Compliance Document Management

Complying with the NERC CIP Reliability Standards – as well as with the other NERC standards – requires managing an extensive amount of documents and records.  Documents are often the sole evidence of compliance; their classification, security, retention and retrieval are critical, as prescribed by the NERC CIP Reliability Standards. Penalties could easily result from poor document management.

Rather than rush out to choose and implement a full document management system, we recommend walking before you run.  Encari’s consultants will first work with you to identify functional requirements aligned with the NERC CIP Reliability Standards and will help align or design your manual and automated processes to meet the necessary functional requirements.

If you do require an automated document management system, we can provide our vendor-neutral expertise to help you identify the best system for your needs.  And rather than implement new processes to fit the new system, we can help you leverage your existing processes to lower both the cost and the time required for implementation
