”I wanted to pass along my compliments and a huge appreciation shout-out for your team's effort to get our “CIP Compliance Management” over the finish line. Establishing Archer as an approved CIP repository was a goal for my team and you were available to address any concerns with establishing “CIP Orders” and working with my team and IT to ensure the data was imported correctly (i.e.; due dates) into “CIP Compliance Management.” You’ve also been very helpful with validating our access matrix and ensuring our employees are set up correctly in the Archer user groups. Thanks again for the support!

”I had to write to share that Angelo has been an extremely valuable and indispensable player in our Archer enhancement project. We always know we’re in good hands when we work with Karta.

”Things are going really well with Jonathan and Alex! They are both so capable and responsive to our requests and are providing excellent advice and expertise. As an example, they’ve developed a kick-butt solution for a risk register pilot with one of our city departments. Next, we’ll present it to the enterprise risk management team and I’m confident they will be as impressed as I am.

”I typically do not like to give "exceptional" ratings across the board. However, our experience with Karta has been exceptional in every way. We are working on configurating the NERC Compliance Management Solution in our Archer GRC system, and the Karta team has been professional, knowledgeable and accommodating.

”Today will be my last full day working. Tomorrow I turn in my badge. I started my first full time job after college in April 1980. I am fortunate to have had a great career and now it’s time to disconnect and enjoy life. During that time there were only a handful of instances when I got to work with a stellar group of people like all of you. It made my time here so much more productive and enjoyable. I wish you all the best! If you ever get down to Georgia, please contact me!

Which NERC standards does your software support?
Karta will provide you the full list of NERC standards, including operations & planning (O&P) standards and CIP (critical infrastructure protection) standards. You are able to quickly filter the standards by your various functional entities and only act upon those that apply. The Karta NERC compliance software also includes mechanisms to track applicability, retirement, and horizon changes — so you stay current as the standards evolve.
How quickly can we implement the software and start seeing value?
Our solution is pre-built for NERC compliance—if you install the solution with no personalizations, you can be live in a matter of days. We have had clients deploy with more tailored approvals, reports, etc. in as little as 60 days. Implementation time typically varies based on the utility’s data readiness, number of entities/assets, integration requirements, and decision-making time. Benefits start accruing as soon as you begin using the pre-configured workflows for evidence request, standards tracking and audit documentation.
Does the software integrate with our existing systems (asset inventory, CMMS, vulnerability tools)?
Yes. Our NERC Compliance Software is built on GRC platforms with API capabilities to common utility systems (e.g., asset management, CMMS, vulnerability scanning/etc.). For example, when your asset inventory updates, the compliance platform can automatically map assets to applicable standards, evidence requests or tasks. This automation reduces manual effort, improves accuracy, and shortens audit preparation time. API engagements can be scoped and delivered upon request.
How does the software help with audit readiness and evidence management?
The heart of the software is a virtual evidence repository with tracking for evidence requests, upload status, review/approval workflows, audit trail logging, and linkage to standards and entities/assets. You get dashboards showing outstanding evidence requests, overdue items, audit-history, mitigation actions, and upcoming expirations — all of which positions you proactively for audit and self-reporting.
Is the software SaaS or on-premises? What about security and compliance?
Our solution can be deployed in both the SaaS and on-premise options for the GRC platforms upon which it is built, depending on your organizational requirements (data sovereignty, IT policies, cloud tolerance). Our SaaS option comes with encryption, role-based access controls, segregation of environments (DEV/TEST/PROD), logging and auditing, and we support client onboarding/access controls consistent with industry best practices.
What kind of training and support do you provide?
We provide live and recorded super user and end user training (as desired), testing scripts, documentation, user guides, and our subscription-based ongoing support.
How does the Karta NERC Compliance Solution assist with the management of deadlines, milestones, and action items?
For workflow processes within the system, reminder notifications alert individuals when assigned tasks are created and as they approach the due date. For items that pass the due date, escalation individuals can be sent to listed individuals to ensure attention is focused on critical actions. Beyond notifications, the solution includes graphical dashboards that highlight items approaching (and passing) due dates so leadership can have a single location for managing responsibilities.
