About NERC CIP

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) is a nonprofit international regulatory authority tasked with ensuring the reliability and security of North America's bulk power system, including the United States, Canada, and part of Baja California in Mexico.

NERC develops, enforces, and monitors reliability standards, and educates, trains, and certifies industry personnel. The Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards, a key component of NERC’s regulations, are designed to secure essential cyber assets of the bulk electric system. These standards mandate specific security management controls, system security management, information protection, and vulnerability assessments for utilities and other entities within the bulk power system.
