Cloud providers are wasting their time pursuing NERC CIP
I completely agree with Tom Alrich, an industry expert on NERC CIP-013-1 Supply Chain standards, that cloud providers are wasting their time pushing for Bulk Electric System entities under NERC jurisdiction to use the cloud infrastructure for NERC CIP compliance.
I do see a supporting role for cloud services to assist an entity with implementation of their NERC CIP Supply Chain controls, but it's not what the cloud providers are suggesting in the AWS report that Tom identifies.

Don't look for Medium and High impact BES Cyber Systems to be "legal" in the cloud under CIP anytime soon.
