CIP Change Control Substations

78 CIP substations with 1,100 Critical Cyber Assets 16,000 work orders per year at CIP substations More than 100 change control forms processed

each year Opportunity for change control errors is large

Change Control Program continues to evolve

CIP Change Control Challenges

Manual change control process Rely on personnel to initiate change control for CIP substations Multiple departments required to fill out information

Depend on human performance for documentation Time Accuracy Completeness

Large number of people had access to CIP Substations Almost 25% were external parties (other utilities, contractors) Paring this list down

Training and awareness for all affected personnel on correct procedure

Page 17: Substation CIP Change Management Program · CIP Change Control Lessons Learned ... Configuration management Evaluate viability of additional testing facilities CIP Change Control

17

CIP Change Control Lessons Learned

Workflow automation is crucial when dealing with many touch points in CIP Substations Identify process handoffs and consider controls

Importance of ongoing training and awareness Employee turnover Contractors/Consultants Face-to-face is valuable with field resources

Implementing compliance ‘controls’ can help prevent and detect issues

Page 18: Substation CIP Change Management Program · CIP Change Control Lessons Learned ... Configuration management Evaluate viability of additional testing facilities CIP Change Control

18

CIP Change Control Controls Implemented

Established controls to help identify substation work requiring change control upfront Automated biweekly report to review new work orders Established process for checking CIP status on new substation

design projects Implemented manual security testing of access points Conduct bi-weekly change control meetings in each Operating

Company with Engineering, Operations and CIP Compliance groups Quarterly monitoring program Implemented tagging of disconnected device cables Installed access point “CIP notice” labels
