At their first quarter meeting on March 21, 2018, the NERC Compliance and Certification Committee voted to approve EnergySec as a Pre-Qualified Organization. As a Pre-Qualified Organization, EnergySec is authorized to submit Compliance Implementation Guidance for ERO endorsement. This positions us to assist our membership in developing and documenting compliance approaches suitable for “endorsement” by the ERO, reducing uncertainty for complex CIP compliance topics.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Get Member Discount” style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”sky” size=”sm” align=”center”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1507927662479{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]
