Electric utilities and critical infrastructure operators manage vital data that keeps the power grid safe and reliable. From power generation plants to regional utility companies, protecting computer systems and operational data is essential to preventing cyberattacks and maintaining electricity service.
When IT systems, storage devices, or network equipment reach end-of-life, they must be destroyed securely and in compliance with NERC CIP standards to protect the infrastructure millions of people depend on.
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards require utilities to securely dispose of devices containing sensitive operational data related to bulk electric systems (BES). Improper disposal can create security weaknesses that put critical infrastructure—and public safety—at risk.
Living Green Technology works with public utility companies across the country to provide NERC CIP-compliant data destruction services using certified shredding, degaussing, and wiping methods, then responsibly recycle equipment. Every service includes a Certificate of Destruction for audits and compliance records.
