PORTLAND, OREGON – Acoem and Archer Energy Solutions, LLC today announced a strategic partnership to provide enhanced substation security and NERC CIP compliance solutions to help electric utilities improve physical security measures and comply with NERC standards, including CIP-014.

In response to the growing threat of ballistic attack damage to critical infrastructure, the partnership combines Archer’s expertise in NERC CIP physical security compliance and Acoem’s mastery of acoustic threats and physical security technology to provide electric utilities with greater visibility and helps revolutionize the landscape for gunshot detection in the United States.

Acoem has developed Acoustic Threat Detection technology, a military-proven solution for detecting real-time gunfire and explosions. The technology has been refined over 30 years and tested in multiple war theaters. “Gun violence is a growing concern in securing critical infrastructure, and now, more than ever, is the time to be proactive and be aware of threats as they happen,” says Mike Arnold,  Acoem’s Sales Manager.

Archer specializes in security assessments, identifying a utility’s latent risks, and testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. “We are creating a solid partnership to help companies and service providers stay updated with evolving security standards through risk-based physical security controls. Archer is excited to partner with Acoem to bring remarkable technology and value to our client’s physical security and compliance demands. At the same time, help guard against organized attacks”, adds Nick Weber, Archer’s Managing Partner.
