What compliance do energy and utility companies need?
Energy and utility operators must meet NERC CIP standards for bulk electric system security, FERC oversight, and TSA security directives for pipelines, while securing OT/ICS alongside IT. Many align to IEC 62443 and NIST CSF / SP 800-82. Compyl maps one control library across all of them, spanning OT and IT.
How does Compyl help with NERC CIP compliance?
Compyl maps your controls to each NERC CIP standard, CIP-002 through CIP-015, and continuously collects evidence from your identity, monitoring, and OT systems. Evidence Health flags stale proof early, so a CIP audit is a formality instead of a scramble, and you reduce the risk of costly violations.
Can Compyl cover both OT and IT?
Yes. Compyl brings operational technology (OT/ICS) and corporate IT into one control library and evidence base, so the boundary between them stops being a compliance blind spot and you can prove security consistently across both.
Can one piece of evidence satisfy multiple grid mandates?
Yes. With cross-mapping, evidence of network segmentation can satisfy NERC CIP-005, IEC 62443 SR 5.1, TSA directive requirements, NIST CSF, and NIST 800-82 at once, collected once and counted everywhere it applies.
Does Compyl support CIP-013 supply-chain risk management?
Yes. Compyl tracks vendor risk assessments for ICS integrators, SCADA vendors, and other suppliers that touch critical systems, monitors them continuously, and quantifies exposure in dollars using the FAIR model.
When must utilities comply with NERC CIP-015 INSM?
FERC approved CIP-015-1 internal network security monitoring in Order 907, effective September 2, 2025. Compliance phases in over several years, starting with control centers, and NERC filed CIP-015-2 in June 2026 to extend monitoring to EACMS and PACS.
What does CIP-003-9 require and when?
Enforceable from April 1, 2026, CIP-003-9 requires entities with low-impact BES Cyber Systems to manage vendor electronic remote access, including the ability to determine and disable it and to detect known or suspected malicious communications.
What did FERC’s March 2026 CIP orders change?
On March 19, 2026, FERC approved 11 virtualization-ready CIP standards in Order 919, including CIP-013-3, and new low-impact authentication and detection controls in CIP-003-11 through Order 918. Compliance dates run to about 2028 and 2029.
What is CIRCIA and when will it apply?
The Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act will require covered entities to report substantial cyber incidents to CISA within 72 hours and ransom payments within 24 hours. CISA’s final rule has been delayed several times and was targeted for fall 2026, and reporting obligations start only once the final rule takes effect.
