- Server hosting at a data center rated for up to a Category 5 hurricane.
What IT services for energy and utilities cover
Chrysalis Tech Group provides IT services for energy, utilities and waste companies in the Houston area: security for corporate networks and the operational technology (OT) that runs field equipment, connectivity for field sites and crews, and business continuity planned around Gulf Coast hurricanes and freezes. Monitoring and help desk support run 24/7, and the work is priced as a flat monthly fee quoted on the agreed scope.
Who we support
Operators whose systems keep power, gas, water or waste services running for other people.
Utilities and municipal service providers
Water, gas and electric providers run supervisory and dispatch systems that cannot simply be switched off for an update.
Waste and environmental services
Route planning, dispatch, scale houses and billing depend on connections that reach yards and trucks as well as the office.
Operations, IT and compliance leads
You answer to regulators, insurers and the board, and you need logs and access records without building a security team from scratch.
Critical infrastructure IT risks we help you manage
Protecting essential public services, energy assets and field teams against cyber threats and downtime.
Targeted cyber and ransomware attacks
Critical infrastructure and utility supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) environments face targeted cyber threats aiming to disrupt essential power, gas and waste operations.
Complex regulatory mandates
Some energy and utility operators face security reviews tied to pipeline, bulk electric, environmental or customer requirements. Those reviews usually need clear records of access controls, logging, backups and data security.
Severe weather and field disruption
Hurricanes, freezes and extreme weather threaten field stations and telemetry data, which calls for resilient backup and recovery strategies designed to minimize data loss and business disruption.
Mission-critical tech built for energy and waste operations
High-reliability infrastructure and zero-trust security tailored for essential service providers.
High-availability business continuity
Redundant cloud backups and automated failover architecture designed to minimize downtime for remote monitoring tools, dispatch systems and billing databases when a site or system fails.
Zero-trust threat defense and managed detection and response
Managed detection and response (MDR), continuous log monitoring, multi-factor authentication and threat isolation to help protect critical operational technology.
Artificial intelligence (AI) services and operational automation
Deploy custom AI models to optimize route management, automate predictive maintenance tracking and analyze large-scale utility telemetry data.
Field and remote site connectivity
Secure links between headquarters, field offices, yards and remote sites, with cellular backup where a single line would leave a site cut off.
Get a bird’s-eye view of your company’s compliance and security
Audit your corporate data pathways, email security and regulatory exposure in under 5 minutes.
Request a risk assessmentWhat changes for your operation
- Corporate and operational networks are separated and monitored, so an infected office laptop has no easy path to field equipment.
- Dispatch, billing and records have a written recovery plan before hurricane season starts.
- Audit requests are easier to answer because logs and access records are kept as part of the agreed plan.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about energy IT, compliance and disaster recovery.
How do you help utility companies maintain regulatory compliance?
We conduct thorough risk assessments, implement end-to-end data encryption, configure role-based access controls and provide automated audit logging: the technical controls that frameworks such as the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) pipeline guidelines call for, where they apply to your operations. Your compliance team owns the program and the filings; we build, run and document the controls.
Can you secure operational technology without disrupting operations?
Yes, with planning. We start by mapping what connects to what, then separate operational technology from the corporate network, restrict remote access and monitor traffic. Changes to live systems are scheduled with your operations team, and anything that needs an equipment vendor’s approval waits for it.
How does your disaster recovery system protect us during severe weather events?
Our business continuity solutions replicate your critical databases and dispatch tools to secure off-site cloud environments. If a local facility loses power or is damaged, those systems can be brought up in the cloud by following a recovery plan agreed in advance, designed to minimize data loss and business disruption.
Can our servers be hosted somewhere built for Houston hurricanes?
Yes. Chrysalis houses client servers at Fibertown, a data center rated for up to a Category 5 hurricane. With cloud backups and failover alongside it, dispatch, billing and records have a recovery path that does not depend on your own building.
Do you work alongside our own IT and control system engineers?
Yes. Control system engineers usually own the operational equipment, and that should not change. Through co-managed IT, Chrysalis adds help desk, monitoring and security work around them, and the plan sets out who owns what.
Can AI solutions be integrated into our waste or utility dispatch systems?
Yes. We deploy custom AI and automation tools designed to analyze route efficiency, automate routine dispatch updates and predict equipment maintenance cycles before breakdowns occur.
