Note from Tom: Deloitte Advisory has offered this workshop to a number of
NERC entities in the past couple of months, and have found an excellent
reception for it. If you are interested in this, please get in touch with me.
Note that I can’t guarantee we can accommodate everybody in this offer, but I
would certainly like to have a conversation with you!
The compliance date for NERC CIP
version 5 is rapidly approaching. Most NERC entities have already put a lot of effort
into their CIP v5 compliance projects. But what is “compliance”? Because of the
many new complexities in v5 and the changing guidance from NERC and the
Regions, many – if not most – NERC entities still have substantial questions
about what the CIP v5 requirements and definitions mean. This is especially
true given the recent notice that FERC will be conducting some CIP v5 audits.
In addition, many NERC entities are
still struggling with questions on appropriate procedures and technologies for
compliance with the requirements of CIP version 5. There are perhaps many
possible ways to comply with one requirement, but which is the most efficient
for your organization? What have other entities done?
In order to help your organization
answer some of these questions and to
introduce you to our NERC CIP consulting services, Deloitte Advisory is
offering a free one-day on-site CIP version 5 “Quick Check.” Two senior individuals from Deloitte Advisory
will provide the Quick Check:
· Tom Alrich writes a popular blog on NERC CIP. In his blog, he has identified, and tried to resolve, many
interpretation issues in CIP v5. Tom will solicit beforehand a list of the
biggest interpretation issues your organization has come across regarding CIP
v5 and discuss his views on them - as well as discuss how other NERC entities
and Regional Entities view them. He will also discuss the “implicit
requirements” he has identified in CIP v5 and v6, and provide a written
document listing them.
· Dave Nowak is Project Manager for a
multi-year Deloitte Advisory project to help one of the largest NERC entities
come into full CIP v5 compliance. As Deloitte Advisory has been deeply involved
with implementing almost all of the CIP v5 compliance procedures and
technologies at this entity – and because Deloitte Advisory has permission from
the client to discuss these with other NERC entities – Dave can provide good
insight into how his client, as well as other Deloitte Advisory clients, is
complying with a particular requirement. He will solicit beforehand a list of
your organization’s questions on how other NERC entities are complying with
particular requirements.
If you would like to take advantage
of this free offer or have other questions, please email Tom at talrich@deloitte.com.
