In this episode of Direct Connect, Stacy Bresler, Leonard Chamberlin and Steve Parker, Managing Partners at Archer, break down one of the most common (and dangerous) traps in NERC CIP and regulatory compliance: obsessing over your last audit.

Auditors change. Risks change. Rules change. Teams change. So why are so many utilities still anchored to what happened 3+ years ago?

From shifting threat environments to controls-focused audits, internal controls, and what it really means to be secure vs. simply “passing,” this conversation hits the heart of modern compliance.

👉 If you want to be ready for your next audit, this episode is a must-watch.
