MORGAN HILL, CA – (September 15, 2021) – AssurX, Inc., a leader in Regulatory Compliance software for the energy and utility industry. They also provide Quality Management System (QMS) software for FDA and other regulated industries. Today, AssurX announced a strategic partnership with Rokster. Rokster is a leading technology consulting firm specializing in Regulatory Compliance. They also focus on Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Business Intelligence for the utility and life sciences space. AssurX’s innovative Energy and Compliance System (ECOS) software and Rokster’s extensive compliance and cybersecurity consulting expertise will align. This partnership will address today’s growing customer needs for cybersecurity management and compliance in the utility space.
The AssurX ECOS platform is a highly versatile automated Regulatory Compliance Management Software. It is used to improve quality and compliance. Moreover, it streamlines workflow and controls risk to better manage any enterprise. The ECOS platform is built on the same configurable software platform as the AssurX Quality Management System (QMS). This feature perfectly complements Rokster’s consulting expertise. It combines expert hands-on cybersecurity knowledge with intuitive technology. This ensures seamless ongoing cybersecurity management and compliance.
”The partnership between Rokster and AssurX is a great fit for our energy compliance management system,” explained Tamar June, President and CEO of AssurX. “AssurX software is uniquely designed to build a robust, process-driven system for managing NERC CIP compliance. Customers can further extend their system utilization for other requirements of NERC and regional compliance. Thus, the result is a single source of truth for all cybersecurity management, NERC, and PRC issue tracking and mitigation. The collective expertise of AssurX and Rokster is a significant benefit to energy companies. They need to better control risk and demonstrate compliance.”

Rokster’s regulatory compliance and cybersecurity services include NERC CIP program development, gap analysis, mock audits, audit preparation, vulnerability assessments, physical security, supply chain risk management, and ransomware readiness assessments. The company’s ability to help in these areas for industrial control systems and operational technology environments has proven to be critical. This is especially true for utility businesses’ cybersecurity protection and compliance programs. The increasing concern that ransomware and cyber threats bring to power grids, energy distribution channels, and manufacturing plants makes their services vital.
“This partnership marries both company’s sweet spots—Rokster’s expert knowledge along with AssurX’s technology. Once we identify a plan to help utility customers minimize risk to online threats and cyber attacks, the AssurX system makes maintaining that operational efficiency very easy in the long term. Customers can automate and manage all quality and compliance processes with one system. Plus, we can work in tandem with AssurX to help customers realize the full ROI potential of AssurX’s software,” noted Rokster’s Vice President of Cybersecurity, Dominick Birolin, CISSP, CISA.
