Ensure Compliance with NRC Regulations

Nuclear power is one of the most tightly regulated industries in the United States. Our consultants maintain detailed knowledge of applicable cyber security regulations and guidance to help your organization meet Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements.

Ensure Compliance with Regulations and Guidance

Our consultants have direct experience with both developing and interpreting NRC regulations and guidance. Our extensive familiarity with both NRC guidance (e.g., RG 5.71: Cyber Security Program for Nuclear Facilities, RG 5.83: Cyber Security Event Notifications) and NEI Guidance (NEI 08-09: Cyber Security Plan for Nuclear Power Reactors, NEI 13-10: Cyber Security Control Assessments) enable us to ensure that your organization can demonstrate its compliance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements.

Security Control Recommendations and Assessments

As a tightly regulated entity, it's not enough to be secure - you must be able to justify the implementation of your security controls to the NRC. Our expert consultants can work directly with your staff to ensure that the security controls implemented for each critical digital asset are aligned with the applicable NRC/NEI guidance, and are adequately justified and documented in preparation for NRC inspections. Our consultants can also assist your organization in determining appropriate alternate controls to protect critical digital assets, in cases where the specific control recommended by NRC/NEI guidance could adversely impact operations.

Preparation for Inspections

Our consultants have first-hand experience with the development and implementation of NRC regulatory and inspection practices, and can provide direct support to your organization during NRC inspections. This includes preparation activities (e.g., self-assessments and document reviews), working with your organization's staff to brief them on NRC inspection procedures, and directly engaging inspectors to address their observations and potential findings. Our detailed knowledge of NRC inspection procedures and practices will enable us to minimize NRC inspection findings.
