The goal of the ISA/IEC62443 Series is to improve Industrial Automation and Control System (IACS) using a risk-based, methodical, and complete process throughout the entire lifecycle, through the implementation of:
- Safety
- Integrity
- Availability
- Confidentiality
Without people who are sufficiently trained, without risk-appropriate technologies and adequate security measures, an IACS exponentially increases its vulnerability to a cyber-attack.
Recommended in-depth study:
The owner and developer of the ISASecure® Certification Scheme is the ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI), a non-profit corporation that sets rules and procedures that identifies the types of products and processes being assessed, identifies the specified requirements and provides the methodology to perform certification.
ISCI offers many certifications with different security assurance levels in alignment with ISA/IEC 62443.
- Component Security Assurance (CSA) Certification
- System Security Assurance (SSA) Certification
- Security Development Lifecycle Assurance (SDLA) Certification
- IIoT Component Security Assurance (ICSA) according to IEC 62443-4-2
- Automation and Control Systems Security Assurance (ACSSA) according to ISA/IEC 62443
Who issues the certification
While ISCI develops and maintains the Certification Scheme, it does not perform the certification itself.
This is done by an ISASecure® Certification Body, which is an organization that specializes in third-party conformity assessments. Certification bodies are accredited by an accreditation body based on the ISO/IEC 17065 standard, which addresses topics such as confidentiality and impartiality in the certification process.
ISASecure® Certificate issued by a Certification Body is globally recognized and demonstrates that the applicable ISA/IEC 62443 requirements have been met.
In the world, there are only a few ISASecure® accredited Certification Bodies, including our BYHON division.
