SERC Assistance engagements are outside the scope of Compliance and provide an educational opportunity for registered entities to meet with SERC staff and others to discuss the Reliability Standards and possible compliance approaches in an open and non-audit environment. During the course of those discussions, representatives may provide guidance on specific approaches for implementing NERC Standards. Representatives, however, cannot guarantee compliance if those approaches are used, as compliance is necessarily dependent on the manner in which the guidance is implemented. Additionally, there may be other ways to comply with the obligations of the requirements of NERC Standards and circumstances and situations change. Lastly, to encourage an open exchange of information, representatives will not use the content from the engagement as a basis for a subsequent compliance or enforcement action(s).

The SERC Entity Assistance program is a training and education program at SERC that sits outside of Compliance. Its goal is to partner with entities to reduce risk. The program promotes successful management, development, and implementation of reliability and security enhancing activities through training, education, and targeted assistance.

TRUST
The SERC Assistance program plays an important role in helping to keep registered entities informed, educated, and enabled to maintain and enhance the reliability of the Bulk Electric System. Assistance allows SERC to interact on important issues and utilize the wealth of subject matter expertise available for the direct benefit of the entities. SERC Assistance is a targeted outreach program to directly aid registered entities where they need it the most.
Assistance is designed to maintain and promote a relationship of mutual trust with registered entities by establishing integral positions that clearly articulate and demonstrate value to program participants and the ERO Enterprise. SERC Entity Assistance was built separate from compliance with the purpose of providing guidance and coaching around security and reliability to registered entities by reducing or removing their exposure to risk. The goal is to work with our stakeholders to identify and prioritize risk so that we collaborate effectively to attack the highest priority risks first and then work our way down to lower risks as time and resources permit. We proactively work with our stakeholder to identify risks and communicate potential mitigating actions to take risk off the table. We have been working through the technical committees and outreach to provide training, work- shops, and information that promotes reliability. This effort is more targeted, focused, and tailored to the registered entity receiving the assistance on areas that we believe are high risk. We know that it will require us to build trust and show the value that we can add and are committed to promoting the SERC Company Vision of having a Secure and Reliable bulk power system.

The Assistance Industry Subject Matter Expert (AISME) program uses entity volunteers as supplemental assistance team members. An AISME is selected to participate in an Operations and Planning (O&P) or Critical Infrastructure and Protection (CIP) assistance based on back- ground, experience, and technical expertise. A volunteer may apply to become an AISME by completing the Entity Assistance Industry Subject Matter Expert Application. ENGAGEMENT
Tony Hall was the first AISME to participate on an Entity Engagement with SERC Staff. Here’s what he had to say.
“I was an AISME on this engagement and found it to be a two-way benefit. I was able to share my experiences with my program, learn SERC’s ideas and thoughts on the issue of discussion, as well as understand what another entity was doing on that topic. This is done at many events; however, that is normally just two entities discussing their programs. Having the third voice made this a very different event and expanded what I was able to gain.”

What Ren É Free had to say about the program. “The Entity Assistance visit with Santee Cooper was very beneficial. The team worked with us on setting the agenda to ensure that it met our needs. Our team consisted of Mike Hagee and Bill Peterson; and with their years of combined experience from an auditing and enforcement perspective, they were able to provide assistance with self-reporting, mitigation plans, and internal controls. They were very timely in getting back to us with any questions they were not able to answer while on-site. I recommend that
every company request an Entity Assistance site visit!”
Comments received from other registered entities following Assistance engagements.
“SERC is dedicated to helping member entities achieve reliability objectives.” “ . . . enjoyed meeting with the SERC EAP team and exploring the information and opportunities that this new program provides. As an entity interested in developing and maintaining a strong, successful NERC CIP compliance program, I feel that this program will be a useful tool in facilitating that goal.” “SERC Reliability Entity Assistance Program has proven to be an invaluable resource for team. The knowledge and expertise they provide, not only to those of us on our team with NERC-CIP knowledge, but also other personnel such as IT and Facility Management has been educational and informative. It was a pleasure speaking with the SERC Assistance Program Team!” Larry Snow, NERC-CIP Program Manager Cogentrix Energy Power Management
