NERC CIP — Critical Infrastructure Protection Reliability Standards (North American bulk electric system)

# NERC CIP — Critical Infrastructure Protection Reliability Standards (North American bulk electric system) — 40% of in-scope requirements covered.

5 requirements · 5 in scope (3 designed · 2 advisory). The 40% is weighted over the in-scope base.

**Source:** NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) reliability standards governing cyber security of the North American bulk electric system (BES Cyber Systems). KYE™ governs the authority, evidence and finality of an AI-recommended physical-safety action on grid/power assets and the scope boundary of the AI's authority; KYE™ does not replace the registered entity's CIP compliance program. Starter requirement set (Wave-Ralph-Industrial); deepen by graft. · **License:** NERC standards are public; KYE™ registry cites the standard + requirement identifier for mapping purposes.
