Reference Summary

This guide maps Hyperport capabilities to NERC CIP-005-7 (R1-R3) and CIP-003-9 requirements for remote access governance in bulk electric system environments.

By routing interactive and vendor access through a single authenticated, policy-enforced gateway with immutable session records, Hyperport helps Responsible Entities improve control consistency and audit readiness.

Coverage focus

  • Electronic security perimeter and interactive remote access controls.
  • Multi-factor authentication and vendor session governance requirements.
  • Monitoring, logging, and audit evidence tied to CIP obligations.
  • Operational controls for medium- and low-impact BES cyber systems.

Operational value

The guide is built for utility security and compliance teams that need to align implementation controls with regulatory text while minimizing operational disruption across legacy and modern environments.
