DNV GL to conduct cybersecurity certifications under the global ISASecure® program
The ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI) announces that DNV GL - Digital Solutions has signed an agreement to conduct cybersecurity certification assessments as an ISO/IEC 17065 accredited ISASecure® certification body.
Industrial cybersecurity standards
The ISASecure certification program, developed within the International Society of Automation, certifies conformance to the ISA/IEC 62443 series of internationally adopted industrial cybersecurity standards. ISASecure assesses industrial automation and control products and systems to ensure they are robust against network attacks, free from known vulnerabilities, and meet the security capabilities defined in the ISA/IEC 62443 standards.
All ISASecure certifications are conducted by globally recognized ISO/IEC 17065 accredited certification bodies.
Through its agreement with the ISASecure program, DNV GL will become the third certification body within the ISASecure certification program in South East Asia. The ISASecure program — which currently has ISO/IEC 17065 accredited certification bodies in the US, Japan, Germany, and soon, Canada — is rapidly expanding its global reach through additional agreements with certification bodies around the globe who are in the accreditation process.
