Continuous NERC CIP evidence

GridShield

Collects read-only evidence from your OT and IT devices, hash-chains every record, and keeps RSAW worksheets current — inside your own network.

Command Center, site Nodes and optional Agents
Read-only Modbus TCP, DNP3, BACnet, SEL, SSH, WinRM, SNMP and more
Passive SPAN monitoring for write commands, new devices and GOOSE replay
SHA-256 hash-chained Evidence Vault
RSAW worksheets for all 14 FERC-approved CIP standards
Air-gapped install from a bootable ISO; updates install only when their GridSafe signature verifies

Works with: Sends high and critical alerts to CIPStart as CIP-008 incidents and CIP-015 anomalies; GridReport reads its compliance data.

Local AI drafting for CIPStart

DocPilot

An add-on that drafts CIP-003 and CIP-013 documents and checks existing documents for gaps — running on a local model, with a person approving every word.

Drafts 10 document types, including CIP-003 Attachment 1 sections and the CIP-013 supply-chain plan
Scans a document against a chosen standard and lists the gaps
Proposes text to close each gap; you accept or reject each addition
Runs on a local model — documents are not sent to an external AI service
An AI-drafted document cannot be approved without a completed human review

Works with: Part of CIPStart; uses your entity profile and site types.
