SysTec Systemtechnik und Industrieautomation GmbH (Germany) - Another milestone in cybersecurity excellence!

SysTec has successfully completed an independent IT security audit conducted by TÜV Nord, confirming compliance with the IEC 62443-4-1 international standard.

The IEC 62443 series defines globally recognized requirements for the cybersecurity of industrial automation and control systems. Part 4-1 of this standard focuses on the secure development lifecycle of components, covering every stage from planning and design to implementation, testing, release, and maintenance of software and embedded systems.

The standard establishes eight key security practices that guide manufacturers in creating secure, reliable products:

1. IT security management over the entire product life cycle
2. Consideration of IT security in specification and design
3. Secure-by-design: integration of security concepts into the design
4. Implementation of secure programming 
5. Verification and testing of IT security
6. Early detection and systematic handling of security vulnerabilities
7. Secure update mechanisms
8. IT security guidelines

Successfully passing the audit confirms that SysTec’s development processes adhere to the highest international security standards. This achievement not only reinforces customer trust but also strengthens the company’s foundation for delivering safe, sustainable, and future-ready products.
