Effective April 1, 2026, NERC CIP-003-9 mandated your responsibility for BES cyber systems. Any organization not fully in compliance by that date is now exposed to FERC penalties which can accumulate up to $1 million per day per violation. You and your team have likely prepared for this regulation. We encourage you to not only be compliant, but to also take steps to ensure all your assets (not just low-impact ones) are protected and optimized for maximum uptime. In this white paper, we outlined both the minimum actions you want to ensure were completed to avoid penalties and the suggested improvements that will help defend you from attacks while fortifying your organization with readiness to track, document, and react to any change in any asset, at any time.
Don’t wait for the next mandate – build real resilience now.
