RSAW and evidence preparation and presentation will also be discussed.

This course may be taken as a stand-alone course or as part of our C3P credential which signifies competence in all aspects of managing compliance with the NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards.To learn more or to register for the credential, visit our website, energysec.org, in the Events tab.
