A phased approach to NERC CIP 002-009 compliance

Electric grid operations are highly interdependent — a failure in any single transmission can affect an entire region. What’s more, the industry depends on the consistent and reliable availability of physical grid resources, integrated and scalable software and systems, and skilled knowledge workers. Volatility in sourcing, pricing, or quality of these market resources could have negative consequences for a utility company and its customers.

NERC CIP standards are designed to safeguard the industry and its customers against a variety of risks through vulnerability assessments, threat response strategies, disaster recovery planning, personnel screening and training, physical and cyber security controls, and other measures. Because of this complexity, those responsible for compliance should pursue a structured implementation methodology, which leads to a full understanding of all requirements, responsibilities and commitments – ensuring CIP compliance.
