Translate IEC 62443 principles into practical engineering actions

IEC 62443 addresses cybersecurity across the industrial automation and control-system lifecycle. It includes responsibilities for asset owners, service providers, system integrators and product suppliers. Kalman Control can assess selected areas of an industrial system against agreed IEC 62443 principles and client requirements. The result is a documented gap assessment and improvement roadmap, not an accredited certification.
