Achieving IEC 62443 Compliance in Industrial Cybersecurity Environments
As industrial systems grow more connected, complying with recognized cybersecurity standards like IEC 62443 is essential. This international standard provides a comprehensive framework to secure Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS), reduce operational risk, and align with global cybersecurity regulations.
How myorbik Supports IEC 62443 Compliance
Our SaaS platform, myorbik, helps product manufacturers and asset owners meet IEC 62443 requirements by:
- Monitoring component vulnerabilities across the supply chain.
- Supporting SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generation and validation.
- Providing audit-ready compliance reporting.
- Enabling secure-by-design product lifecycle tracking.
What is IEC 62443?
IEC 62443 is a family of standards developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to address cybersecurity across the entire lifecycle of industrial automation and control systems. It supports all stakeholders—asset owners, product manufacturers, system integrators, and service providers—in designing, implementing, and maintaining secure OT environments.

IEC 62443 Standard Structure
IEC 62443-1: Foundational Concepts
Introduces key terminology, the security model based on zones and conduits, and lifecycle principles that underpin the entire standard.
IEC 62443-2: Policies and Procedures
Focuses on organizational aspects such as governance, cybersecurity program development, and process maturity—primarily targeting asset owners and service providers.
IEC 62443-3: System-Level Requirements
Provides guidance for secure system design and integration, including risk-based architectures and system-wide security controls to ensure resilient industrial environments.
IEC 62443-4: Component-Level Requirements
Defines security requirements for individual products and components, emphasizing secure-by-design development practices and technical capabilities embedded in IACS devices.
The framework also establishes Security Levels (SL1 to SL4), allowing organizations to align cybersecurity controls with varying levels of attacker sophistication and operational risk.
