Encari offers diverse consulting services to assist Responsible Entities through the complete cycle of compliance with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Reliability Standards.

Provided herein is a concise distillation of our prevalent service offerings. Rather than inundating you with voluminous information, our hope is one of our offerings highlighted below will overlap with an aspect of your current general information security or NERC CIP compliance needs and motivate you to pursue additional correspondence with us.

NERC CIP Pre-Audit Risk Assessment Services

As CIP compliance audits and spot checks approach, many electric utilities and other power market participants find it helpful to have an experienced NERC CIP compliance expert review their compliance documentation. Encari will review your documentation to confirm that it satisfies the measures used to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the NERC CIP Reliability Standards. Should we identify any areas of deficiency, we will provide suggestions for steps you can take to remediate the problems. Encari’s NERC CIP compliance specialists apply assessment techniques that are designed to meet FERC guidelines for reducing or eliminating penalties that may be imposed for non-compliance.

Public Information Monitoring Service (PIMS)

Encari’s Electric Utility Public Information Monitoring Service (PIMS) offering provides continuous monitoring of industry, cyber, and physical security events. The real-time service monitors unstructured content developed from governmental, industry, vendor, and independent electronic sources. The service provides an immediate view into current information to aid in preparing real-time responses and in determining appropriate strategic direction.

NERC CIP Assessment Remediation Services

Regardless of whether Encari or another consulting firm previously conducted a NERC CIP gap assessment, vulnerability assessment, or some other type of security risk / NERC CIP compliance assessment, the complete value of the assessment process is realized only after identified areas of risk and accompanying vulnerabilities have been addressed. Depending upon the scope of assessment conducted, compliance considerations involving any one or all nine of the NERC CIP Reliability Standards could apply. Encari provides assessment remediation consulting services to minimize the likelihood of security breaches, maximize the safety of your workforce and consumers, and help ensure ongoing compliance with the NERC CIP Reliability Standards.
