About this Framework

IEC 62443 is a multi-part international standard addressing cybersecurity for industrial automation and control systems (IACS) across all sectors — manufacturing, energy, water, oil & gas and critical infrastructure. It defines roles for Asset Owners, System Integrators and Product Suppliers with security levels (SL 1–4), covering security management systems, risk assessment, system security design and component security requirements. Widely mandated under the EU NIS2 Directive, referenced in NERC CIP and U.S. critical infrastructure frameworks.
