The DL₂C color-coded compliance system is a unique and innovative method of reading NERC compliance standards. The system eliminates confusion as it returns to the fundamentals of audit by the strict interpretation of compliance standards, and focuses on a results-based approach.

The results from this system yield hard, measureable numbers for your evidence, which provide long-awaited core metrics for your internal compliance program.

The DL₂C system has been used by NERC-registered entities as a framework which represents the complete set of evidence for NERC audit, mapped directly from the NERC standards.

NERC auditors have become increasingly aware of the DL₂C method, allowing them to more accurately evaluate the evidence presented by the NERC registered entity. Awareness on both sides of the audit puts the participants on the same page and eliminates the frustration of possible violations that come from unexpected questions the auditor may ask.

To sum it all up, the DL₂C color-coded system counts the exact number of elements which constitute a complete set of evidence requirement by requirement. The system quantifies the complete evidence submission for all standards, Reliability and CIP, as recently presented to NERC auditors who indicated an excellent comprehension of the method.
