About this event

A live 30-minute expert session on Mapping 62443 to NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act (IEC 62443 — Industrial Cybersecurity). What We'll Cover: What NIS2 and the CRA demand of operators and product makers and where 62443 sits as the presumed technical route The mapping step by step: NIS2 risk management measures to CSMS elements, CRA essential requirements to 4-1/4-2 practices How the mapping produces a combined compliance matrix and gap register across regulation and standard Common mistakes: assuming 62443 certification equals legal compliance, missing NIS2 reporting timelines, ignoring CRA vulnerability handling duties The evidence regulators and auditors will expect: the mapping document, incident reporting procedures and product vulnerability disclosure records Related topics: nis2 · cyber resilience act · eu regulation · compliance mapping · essential entities · cra essential requirements · regulatory gap analysis · incident reporting · vulnerability disclosure · harmonised standards · legal compliance ot · 62443 and nis2 Critical Systems Analysis provides embedded functional safety consulting for IEC 62443 — Industrial Cybersecurity.

About Functional Safety Foundations

This online session delivers expert-led instruction on the regulatory landscape and implementation approach for Functional Safety Foundations.

The cross-sector fundamentals underlying every functional safety standard: risk as severity × likelihood, the safety function concept, integrity levels, the safety lifecycle, and the split between random and systematic failures.

What it regulates

Shared vocabulary and reasoning: hazard → risk → risk reduction allocation → safety requirement → verified implementation → maintained integrity in operation.

Who must comply

Everyone entering the field — the conceptual base of the entire catalog.

Key requirements of Functional Safety Foundations

  • Hazard and risk fundamentals
  • Safety function anatomy: sensor-logic-actuator with defined safe state
  • Integrity ladders (SIL/PL/ASIL/DAL) as risk-reduction currencies
  • Random vs systematic failure treatment
  • Lifecycle and management of functional safety incl. competence

Key concepts: Functional Safety Foundations

Functional safety management
Planning, competence, documentation and assessment wrapped around technical work.
Random vs systematic
Hardware wear-out/chance failures quantified statistically versus design/process errors controlled by rigor.
Risk reduction allocation
Distributing required risk reduction among mechanical design, safeguards, control functions and procedures.
Safe state
The defined condition a function drives the equipment to on demand or fault.

Frequently asked questions: Functional Safety Foundations

Why can't testing alone prove safety?

Rare-event targets (like 1e-7/h) are unverifiable by test duration, and systematic errors evade random testing — hence the standards' dual machinery of quantified hardware analysis plus process rigor and independent assessment.
