Cybersecurity for Bulk Electric System Providers
A targeted program for energy organizations that need to evaluate NERC CIP exposure, strengthen operational cybersecurity, and align security documentation with regulated infrastructure expectations.
Energy-sector cybersecurity is operational, regulated, and high-consequence
Bulk Electric System providers and connected energy-sector organizations need cybersecurity programs that account for operational technology, vendor dependencies, access control, monitoring, and evidence discipline.
Even organizations outside direct NERC registration may need to address NERC CIP concepts because customers, partners, insurers, or DOE-related work expect comparable rigor.
- BES cyber system scoping and boundary questions
- Access control and change management evidence
- Vendor and remote-access risk
- Incident response and recovery obligations
How We Support NERC CIP and Energy Programs
The goal is a practical compliance program that leadership can understand, technical teams can execute, and external stakeholders can review without sorting through disconnected artifacts.
- Clarify whether NERC CIP applies directly or indirectly.
- Translate NERC and energy-sector expectations into actionable controls.
- Document access, monitoring, incident response, and recovery procedures.
- Prepare evidence packages for internal review, customer assurance, or audit support.
