The International Society of Automation (ISA), a professional society for automation, announced that Palindrome Technologies has received full accreditation from the International Accreditation Service (IAS) and ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) to serve as an ISO/IEC 17065 accredited certification body for the globally recognized certification program ISASecure, a wholly owned subsidiary of ISA.
The ISASecure certification program validates conformance to the ISA/IEC 62443 series of internationally adopted standards for industrial security. Palindrome is now accepting product submittals for ISASecure certification.
ISASecure assesses automation and control products and systems to ensure they are robust against network attacks, free from known vulnerabilities and meet the security capabilities defined in the ISA/IEC 62443 standards. All ISASecure certifications are conducted by globally recognized ISO/IEC 17065 accredited certification bodies.
Palindrome Technologies is a cybersecurity research and testing firm, established in 2005, which provides security assurance services to Fortune 500 companies and growing organizations. Palindrome is an accredited ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory and can guide customers through product certifications, including IEEE, NIST, HITRUST, HIPAA, and now ISASecure SDLA, CSA, SSA, and ICSA certification to the ISA/IEC 62443 standard.
As an ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI) member, Palindrome has been involved in the technical development of ISASecure’s newest conformance scheme, the ISASecure Automation Control System Security Assurance (ACSSA) program. Palindrome staff were among the first to complete the ISASecure ACSSA for Evaluators training and certification.
“The ISASecure certification program gives product suppliers a clear, globally recognized path to demonstrate conformance to the ISA/IEC 62443 standard and provides asset owners greater confidence that the technologies they deploy are robust against real-world threats. Palindrome is proud to support this mission with rigorous, repeatable evaluations that help teams build security in from the start and differentiate trusted products in the marketplace,” said Mike Stauffer, vice president of product testing and certification at Palindrome Technologies.
The ISASecure program, which currently has ISO/IEC 17065 accredited certification bodies in the U.S., Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Italy, Germany and India, is rapidly expanding its global reach through additional agreements with certification bodies around the world.
“We are pleased to have Palindrome Technologies join the ISASecure program as an accredited ISASecure certification body,” said Mark P. DeAngelo, program manager of ISASecure.
