The ISA/IEC-62443 series of standards is developed on three main roles. These are (a) plant owner, (b) value-added service provider, and (c) component and system manufacturers. Each with different responsibilities, concerns, priorities and objectives.
Taking good decisions during a risk assessment
Many different methods are currently used to assess cyber risk in industrial systems. Only a few are a good decisions.
RMS – Risk Assessment Package
Generate, manage and access a collaborative environment for assessing the risk of industrial systems, by using a RAGAGEP methodology. Meet with all the requirements of the ISA/IEC-62443 series of standards, and complementary other popular regulations such as NIST and NERC. Analyze the risk of new future and/or existing systems while providing updated, accurate live information.
With RMS Assessment Package user can identify 100% of existing Cyber-Assets and clearly understand the Systems under Consideration (SuCs) by modeling the Zones and Conduit with ease. Analyze vulnerabilities and weaknesses in technology, processes, and physical security in all cyber-sensitive components.
Develop maturity studies, security audits, security breach assessments, and analyze your company’s practices against standards, global best practices, regulations, controls, requirements, laws, and compare the results with peers.
Develop the organization’s asset model, identify the potential consequences for each of all risk receivers based on the corporate industrial risk matrix, and perform high-level risk assessments to determine the initial and inherent risk associated to each node.
Develop detailed risk assessment optimally with RMS All-in-One without the need for additional tools, complying 100% with the requirements of the ISA/IEC-62443-3-2 series and determine the Security Level Target (SL-T). Make consistent and sound decisions that really mitigates the intolerable Industrial Cybersecurity Risk against all and any types of threats.
Automatic generation of all the required and necessary reports for compliance and certification and use the recommendations and results obtained by using a scientific Industrial Risk Assessment methodology to produce the requirements at the “DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION” Phase with consistency and precision.
Take Better Decisions
Take better informed decision by using the sound RAGAGEP methodology, fully compliant with ISA/IEC-62443-3-2 standards. With the RMS system, you would be required to use your own Operational Risk Matrix to take decisions consistently with other industrial risk disciplines. Decisions are based on deep understanding and knowledge from the plant.
Reduce Time and Cost
The RMS system, the WBS methodology and the training courses creates a big impact to the user, by reducing the risk assessment evaluation time.
Enforce Compliance – Get Certified
The RMS system enforce the system users to follow the WBS methodology. Activities must be executed in a specific sequences. If preceding activities are not finished and certified, the following activities won’t be able to start. The RMS system collects hundreds to thousands of evidence, keep them secure and protected for compliance purposes. The reports were designed to comply with ISA/IEC-62443 series of standards and other popular regulations.
Reduce Overhead Cost
The RMS covers the Industrial Cybersecurity Risk Management Requirements, producing the entire evidence and governance with easy. This reduces overhead costs in more than 60%. Concentrate in creating Value Added by avoiding losing time on complex administrative activities.
The highest Return On Investment
Take the best durable, lowest cost, and longer-term decisions that will last during the lifecycle of the controls systems and the plant. The lowest cost, the most durable, ensure that best ROI. Avoid spending in tasks, and buying products, which does not contribute to the reduction of risk. Dedicate valuable plant resources on efficient, effective and sufficient countermeasures.
Fully Document Methodology
The WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) methodology is fully documented and supported by the best training courses. We have packed thousands of security requirements and best practices in one methodology that supports ISA/IEC-62443 series of standards and popular regulations, such as NIST, NERC, C2M2, TSA, INGAA, and many more.
The Best Training Courses
The training courses had been created to be understood by everyone. The worse thing that can happen to a project is when every participant has a different idea about what needs to be done and how to do it. The convenient, exceptional training courses reduce the risk of project failures and reduce time.

Our security strategy ensures the protection of your most valuable assets. It shields all risk recipients by preventing cyber incidents. This is aimed at eliminating any possible impact on them. The result is a robust infrastructure that can withstand various threats. It’s designed to resist attacks that could compromise one or more cyber-assets.
Security By Design in Industrial Cybersecurity
Security by design is one of the most important and fundamental activities during the process of implementing cybersecurity in industrial systems.
1. What is industrial Cybersecurity?
Learn about the importance of securing industrial networks and the challenges in implementing effective cybersecurity measures within industrial environments.
Episode 2 Clip 6 – Mastering risk analysis and cybersecurity in industrial automation.
In this video, an industrial cybersecurity expert discusses the differences between various cybersecurity standards such as ISA/IEC-62443, NIST, and NERC, emphasizing the unique advantages of the ISA/IEC-62443 standards in effectively mitigating risks. The speaker highlights the substantial costs of government regulations funded by taxes and argues for the efficiency of ISA/IEC-62443. Drawing from over a decade of experience, the expert shares insights on the importance of robust design and how a cybersecurity-focused approach has reshaped their perspective on industrial automation.
Episode 2 Clip 5 – Avoiding typical errors when doing industrial risk assessments.
This clip emphasizes the critical need for proper risk assessment in IT practices, discusses common mistakes like skipping risk assessment, using the wrong methodology, and highlights the importance of a consequence-based approach for preventing incidents effectively.
Episode 2 Clip 4 – Understanding the importance of ISA/IEC-62443 series of standards.
In “Episode 2 Clip 4,” the speaker discusses the best methodologies for evaluating industrial cybersecurity risks, emphasizing adherence to the ISA/IEC-62443-3-2 standard. Key points include the need for a multidisciplinary, knowledge-based approach, the importance of integrating cybersecurity with other risk management disciplines, and the dangers of relying too heavily on IT-centric solutions. The clip stresses the necessity of long-term, rational decision-making within the plant and illustrates the risks associated with external dependencies, using the CrowdStrike incident as an example. The aim is to guide professionals toward effective and sustainable cybersecurity practices for critical infrastructures.
Episode 2 Clip 3 – The formula for calculating cyber risk.
The clip discusses the challenges of calculating industrial cybersecurity risk, emphasizing the importance of understanding and effectively implementing risk formulas, highlighting the role of system design in preventing cyber incidents, and stressing the significance of informed decision-making and proper investment in cybersecurity solutions.
