NERC-CIP — Rego Policies for OPA

16 open-source Rego policies encoding NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection, CIP-002 to CIP-015. Apache 2.0, Rego v1, ready to load into OPA or Enterprise OPA.

What this is

16 Rego policy files encoding NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection, CIP-002 to CIP-015, part of the Rego Policy Libraries — a standalone, dependency-free collection of Open Policy Agent policies for published security and compliance standards. No orchestrator, no agent, no vendor runtime.

Load and query it

git clone https://github.com/ynotbhatc/rego_policy_libraries.git
opa eval -d rego_policy_libraries/frameworks/critical_infrastructure/nerc_cip -f pretty 'data'

Or load into a running OPA:

for f in rego_policy_libraries/frameworks/critical_infrastructure/nerc_cip/*.rego; do
  curl -X PUT --data-binary @"$f" "$OPA/v1/policies/$(basename $f .rego)"
done

Two ways to use these policies

Gating a change of state — evaluate a proposed action before it proceeds, and refuse it if it violates the standard. Measuring state — evaluate collected facts about an environment against the standard to produce compliance evidence. The same policy content serves both; only the integration differs.

Contributing

Test coverage is published in COVERAGE.md, and uncovered policies are the best first contribution — each is small, self-contained, and either passes opa test or does not. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
