Electric Cooperative Achieves NERC CIP Compliance with OT Security Program
Coastal Electric Cooperative achieves full NERC CIP compliance with zero audit findings through comprehensive OT security program implementation.
The challenge
Coastal Electric Cooperative needed to achieve NERC CIP compliance for their medium-impact bulk electric system assets. Legacy SCADA systems lacked security controls, IT and OT networks were inappropriately connected, and the cooperative had no visibility into threats targeting operational technology.
NERC CIP compliance seemed overwhelming for a cooperative our size. Rubber Duck Technology found partners who understood both the regulatory requirements and the operational realities of keeping the lights on. We achieved compliance without sacrificing reliability.
The solution
Rubber Duck Technology designed a comprehensive OT security program addressing NERC CIP requirements while preserving operational reliability. The solution included network segmentation between IT and OT, continuous OT monitoring for threat detection, and secure remote access for vendor maintenance without exposing control systems.
The results
- Full NERC CIP compliance achieved
- Zero audit findings
- 100% visibility into OT network
- Secure vendor access established
- IT/OT segmentation completed without outages
