> CIP-015 Compliance Guide

EmberOT created this guide to help critical infrastructure teams translate CIP-015 Compliance from a regulatory requirement into an operationally realistic program.

The goal is not just to explain the standard, but to help compliance, security, and operations stakeholders understand what internal visibility, anomaly detection, evaluation workflows, and defensible monitoring data look like in practice for OT environments.

CIP-015 Compliance Guide

EmberOT created this guide to help critical infrastructure operators understand CIP-015 and prepare for the internal network security monitoring requirements ahead. The guide explains what the standard requires, why it matters operationally, and how teams can move toward readiness with clarity and confidence.

  • Clear explanation of CIP-015 Compliance requirements and timelines
  • Practical guidance for internal network security monitoring and anomaly evaluation
  • Key considerations for data retention and protection of monitoring evidence
  • Actionable steps for planning, documenting, and operationalizing compliance readiness

📋 CIP-015 Compliance
From Requirement to Readiness

CIP-015 requires more than simply collecting traffic data. Organizations need documented approaches for monitoring internal networks, detecting anomalous activity, evaluating findings for further action, retaining relevant data, and protecting that data from unauthorized deletion or modification. This guide breaks those expectations into practical steps teams can actually use.

Here’s a preview of some of the topics you’ll find in the CIP-015-1 Compliance Guide:

► How to understand scope, applicability, and timelines for CIP-015 Compliance

► What Requirement R1 means for monitoring, detection, and evaluation workflows

► What Requirement R2 expects for retention of anomalous monitoring data

► How Requirement R3 supports protection of monitoring data and audit defensibility
