The short version
What is the NERC CIP-014 Risk Assessment Toolkit?
The NERC CIP-014 Risk Assessment Toolkit is a free, self-guided resource for transmission owners and operators working through CIP-014, the standard that requires physical protection of Transmission stations, substations, and primary control centers whose loss could cause instability or cascading outages. It follows the structure of the standard: identify critical facilities in the R1 risk assessment, evaluate threats and vulnerabilities under R4, and document a physical security plan under R5 built around deter, detect, delay, assess, communicate, and respond, with the R2 and R6 unaffiliated third-party reviews tracked alongside.
