ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
Your team is developing SCADA software that a North American transmission operator will use to control bulk electric system assets. To derive mandatory cybersecurity controls for this environment, which industry-specific standard should you consult first?
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) Safeguards Rule
North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP) standards
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records and signatures requirements
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP) standards define mandatory cybersecurity requirements for organizations that own or operate assets supporting the North American bulk electric system, including control centers and SCADA software. Therefore, they are the primary reference for security requirements in this scenario.
PCI DSS governs payment card data, not power grid operations.
GLBA addresses the protection of consumer financial information held by financial institutions.
FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulates electronic records and signatures for FDA-regulated products such as pharmaceuticals and medical devices. None of these other standards impose sector-specific controls on electric utility SCADA systems.
