Compliance Standards

Without the foundation of well-thought standards and procedures to protect your company, you are putting it at risk. For some companies, it can be difficult to figure out which standard is the best for them. Luckily the North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC) provides standards that help with exactly that. It helps you prepare for any possible cyber threat coming your way. And you do not have to struggle to understand what each standard asks of you.

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) is a non-profit international regulatory authority that monitors large electric power stations and ensures the safety of Bulk Electric System (BES) in America, Canada and parts of Mexico.

Given the increased sophistication of cybercriminals, it’s important to not only protect the physical assets of organizations, but also the data and information assets. A breach of any of these assets can have catastrophic effects on the safety of both IT infrastructure and human lives.
