What does CIP-011 R2 primarily focus on?

CIP-011 R2 is focused on the documentation of the processes involved in the reuse and disposal of information and information systems that are associated with critical infrastructure. This requirement ensures that utilities and other entities handling sensitive information establish clear protocols for managing data securely throughout its lifecycle. Proper documentation is crucial in preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, and safeguarding information security during both the reuse and disposal phases.

While other areas like employee cybersecurity training or performance evaluations are important aspects of a broader cybersecurity strategy, they fall under different requirements or standards within the NERC CIP framework. CIP-011 specifically targets how information is managed, reused, and securely disposed of, making the focus on documentation crucial to maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of critical information.
