RiskWatch International Expands Flagship Risk Assessment Software Solution to Address NERC CIP-14 Compliance
Sarasota, FL, September 26, 2014 (Newswire.com) - RiskWatch International, LLC., today announced the expansion of its flagship Risk Assessment Software Solution: SecureWatch to address NERC CIP-14 compliance for electric utilities. Like all RiskWatch International offerings, the NERC CIP-14 Compliance Assessment Solution is offered "in the cloud" using the Software as a Service (SaaS) model.
"In wake of the April 2013 attack on PG&E’s Metcalf substation in San Jose, California, FERC had made CIP-014 compliance mandatory for qualifying electric utilities. Our customers in the electric industry were already using SecureWatch for their physical security assessments and CIP-006 compliance with version 3 and 5. In order to enable our customers to effortlessly meet CIP-014 compliance, we made all the necessary changes in the software to conduct a threat and vulnerability assessment to meet R4 and an automated security plan to meet R5 requirements. This will significantly cut the costs to conduct assessments, document the evidences and generate the RSAW" Said Asim Chauhan, CEO of RiskWatch International.
