# Implementing NERC CIP Compliance Controls
## When to Use
- When a registered entity must achieve or maintain NERC CIP compliance for BES cyber systems
- When preparing for a NERC CIP compliance audit by the Regional Entity
- When implementing the 2025 CIP standard updates (CIP-003-9, CIP-005-7, CIP-010-4, CIP-013-2)
- When categorizing BES cyber systems after commissioning new generation, transmission, or control center assets
- When developing a compliance monitoring and evidence collection program
**Do not use** for non-BES industrial systems (see implementing-iec-62443-security-zones), for general IT compliance frameworks (see auditing-cloud-with-cis-benchmarks), or for physical security of substations without cyber components.
