Free NERC CIP Compliance Checklist

Is Your Utility Actually NERC CIP Compliant — Or Just Hoping So?

 

Most utilities find out they have compliance gaps during an audit. Don't be one of them.

 

EPG Solutions has condensed 25+ years of hands-on NERC CIP audit experience into one actionable checklist — covering the 12 most-cited standards where utilities fail. Download it free and know exactly where you stand before the auditors arrive.

 

What's Inside the Checklist:

 

✅ CIP-002 — BES Cyber System Identification (are your assets correctly categorized?)

✅ CIP-003 — Security Management Controls (do your policies cover all required elements?)

✅ CIP-005 — Electronic Security Perimeters (are all access points documented and controlled?)

✅ CIP-006 — Physical Security of BES Cyber Systems (are your physical controls audit-ready?)

✅ CIP-007 — System Security Management (patches, ports, and account management)

✅ CIP-010 — Configuration Change Management (are baselines documented and monitored?)

✅ CIP-011 — Information Protection (how is sensitive data handled and stored?)

✅ CIP-013 — Supply Chain Risk Management (the #1 emerging area of audit focus)

✅ Evidence documentation requirements for each standard

✅ Common audit failure points and how to close them before your review

✅ Internal audit readiness self-assessment scoring guide

✅ 30-day remediation priority roadmap

 

Who This Is For:

 

This checklist is built for compliance managers, operations directors, and IT/OT security leads at electric utilities, co-ops, and municipal power systems who need a fast, reliable way to assess their NERC CIP posture — without hiring a consultant.
