(PRWEB) December 15, 2016 -- Join Corporate Risk Solutions, Inc. (CRSI) the week of January 9, 2017 in Kansas City for a 4½ day deep-dive into the NERC CIP Reliability Standards, low impact programs, and effective audit preparation. The CRSI Learning Academy – NERC CIP 101 class is designed to rapidly instill understanding and confidence for newer or inexperienced staff in NERC CIP through a series of real-world based simulated exercises, expert-led instruction, and peer discussion.

Leading executives and key decision makers have expressed that within the next three years, between 5% and 20% of critical NERC CIP skills and knowledge will be lost in the electric utility industry. Where does your organization sit today?
The CRSI Learning Academy – NERC CIP 101 class was created to enable organizations to build and maintain a sustainable compliance program.

Learning Outcomes include:

  • Understand the strengths and weaknesses of CIP program organizational structures
  • Understand the possible documentation structures that work and don’t work in CIP programs.
  • Understand the linkage between written procedure, evidence, and compliance.
  • Understand what constitutes good evidence of compliance and how to structure and retain it.
  • What the requirements say, both in the literal text and in additional sources such as auditor interpretations, NERC guidance, and informal industry practice.
  • The expected outputs from the program for the requirements.
  • Understand what is requested for the requirements in the standard NERC data request, and what exemplars look like.
  • Gain knowledge and insights into a variety of NERC CIP solutions and how they apply in different environments (large entity, small entity, control center, substation, generating station, etc.).
  • What the audit preparation playbook for the requirements looks like.
  • What (almost) never works, even though it’s been attempted before.
  • Understand the various ins and outs of building a sustainable program for compliance and a focus on requirements for low impact assets.
  • Receive an up-to-date status on current Standard Drafting Team activities.
