SERVICE

Assurance, verification, and compliance

An independent assessment of whether security is what you think it is. Against IEC 62443, regulations such as NIS2, CRA, and CER, or your own requirements. The result should be usable by management to prioritize, and by technical staff to close deviations.

Don’t need an audit, but someone to challenge a specific assessment? For second opinions, bid reviews, design reviews, and quality assurance of decision documents, see Independent review and assurance.

Typical situations

If one of these sounds familiar, it is worth a conversation.

The board or group wants to know where you stand.
An inspection has been announced, and you want to find the deviations before they do.
A vendor is being prequalified, and the documentation needs assessment against IEC 62443-2-4 or 4-2.
You need to show where you stand against the 21 baseline requirements in Offshore Norge 104.
You have implemented measures and want confirmation that they work.

Delivery and method

We review the management system, technical documentation, and selected systems, and we interview the people who operate them. The assessment ends in a report with findings, deviations and recommendations, sorted by risk. Everything is documented, so it can be verified.

We can also help with requirements and expert assessment of suppliers and bids when this is part of the client’s assurance or procurement process. Supplier assessments are second-party assessments. They don’t provide certification. We use the methodology in IEC TS 62443-6-1 and 6-2, so that the results can be compared.

LIVSLØP · OFFSHORE NORGE 104
Sikkerhet gjennom livsløpet

Sikkerheten må vedlikeholdes gjennom hele livsløpet, fordi systemet, trusselbildet og evidensen endrer seg.

Offshore Norge 104 rev. 7 knytter NIST CSF 2.0 til Planlegg–Gjennomfør–Kontroller–Forbedre og krever at tiltakene styres gjennom livsløpet (kapittel 1.3 og 2).

LIFECYCLE · OFFSHORE NORGE 104

Security through the lifecycle

Security must be maintained throughout the lifecycle, because the system, the threat picture, and the evidence change.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a penetration test?
No. We assess management, architecture, and practice, and we don’t test the systems technically. If you need technical testing or spot checks, we help you scope it, commission it well, and follow it up.
How disruptive is the audit to operations?
Very little. Most of it is document and interview work, and site visits are planned around operations.
Can the report be shared with clients and authorities?
Yes. It is written so it can serve as documentation towards third parties, if you wish.
