Lean staffing
CIP often shares a desk with IT, SCADA or safety, so deadlines compete with operational work.
For cooperatives
CIP compliance for co-ops, run by one or two people with confidence.
Distribution co-ops with UFLS or protection system obligations and G&Ts with generation and transmission assets both face the same reality: a demanding program and a lean team. CIP Sentry keeps every deadline and every piece of evidence in one place.
Cooperatives are built on member ownership and careful spending. CIP Sentry gives co-op compliance teams an organized, auditable program on their own infrastructure, without the implementation projects and consulting hours that enterprise GRC tools require.
The challenges we hear most
Multiple sites
Substations, generation and a control center, each with its own perimeters, logs and tests.
Member accountability
Boards want assurance that the program is working without a huge consulting bill.

Questions from electric cooperatives
Can a G&T run CIP Sentry for several members?
Talk to us about your structure. Pricing and deployment can reflect shared-service arrangements where a G&T supports member cooperatives.
Do you work with our CIP consultant?
Yes. Many co-ops use consultants for audits and assessments. CIP Sentry gives them a clean, structured program to work from instead of a folder of spreadsheets.
