Introduction to the European IACS components Cybersecurity Certification Framework (ICCF)

The principal goal of this report is to propose an initial set of common European requirements and broad guidelines that will help fostering IACS cybersecurity certification in Europe in a manner fully compatible with practices adopted beyond. It describes the IACS component Cybersecurity Certification Framework (ICCF) and its elements and makes suggestions for its governance, adoption and implementation. This report is not intended to be a standard, nor aims at the establishment of new ones, as this effort's focus is to perform and publish a feasibility study that could foster the certification of IACS components in Europe.
