Overview

What is IEC 62443?

Series of standards addressing cybersecurity for industrial automation and control systems (IACS), providing a framework for securing operational technology environments.

Who it applies to

Industrial and operational technology environments — manufacturing plant, utilities, process control — and the vendors supplying components into them. The concerns are availability and safety first, which is what separates it from IT security standards.

How the standard is organised

A multi-part series addressing different audiences separately: asset owners, system integrators and product suppliers, organised around zones, conduits and security levels.

Framework names, marks and abbreviations (ISO, SOC 2, PCI DSS, TISAX, HIPAA, GDPR and others) are trademarks of their respective standards bodies and are used here only to describe what the Bitkosh Compliance Management Platform helps you track and prepare for. The badges shown are original Bitkosh artwork, not the official marks. Bitkosh Technologies is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ISO, AICPA, the PCI Security Standards Council, ENX/VDA, or any other framework owner, and using this platform does not by itself confer or guarantee certification — certification/attestation is granted only by the relevant accredited third-party body.

On the platform

IEC 62443 on the Bitkosh platform

The 52 IEC 62443 controls sit in one workspace, evidence is collected from the systems you already run, and shared controls satisfy the equivalent requirement in the other 34 frameworks at the same time — so a second framework costs a fraction of the first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who publishes IEC 62443, and who does it apply to?

IEC 62443 is published by IEC, with the ISA99 committee. Industrial and operational technology environments — manufacturing plant, utilities, process control — and the vendors supplying components into them. The concerns are availability and safety first, which is what separates it from IT security standards.

How is IEC 62443 conformance demonstrated?

Certified by an accredited certification body. The certificate comes from a body accredited to issue it, which must stay independent of the organisation it audits — so no consultancy, ours included, can issue one.

How is IEC 62443 structured?

A multi-part series addressing different audiences separately: asset owners, system integrators and product suppliers, organised around zones, conduits and security levels. Bitkosh tracks 52 IEC 62443 controls against it, each with its own evidence requirements, owner and review cadence.
