E-ISAC – Electricity Information Sharing & Analysis Center
The E-ISAC, as administered through NERC, assists the electric industry with the identification and information sharing of cyber and physical security issues and works with other branches of government to compile data on events and situations. As a part of those duties, E-ISAC had developed a Cyber Risk Preparedness Assessment tool based upon DOE’s C2M2 assessment model. Utility Services is authorized to deliver and conduct the CRPA tool within the electric industry.
The CRPA allows industry participants to identify and assess an entity’s readiness or preparedness for cyber and physical events. It is conducted as a table top exercise and gives companies the opportunity to be challenged and examined in a test environment. As a follow up to the exercise, the company receives a documented report outlining the entity’s performance, potential weaknesses, and recommends possible corrective action steps.
