What standard previously focused on sabotage reporting requirements before being retired?

The correct choice, which indicates the standard that previously focused on sabotage reporting requirements, is CIP-001. This standard specifically addressed the need for identifying and reporting incidents of sabotage, as well as the requirement for entities to have processes in place to manage and report such incidents effectively. The emphasis on sabotage reporting was crucial for organizations to maintain the integrity and security of critical infrastructure, as it allowed for prompt response and mitigation of potential threats.

CIP-001 was designed to ensure that there are measures in place to report and respond to physical and cyber sabotage, promoting a proactive security culture in the industry. Although later revised or replaced by additional standards that integrated broader concepts of physical and cyber security, CIP-001 laid the groundwork for these processes.

While CIP-008 does cover incident reporting, it extends beyond just sabotage and includes a broader array of incidents related to critical infrastructure protection. EOP-004 focuses more on the energy emergency operation procedures and does not hone in on sabotage specifically. CIP-002 pertains to the classification of bulk electric system assets and has not been focused on incident reporting related to sabotage. Thus, CIP-001 remains significant in the context of sabotage reporting within the NERC CIP framework.
