Compliance Services
Program support, audit and enforcement defense, and the operational and engineering alignment that has to stand behind both.
NERC Compliance Program Support
The standing program work, built so it holds up when it's examined.
- Reliability and compliance advisory
- Program design and improvement
- Governance and program assessments
- Registration and applicability analysis, including BES Exception Requests
- Monthly evidence production
- RSAW narrative development
- Self-Certification preparation and strategy
- Annual compliance reviews
- CIP Medium Impact transitions and impact assessments
Audit & Enforcement Support
Regulator-side judgment applied to the program before the Region applies it to the entity. Support is non-advocacy.
- Audit preparation
- Regulator-perspective program reviews
- Notice of Penalty response and settlement posture
- Mitigation planning
- Self-Report and Self-Log development
Operational & Engineering Alignment
Grounded in real control-room and engineering experience — the technical record that stands behind the narrative.

- Protection and misoperations — PRC family
- Model validation — MOD-025, MOD-026, MOD-027, MOD-032, MOD-033
- IBR registration, model and dynamic-data submittal coordination
- Protection coordination studies and ride-through review — PRC-019, PRC-024, PRC-027
- Protection system maintenance program reviews — PRC-005
- One-line diagram protection reviews
- Extreme cold weather temperature analysis and trending
- Pre- and post-COD studies supporting GOP registration or deregistration
- SCADA, telemetry and control system compliance integration
- GO/TO interface engineering — FAC-003, FAC-008
Education & Executive Briefings
Training grounded in what auditors actually want to see, and where the common evidence gaps are.
- The published EC-WP whitepaper library
- Custom NERC and operations training
- Executive briefings for boards, plant managers, and site operations personnel
