NERC-CIP

Cybersecurity requirements for critical electrical infrastructure.

NERC-CIP (Critical Infrastructure Protection) is a mandatory set of cybersecurity standards designed to protect critical assets supporting the reliable operation of the electric grid, covering generation, transmission, and distribution environments.

Why is it relevant?

Non-compliance with NERC-CIP can result in significant regulatory penalties and operational risks. Proper implementation strengthens cyber resilience, reduces the likelihood of disruptive incidents, and ensures compliance with regulatory authorities.

Key control domains

Asset identification and impact classification.
Logical and physical access controls.
System security management and configuration baselines.
Change management and vulnerability handling.
Incident response, reporting, and recovery.
Evidence management and audit readiness.

Typical scope

Entities operating within the National Electric System (SEN), classified according to low, medium, or high impact levels.

Estimated implementation time

1 month for evidence collection and normalization, followed by 2 to 6 months of control implementation and remediation.
