WorkForce Planning Associates, Inc. is dedicated to ensuring your organization achieves all of your goals relating to NERC CIP compliance. Through our CIP documentation improvement service, we identify numerous opportunities for process improvement within an established CIP Program and guide the implementation of these improvements.

Ensuring that all CIP policy and procedure documentation conforms to the NERC CIP Standards is an important foundation for the success of any Critical Infrastructure Protection training program.

Project Planning

During a documentation update project for your CIP Program, we thoroughly research the relevant subject, collect all required information, and work one-on-one with appropriate subject matter experts to develop and improve procedures for management approval.

Process Mapping

WFPA uses cross-functional diagrams while coordinating procedure review meetings with subject matter expert teams. These graphical representations of process step text are designed by our staff for each applicable procedure, and serve as exceptionally useful process improvement tools. For many engineers and compliance analysts, the graphic representation of complex procedure concepts proves both practical and effective in demonstrating the flow of a work process.

Project Support

Additional documentation support for your CIP Program includes implementing documentation formatting changes within each procedure to unify the layout of all of the documents and to ensure conformity among all CIP users.

Throughout the process of documentation development and improvement, WFPA maintains an exceptionally detailed historical record of revisions for all individual procedures as well as a portfolio of all up-to-date published CIP policy and procedure documentation.  These records can be archived with your CIP Program Manager to serve as a valuable supplement to all CIP policy and procedure updates in the future.
