Cybertrol Earns CSIA Recertification—What it Means for Your Operations

Cybertrol Engineering has earned its third successful CSIA (Control System Integrators Association) certification, following a rigorous third-party audit conducted by Exotek on August 18–19, 2025. In their published summary, Exotek highlighted Cybertrol’s operational maturity, leadership engagement, and continuous improvement mindset. This certification reinforces that our processes—from design to post-project support—are built to reduce risk, ensure performance, and support scalable operations.

“It’s not about a score—it’s about becoming a better business,” said Jack Barber, Certified CSIA Auditor at Exotek, “Cybertrol clearly demonstrates operational maturity, leadership buy-in, and a continuous improvement mindset.” 

Why CSIA Certification Matters

The CSIA audit evaluates far more than technical capability, it’s a comprehensive assessment of how a system integrator operates across all business and project domains. This includes strategic planning, financial management, project execution, human resources, cybersecurity, quality systems, sales and proposals, support delivery, and documentation practices.

For engineering and operations leaders in performance-critical industries, CSIA certification offers confidence that your integration partner is built for longevity, accountability, and scalability—without introducing risk to your operations.

What the Audit Covers—and Why It Matters

Cybertrol was evaluated across the following 10 core categories, which together define the operational strength and reliability of a system integrator:

1. General Management
   Assesses leadership structure, strategy, and governance—ensuring the company is built for long-term viability and accountability.
2. Human Resources Management
   Verifies that the organization attracts, develops, and retains qualified technical talent with proper safety and training practices.
3. Marketing, Business Development, Sales and Opportunity Management
   Confirms that sales processes are structured, solutions are properly qualified, and proposals align with client expectations and project goals.
4. Financial Management
   Validates sound fiscal practices, project accounting, insurance coverage, and risk management to protect both the integrator and the client.
5. Project Management
   Ensures disciplined execution across scope, schedule, procurement, and change control—minimizing delays and cost overruns.
6. System Development Lifecycle
   Evaluates how control systems are engineered, documented, tested, and deployed—with a focus on consistency and maintainability.
7. Supporting Activities
   Looks at standardized tools, templates, and workflows that enable consistent delivery and knowledge sharing across projects and teams.
8. Quality Management
   Assures a structured approach to continuous improvement, defect prevention, root cause analysis, and customer feedback.
9. Service and Support
   Confirms defined service processes for preventive maintenance and billable support—including clear escalation paths and client communication.
10. Information Systems Management and Cybersecurity
    Assesses the policies, infrastructure, and security practices that safeguard client data, networks, and project deliverables.

Cybertrol met or exceeded CSIA’s industry benchmarks in all audited categories. But more importantly, this audit confirmed that we operate with structured, documented, and repeatable processes—while preserving the responsiveness and flexibility our clients rely on.

“This audit wasn't just about passing a test,” said Jeff Reust, President of Cybertrol.
“It was a real testament to our incredible team and the strong foundation we've built together. I'm proud of the discipline, care, and continuous improvement mindset that defines our work—and the value we bring to our clients every day.”
