COMPLIANCE

Automate Compliance with the NERC CIP Standards — and Simplify Audits

The Nozomi Networks platform not only automates continuous compliance with the NERC CIP Reliability Standards but enables you to easily demonstrate compliance as a byproduct of normal operations, while leveraging your existing tech stack to minimize additional investment.

What Is NERC CIP?

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Reliability Standards are a set of requirements designed to support reliable operation of the Bulk Electric System (BES) Cyber Systems and protect it from cyber and physical security threats. NERC is certified by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) as the body that establishes and enforces these standards. 


The NERC CIP standards include many of the common practices in cybersecurity frameworks like NIST CSF 2.0 or IEC 62443. However, they are more prescriptive, and responsible entities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico are subject to fines for non-compliance.

What NERC CIP Requirements Does the Nozomi Networks Platform Support?

The Nozomi Networks platform covers or supports all active NERC-CIP Reliability Standards except the two focused on physical security. As an internal network security monitoring (INSM) system purpose-built for industrial and critical infrastructure environments — including power generation, transmission and distribution networks — our platform easily meets all requirements in the new CIP-015-1.
