IADC Cybersecurity Committee
Mission Statement
To develop digital security guidelines for drilling assets that are built upon existing industry standards and best practices.
Goals
To develop easy-to-use, practically applicable and tailored cybersecurity guidelines for drilling assets.
Objectives
Review existing cybersecurity regulations, industry best practices and standards of relevance for industrial control systems and drilling assets. This process begins with clearly defining the approach for standards to follow, and subsequently moving to align with standards that can be practically applied to drilling assets.

Committee Structure
A member appointed by the Chairman of IADC will chair the IADC Cybersecurity Committee. The Committee Chairman may at his discretion appoint a reasonable number of Committee Vice-Chairmen to oversee specific disciplines or issues (e.g., onshore/offshore safety issues, environmental practices, specific regulatory issues, etc.)
General meetings are open to participants from all categories of IADC membership. The Chairman may invite non-members to attend when it furthers the interests of the Committee. At the discretion of the Chairman and IADC staff, the meeting or portions of the meeting may be exclusively reserved for drilling contractor members. Meetings will be held at such times and locations as may be selected by the Chairman with the advice of the Committee.
IADC Committee activities are governed by IADC’s Antitrust Policy and Guidelines. IADC Technical Committee meetings are not open to the Press.

IADC Guidelines for Assessing and Managing Cybersecurity Risks to Drilling Assets
Cyber attacks on drilling control systems can cause enormous harm to people, the environment and equipment. These guidelines, the only guidance specifically for drilling operations, draw from international standards to provide a means to assess the risk to drilling rigs from cyber attacks. 25 pages.

Committee Initiatives
- With appointment of a new Cyber Guidelines Chair, reassert work towards progressing this objective.
- Begin liaising with IOGP on cyber considerations being undertaken by its Operator members.
- Further explore implications of cybersecurity concerns as the digitalization focus continues to take hold for upstream interests.
