Salt River Project (SRP) has selected the SAFE for Energy Facilities software suite for its physical identity, access and compliance management, including audit, attestation, remediation and compliance for relevant NERC CIP regulations.
The SAFE for Energy Facilities solution automates the compliance of key NERC standards CIP 004-3 through CIP 006-3, including specific controls related to authorized unescorted physical access to critical cyber assets and the automation of access revocation due to cert expiration or employment termination in near real time across the entire physical access environment based upon NERC policies and rules. These controls also cover issues such as background checks, training, the trending of alarm events and enterprise-wide reporting.
"As with most critical infrastructure organizations, compliance and reporting are a very important part or our security efforts. It is our hope that the Quantum Secure SAFE for Energy Facilities solution will not only make our compliance and reporting easier, but also provide a major step forward in streamlining our security efforts," said Jay Spradling, security manager, SRP.
"Our SAFE for Energy Facilities solution is a major step forward in the energy space. As a chosen technology by several critical nuclear and non-nuclear labs of the U.S. Department of Energy, along with our other commercial energy customers engaged in production and distribution of gas and electricity, we are enabling utility companies and nuclear sites to systematically and cost-effectively improve their compliance and risk management posture," said Ajay Jain, President & CEO, Quantum Secure.
