Regulation is moving from resilience policy to operational requirement.
Europe's critical-infrastructure framework increasingly expects operators and authorities to understand risk, maintain situational awareness, detect threats, coordinate incidents and demonstrate how they responded.
Sondra is designed to provide the intelligence layer supporting those requirements.
The framework
Policy, applied to submarine infrastructure, translated into operational measures.
- 01
CER + NIS2
Baseline resilience, risk-management and incident obligations.
- 02
EU Action Plan on Cable Security
Prevention → Detection → Response & Recovery → Deterrence.
- 03
EU Cable Security Toolbox
Operational measures for monitoring, detection, coordination and response.
- 04
Sondra
Continuous subsea infrastructure intelligence.
What each framework asks for
CER
All-hazard resilience
Understand critical assets, dependencies, vulnerabilities and operational risks. Sondra provides intelligence supporting continuous resilience assessment, incident response and recovery.
NIS2
Incident intelligence
Support risk management, incident handling, business continuity and the evidence required for time-sensitive incident reporting.
EU Cable Action Plan
The full resilience cycle
Support prevention, detection, response, recovery and attribution-led deterrence around critical submarine infrastructure.
TM03
Monitoring, surveillance & detection
Fuse maritime, vessel, satellite, sensor, environmental and operator data to identify activity and anomalies around critical subsea infrastructure.
SM06
Coordination & information sharing
Enable operators, authorities and security stakeholders to work from a common operational picture while controlling access to sensitive information.

Sondra supports the operational requirements reflected in these frameworks. It is a decision-support and evidence platform: it does not provide legal advice, certify compliance, or supply physical hardening or repair capacity.
