Security Incident Survey (July to September 2020)

In support of its mission to identify threats to the water and wastewater sector, WaterISAC is asking utilities to respond to its survey asking about incidents and suspicious activities they’ve experienced in the past quarter, from July 1 to September 30, 2020. WaterISAC will aggregate, anonymize*, and share with members the information collected from the survey in its next Quarterly Water Sector Incident Summary report. The response deadline is Friday, October 16, 2020.

Take the Survey.

To help utilities prepare their data for submission, WaterISAC has also posted a PDF version of the survey below. Please use the PDF for informational purposes only, providing actual submissions via the online survey.

If you have no incidents to report, please complete the survey anyways. Simply indicate that you experienced no physical or cyber incidents. Additionally, an option has been added allowing participants to skip incidents that are not applicable given their role (e.g., they work in cybersecurity and are not responsible for tracking physical security incidents). Still, WaterISAC encourages participants to obtain incident information from others in their organization if possible.

WaterISAC’s surveys of incidents and suspicious activities occurring at water and wastewater facilities are an important tool in the industry’s efforts to protect itself. Completing the survey can take as little as a few minutes, and your time investment represents a valuable contribution to this vital industry effort. Plus, you will receive a copy of the completed report.

* Only WaterISAC staff will see your responses. Plus, as a private organization, WaterISAC is not subject to public disclosure laws.
