CIP-008, CIP-010, and CIP-013 Compliance — Grid Security Exercise Platform
Validate your bulk electric system incident response plans with NERC CIP-aligned tabletop exercises. CyberICS Solutions delivers structured scenarios covering EMS compromise, substation RTU tampering, ICCP protocol exploitation, and supply chain vendor access attacks — all mapped to CIP-007 through CIP-013 and exportable as NERC-ready After Action Reports.
No account required · 3 scenarios free · NERC-ready AAR export included
Every exercise maps to specific NERC CIP reliability standards and their associated requirements for bulk electric system cybersecurity.
Five ready-to-run grid security exercises covering the most critical NERC CIP compliance domains. Each includes a facilitator guide, inject timeline, and AAR template.
Ransomware encrypts the Energy Management System historian and SCADA HMI workstations at a regional transmission operator. Teams activate the CIP-008 incident response plan, coordinate E-ISAC reporting, isolate BES Cyber Systems, and manage grid reliability while restoring operations from offline backups.
Field technicians discover anomalous behavior in substation RTUs across three distribution feeders. Forensic analysis reveals unauthorized firmware modifications. Teams execute integrity verification procedures per CIP-010, isolate affected devices, coordinate with equipment vendors, and restore configuration baselines.
An advanced threat actor exploits the ICCP inter-control center communications protocol to gain lateral movement from an ESP to BES Cyber Systems at a transmission operator. Teams identify the intrusion, apply CIP-005 Electronic Security Perimeter controls, and coordinate with neighboring utilities and NERC E-ISAC.
A software vendor with approved remote access to the EMS is compromised by a nation-state actor. The attacker uses the vendor VPN credentials to access BES Cyber Systems undetected for 11 days. Teams invoke CIP-013 supply chain risk procedures, revoke vendor access, assess BES impact, and notify NERC and regulatory authorities.
A disgruntled control room operator with authorized Physical Security Perimeter access deliberately misconfigures protective relay settings and disables SCADA alarm notifications ahead of a planned maintenance window. Teams detect the anomaly, invoke personnel risk procedures under CIP-004, preserve forensic evidence, and restore correct relay configurations.
No facilitation experience required. Our platform guides you through every phase of a CISA CTEP-format tabletop exercise.
