NERC
Meeting NERC CIP’s
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) maintains comprehensive reliability standards that define requirements for planning and operating the bulk electric system. Among these are ten Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Cyber Security Standards, which specify a minimum set of controls and processes for power generation and transmission companies to follow to ensure the security of the North American power grid.
With SignaCert Integrity, you can quickly meet critical NERC requirements. More importably, Integrity enables you to easily stay continuously compliant (and more secure) by making unauthorized changes very visible. By only reporting on unknown or unauthorized changes, Integrity helps you know your systems are correct at all times-not just when the auditors arrive.
Integrity proves NERC compliance by assessing deployed systems against approved NERC references, detecting and reporting on any deviations. By generating an audit trail which proves that only approved and documented changes are being deployed to managed systems, Integrity dramatically reduces the cost of audits and provides continuous compliance.
Proving NERC compliance
- Verifying that systems are compliant with NERC standards
- Detecting and alerting when unauthorized changes are made to monitored systems
- Generating reports that demonstrate historical NERC compliance
