NERC Compliance Checks.
Automated.

Stop chasing documents and spreadsheets. data phleet's AI platform automates evidence collection, documentation, and reporting — so your team focuses on strategy, not paperwork.

Most tools coordinate compliance.
data phleet performs it.

Many products claim to "automate NERC compliance" — but when you look closer, they're coordination platforms: task trackers, document organizers, reminder systems. data phleet is fundamentally different. Our automation modules actually execute the compliance checks for you.

data phleet — Automated Compliance

data phleet goes beyond coordination by actually executing the work:

  • Automated NERC validation logic applied directly to your systems
  • System state analysis that produces compliance results
  • Machine-driven evidence collection
  • Automated report generation for audit-ready documentation
  • Human review and approval — not human execution

The outcome for your team:

  • Fewer manual processes and human errors
  • NERC checks completed in seconds, not hours
  • Faster audit preparation
  • Lower operational overhead
Helps you achieve compliance
Traditional GRC & Coordination Tools

These tools deliver value by organizing compliance work:

  • Scheduling compliance activities
  • Reminding teams when checks are due
  • Tracking completion status
  • Storing evidence and documents
  • Managing workflows across teams

But they don't actually perform compliance:

  • Rely on people to manually execute tasks
  • Rely on people to interpret results
  • Cannot analyze system state directly
  • Cannot generate compliance results automatically
Helps you manage compliance
Bottom line

data phleet isn't just telling you what to do — it's doing it. Where others coordinate compliance, we automate it.

Compliance is consuming your team

NERC compliance teams are buried in manual work that could — and should — be automated.

The data phleet way

  • AI automatically gathers and organizes compliance data
  • Intelligent documentation generated from your own systems
  • Automated reporting artifacts, always audit-ready
  • Real-time progress tracked across all NERC standards
  • Your team reviews and approves — not starts from scratch
  • Same standards. Same accountability. Far less effort.

The old way

  • Manual evidence collection across fragmented systems
  • Endless spreadsheet tracking and version confusion
  • Email threads that lose critical compliance artifacts
  • Manual comparison against NERC standard documents
  • Repetitive reporting cycles draining engineering time
  • Audit prep that takes weeks of concentrated effort

Why data phleet

Real NERC compliance challenges — sourced from across the industry — and how data phleet addresses each one.

Protection Systems

PRC-005 Is the Industry's Most Violated Standard

PRC-005-6 requires Transmission Owners, Generator Owners, and Distribution Providers to maintain documented Protection System Maintenance Programs (PSMPs) covering thousands of relays, breakers, and associated components — each with specific maintenance intervals. According to NERC's compliance data, PRC-005 consistently ranks as the single most violated Operations & Planning standard, accounting for over 100 instances of noncompliance in recent annual reporting periods alone. The volume and complexity of required testing intervals makes manual tracking error-prone and resource-intensive.

Source: NERC Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Program (CMEP) Annual Reports; NERC PRC-005-6

How data phleet helps

data phleet's dp: PRC-005 module automates the verification of protection system maintenance records directly — reading source data from your systems, checking component status against required intervals, and generating audit-ready compliance evidence. What typically takes engineers days of manual spreadsheet work is completed in seconds, with machine-generated documentation ready for NERC auditors.

Generator Protection

PRC-024 Violations: Too Much Data, Too Little Automation

PRC-024-3 requires generator owners to verify that frequency and voltage protection relay settings will not cause generators to trip during grid disturbances — a calculation-intensive process involving relay settings, manufacturer trip curves, and real-time system data. PRC-024 accounted for 74 noncompliances in a recent annual NERC reporting period, split evenly between R1 (frequency protection) and R2 (voltage protection). The core problem: the standard requires coordination of vast amounts of generator-specific data that most utilities still manage manually.

Source: NERC O&P Compliance Data; NERC PRC-024-3; data phleet industry-first PRC-024-3 automated pilot

How data phleet helps

data phleet's dp: PRC-024 module performs automated compliance checks against the standard's frequency and voltage ride-through requirements — reading relay settings and generator data directly from source systems, comparing against PRC-024-3 requirements, and flagging any settings that fall outside compliant ranges. The industry's first automated PRC-024-3 pilot was completed by data phleet.

Generator Protection

PRC-019 Coordination: A Multi-System, Manual Challenge

PRC-019-2 requires generator owners to coordinate the voltage regulating system capabilities, limiters, and protection settings of each generating unit to ensure they work together correctly. This involves analyzing AVR settings, limiter configurations, and protection relay coordination — often across dozens or hundreds of units. Each check requires pulling data from multiple engineering systems and performing detailed coordination studies that are time-consuming to document and easy to get wrong under time pressure.

Source: NERC PRC-019-2; TRC Companies NERC PRC Compliance Studies

How data phleet helps

data phleet's dp: PRC-019 module automates the coordination checks required by PRC-019-2, reading generating unit capability data and protection settings directly from source systems. The module validates coordination between voltage regulators, limiters, and protection systems and produces audit-ready compliance documentation — turning a multi-day manual study into an automated check completed in seconds.

Generator Protection

PRC-025 Loadability: Hidden Risk in Relay Settings

PRC-025-2 requires that generator protection relays — particularly loss-of-field and impedance relays — be set to avoid unnecessary tripping during stable power system conditions. Non-compliant relay settings can cause generators to trip during grid stress events, potentially cascading into wider outages. The challenge is that verifying PRC-025-2 compliance requires detailed power system analysis for each protected unit, and many utilities lack the internal engineering resources to perform these studies at scale and frequency.

Source: NERC PRC-025-2; data phleet 'PRC-025-2: The Hidden Risk in Generator Loadability Protection' (2026)

How data phleet helps

data phleet's dp: PRC-025 module performs automated relay loadability checks against PRC-025-2 requirements, analyzing impedance relay settings relative to generator capability curves and system conditions. The module identifies settings that create loadability risk and generates documentation that satisfies NERC audit requirements — without requiring manual engineering studies for every unit.

Asset Management

Inaccurate Asset Inventories Trigger Cascading Violations

Accurate identification and cataloguing of Bulk Electric System (BES) assets is foundational to NERC compliance — if your inventory is wrong, every standard that depends on it is potentially non-compliant. Facility ratings violations (FAC-008) have resulted in penalties including a $150,000 fine against Dominion Energy Virginia and a $96,000 penalty against Long Island Power Authority in recent years. Meanwhile, the rapid addition of distributed energy resources (DERs) is making asset inventories harder to maintain, with FERC's 2025 CIP audit findings citing entities operating over 1,700 MVA of DER capacity that was not properly categorized.

Source: NERC 2024 Enforcement Report; FERC FY2025 CIP Audit Lessons Learned; FAC-008-5

How data phleet helps

data phleet's dp: Inventory module provides AI-driven asset discovery and cataloguing specifically designed for the electric power industry. It reads directly from source systems to build and maintain an accurate, continuously updated inventory of BES assets — providing the reliable foundation that every other NERC compliance check depends on.

Cybersecurity

CIP-002 Misclassification Undermines Every CIP Control

CIP-002-5.1a requires utilities to correctly identify and categorize BES Cyber Systems by impact level — high, medium, or low. FERC's 2025 CIP audit findings found that multiple entities failed to include DERs and distribution-connected generation when determining control center impact ratings, resulting in misclassified systems and missing security controls. As FERC staff noted, 'Proper identification and categorization form the foundation of the Reliability Standards' — get CIP-002 wrong, and every downstream CIP control is built on a flawed foundation.

Source: FERC FY2025 CIP Audit Lessons Learned Report (October 2025); NERC CIP-002-5.1a

How data phleet helps

data phleet's dp: CIP-002 module automates the BES Cyber System identification and impact categorization process, reading asset data directly from source systems and applying CIP-002-5.1a criteria — including proper accounting for DERs and shared control environments. The result is a defensible, auditable categorization that satisfies FERC and NERC scrutiny.

Audit Readiness

Penalties Are Rising — And Auditors Are Getting Smarter

NERC's 2024 enforcement data shows a 20% increase in penalties year-over-year. The statutory maximum now stands at $1.54 million per day per violation — up from $1 million when the program launched in 2007. FY2025 FERC audits resulted in 63 findings of noncompliance and 260 recommendations for corrective action across just 10 audits. Critically, NERC auditors are trained to cross-check compliance evidence between interrelated standards — meaning a gap in one area can expose violations in others that teams didn't anticipate.

Source: NERC 2024 Enforcement Report; FERC FY2025 Enforcement Annual Report; TRC Companies NERC Compliance Analysis (2026)

How data phleet helps

data phleet's automated compliance modules produce consistent, machine-generated evidence for every check performed — not manually assembled spreadsheets that vary by engineer or time of year. Because checks run continuously rather than pre-audit, utilities maintain a genuine state of ongoing compliance rather than scrambling to reconstruct evidence when an audit notice arrives.

Grid Modernization

New Standards Are Coming Faster Than Teams Can Absorb

The NERC standards landscape is accelerating. In late 2024 alone, NERC's Board approved TPL-008-1 (extreme weather transmission planning) and CIP-015 (internal network security monitoring) is advancing through the standards process. FERC's September 2024 guidance added new CIP cybersecurity requirements. Each new or revised standard requires utilities to assess applicability, update compliance programs, and build new evidence workflows — all while maintaining compliance with existing standards. For teams already stretched thin, absorbing new standards manually is increasingly unsustainable.

Source: NERC TPL-008-1 (approved December 2024); NERC 2024–2026 Reliability Standards Development Plan; FERC September 2024 CIP Guidance

How data phleet helps

data phleet is built as an expandable automation platform — new compliance modules can be added as standards evolve without requiring teams to rebuild manual processes from scratch. As NERC standards change, data phleet's automation adapts, ensuring utilities can absorb new requirements without proportional increases in headcount or manual effort.
