banking & Financial Services; Energy, Oil & Gas and Utilities; Healthcare; Telecommunications; Transportation & Logistics; Manufacturing & Industrial; and Digital Infrastructure & Cloud Providers.

Executive Summary

  • 01Sector defense starts with how adversaries actually behave against each industry.
  • 02One incident can trigger several laws, so controls should be mapped once and evidenced many times.
  • 03Programs should cover all six NIST CSF 2.0 functions, including Govern and Recover.

The Context Behind Our Approach

Threat Models Differ by Sector

Generic baselines miss sector-specific attack paths. Start from adversary behavior instead. MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise organizes that behavior into 14 tactics, and each sector exercises different techniques. A bank watches credential abuse and payment manipulation. A utility watches remote access and movement from IT into control networks. For OT, IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82 address constraints that enterprise baselines ignore, such as systems that cannot be patched on demand. Controls then follow the paths that matter.

Obligations Overlap, So Map Them Once

Several laws can apply to one incident. A Ghanaian hospital with US-linked operations may face Act 843, HIPAA and, where EU residents are involved, the GDPR 72-hour breach notification duty. Act 1038 provides for Critical Information Infrastructure protection and incident reporting. Treat these as one control set. Map safeguards once to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A, which has 93 controls, then show how each satisfies each obligation. Rehearse notification before an incident, not during one.

Judge Programs by Function Coverage

NIST CSF 2.0 has six functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover. Buyers should confirm a sector program covers all six, not only Protect. Ask how recovery is tested for services that cannot go dark, and how incident handling follows NIST SP 800-61. Ask for evidence tied to sector requirements, such as PCI DSS v4.0.1 for payment environments, rather than generic assurance reports that fit any organization.

Attackers do not treat every sector alike. Neither should the controls that defend them.

Glossary

Key Terms

IT/OT Convergence
The connection of business networks to industrial control systems, which lets attackers pivot from office IT into physical operations.
Critical Information Infrastructure
Systems designated under Act 1038 whose disruption would seriously affect national security, the economy or public welfare.
Data Controller
The party that decides how personal data is processed and must register under Act 843.
