Change volume
Substation automation and EMS changes happen weekly, and every one must be authorized and baselined.
For transmission
Medium impact programs, control centers and CIP-014, under one roof.
Transmission owners and operators run the deepest CIP programs: medium impact systems with External Routable Connectivity, control center links under CIP-012-2, and for some, CIP-014 station security. CIP Sentry connects all of it.
Transmission entities carry the heaviest CIP load and the most frequent change. CIP Sentry gives them one connected, auditable record of their program without moving sensitive BES Cyber System Information into someone else’s cloud.
The challenges we hear most
New and changing standards
CIP-012-2 in 2026, virtualization in 2028 and INSM from October 2028 all land on the same team.
Evidence at scale
Hundreds of assets, dozens of perimeters and thousands of evidence items.
How CIP Sentry helps
Built for how transmission & control centers actually work.
Change control that holds
Change forms authorized by each group's CAO (Cyber Asset Owner), baseline history per asset and 35-day monitoring for high impact systems.
Control Center Links
Document every link, its protection, availability and recovery methods, and shared responsibilities under CIP-012-2.
CIP-014 case management
Risk assessments, third-party verification, TOP notification, security plans and reviews on chained deadlines.
INSM program ready
Plan CIP-015 now with the Network Monitoring module, scoped from your existing ESP records.

Questions from transmission & control centers
Does CIP Sentry collect configuration data from devices?
CIP Sentry is the compliance program workspace: baselines, authorizations, clocks, plans and evidence. It works alongside the OT tools you may already use for configuration monitoring or INSM, which produce technical evidence you can store against the right requirement.
Can it handle high impact control centers?
Yes. High impact parts such as 35-day baseline monitoring, 15-day log review sampling and 36-month operational recovery exercises are tracked as their own clocks.
