Industrial control systems

Certifications & Standards

The main international frameworks, mastered and applied.

Our Expertise in Standards and Frameworks

Our expertise allows you to navigate confidently through the complex landscape of standards and regulations. We guide our clients in understanding, implementing, and obtaining certifications according to these standards.

IEC 62443

The IEC 62443 standard is the international reference standard for securing industrial control systems (ICS) and industrial automation and control systems (IACS).

Key Components

  • IEC 62443-1: General concepts and models
  • IEC 62443-2: Policies and procedures
  • IEC 62443-3: System security
  • IEC 62443-4: Component security

Our expertise covers all parts of the standard, allowing comprehensive support for asset owners, integrators, and component suppliers.

IEC 62443 Benefits

  • Internationally recognized security standard
  • Comprehensive approach covering people, processes, and technology
  • Adaptable to different industrial sectors
  • Risk-based approach to security
  • Facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements

NIS2 Directive

The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security 2) is the European regulatory framework that strengthens cybersecurity requirements for critical and important entities.

Key Points

  • Expansion of scope to new sectors
  • Strengthening of security obligations
  • Increased management responsibility
  • More severe penalties for non-compliance

We help you determine if your organization is affected by NIS2 and implement the necessary measures to comply with this directive.

NIS2 Directive Benefits

  • Harmonized cybersecurity standards across the EU
  • Improved incident reporting and information sharing
  • Enhanced cooperation between member states
  • Increased resilience of critical infrastructure
  • Reduced risk of cyberattacks and data breaches

Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)

The Cyber Resilience Act is a new European regulation aimed at ensuring that digital products placed on the EU market meet essential cybersecurity requirements.

Implications

  • "Security by design" requirements for connected products
  • Obligation for support and security updates
  • Conformity assessment before market placement
  • Security incident notification

We support manufacturers and distributors of digital products in their compliance with the CRA, particularly for industrial components.

Cyber Resilience Act Benefits

  • Increased security of digital products
  • Reduced vulnerability to cyberattacks
  • Improved consumer trust in digital products
  • Harmonized cybersecurity standards across the EU
  • Reduced costs associated with security incidents

Machinery Regulation

Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 replaces the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and becomes mandatory on 20 January 2027. For the first time, machinery placed on the European market must answer for its cybersecurity, not only for its mechanical safety.

Implications

  • Protection of control systems against corruption and unauthorised modification
  • Integrity and traceability of safety-related software
  • Connected and autonomous machinery brought into the scope of the text
  • Substantial modifications place the integrator in the position of manufacturer

We support machine builders, integrators and operators in demonstrating this cybersecurity conformity, building on IEC 62443 — the reference framework for the security of industrial control systems.

Prepare for 20 January 2027

Who Is Concerned

  • Machine builders placing products on the European market
  • Integrators carrying out substantial modifications to existing machinery
  • Operators responsible for keeping their machine fleet compliant
  • Suppliers of components integrated into safety functions
  • Manufacturers already engaged in a Cyber Resilience Act approach, whose scopes overlap

ISO 27001

The ISO 27001 standard defines the requirements for establishing an effective information security management system (ISMS).

Benefits

  • Systematic approach to security risk management
  • Continuous improvement of security posture
  • Demonstration of compliance to customers and partners
  • Integration with other management standards

Our expertise in ISO 27001 complements our approach to industrial cybersecurity, allowing seamless integration with OT-specific standards like IEC 62443.

ISO 27001 Benefits

  • Improved information security posture
  • Reduced risk of data breaches and cyberattacks
  • Enhanced compliance with legal and regulatory requirements
  • Increased customer and stakeholder trust
  • Competitive advantage and business growth
