Interpretation
− CIP-007-1, R2 —
Systems Security Management
Status:
The interpretation was approved by the
NERC Board of Trustees on November 5, 2009 and will be submitted to FERC
for approval.
Summary:
The request asks does the term "port" mean a physical (hardware) or a
logical (software) connection to a computer?
Interpretation Process:
In accordance with the Reliability Standards
Development Procedure, the interpretation must be posted for a 30-day
pre-ballot review, and then balloted.
There is no public comment period for an interpretation.
Balloting will be conducted following the same method used for
balloting standards.
If the interpretation is approved by its ballot pool, then the
interpretation will be appended to the standard and will become
effective when adopted by the NERC Board of Trustees and approved by the
applicable regulatory authorities. The interpretation will remain
appended to the standard until the standard is revised through the
normal standards development process.
When the standard is revised, the clarifications provided by the
interpretation will be incorporated into the revised standard.
