What is NERC CIP?

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards are a set of regulatory standards that address the security and safety of the cyber systems critical to the operation of the North American Bulk Electric System. These standards include requirements outlining the minimum controls and policies that must be implemented by asset owners and operators to address cyber asset identification, access control and monitoring, system management, information protection, incident identification and incident response. The overarching goal of the standards is the assurance of safe and reliable electric system operations.
