The PKI service is governed by a framework that ensures its secure and coordinated implementation:

• Detailed Design Document: The service operates in strict adherence to the practices outlined in this detailed design document and any processes it references.
• Policy Steering Committee: This committee plays a vital role in guiding the development of the policy framework, with a strong emphasis on alignment with the National Energy Public Key Infrastructure (NEPKI). It includes representatives from SwitchDin, DigiCert, participating DNSPs, OEMs, and other stakeholders to ensure interoperability, security, and consistency across the broader energy ecosystem. Significant security issues, such as a compromised OEM MICA, are reported immediately, while other issues are discussed during regular steering committee meetings.
• OEM Requirements: Upon registration, OEMs are required to sign a set of Certificate Practice Requirements, which detail their obligations for operating within the PKI.
