Securing NERC CIP Regulated Facilities 

Electrical grid reliability depends on NERC CIP-014 compliant security systems, and utilities are in excellent hands with Minuteman.

Over the last twenty years, we have secured more than 2,000 regulated sites in the power generation industry: generation and transmission sites, gas compression stations, electrical substations, office buildings, warehouses, support structures, and operations centers.

This experience is now institutionalized at Minuteman:

• Risk assessment & validation defines the scope of work.
• We conduct a Threat & Vulnerability Assessment (TVA) to sharpen the focus.
• Our internal training and development programs are tailored to meet NERC CIP requirements.
• Minuteman’s internal safety program is robust and can be extended to your specific needs.
• Local law enforcement coordination is part of every security program.
• We design and deliver SOCs which provide 24/7 monitoring and alarm management.
• We deliver thorough physical security plans, including as-built drawings and process maps.
• Minuteman itself is SOC2 Type 1 compliant.

When designing an integrated system, we draw on our expansive knowledge of the most suitable products for regulated sites. This includes system components for video surveillance, access control, perimeter detection, electronic key boxes, intercoms, personnel monitoring and protection, and license plate recognition.

Adherence to standards and compliance per site is absolutely vital. Utility clients are thus assigned a single point of contact from within Minuteman’s Program Management Office. That person coordinates all site installations and service, and handles billing, compliance, and documentation matters. they deliver consistency and full security program compliance across all your regulated sites.

Our Technical Services Group conducts cybersecurity assessments of your security systems, to align with NERC CIP standards.
