NERC CIP standards require registered entities to identify, categorize, and protect BES Cyber Systems. But traditional compliance approaches focus on known, inventoried assets inside the network perimeter. What about the assets you don’t know are internet-exposed?

ShiftSix’s outside-in approach discovers BES Cyber Assets that are internet-reachable—assets that may be missing from your CIP-002 categorization, violating your CIP-005 Electronic Security Perimeter, or failing CIP-007 system security requirements.

How ShiftSix Maps to NERC CIP

CIP-002

BES Cyber System Categorization

ShiftSix discovers internet-exposed BES Cyber Assets and associated Electronic Access Points that may not be included in your current CIP-002 categorization. Assets visible from the internet require re-evaluation of their impact rating.

CIP-005

Electronic Security Perimeter

External scanning identifies failures in Electronic Security Perimeter (ESP) boundaries—OT assets reachable from the internet indicate ESP gaps requiring immediate remediation.

CIP-007

System Security Management

Exposed devices are correlated with CISA KEV vulnerabilities, default credentials, and missing authentication—mapping directly to CIP-007 patch management and access control requirements.

CIP-010

Configuration Change Management

Continuous monitoring detects configuration drift that creates new external exposure, supporting CIP-010 baseline management and vulnerability assessment requirements.

CIP-015

Internal Network Security Monitoring

While CIP-015 focuses on internal monitoring, ShiftSix provides the complementary external perspective—identifying what internal monitoring misses because it sits outside the network boundary.
