1 Scope
This document deals with cybersecurity related to measuring devices (PMD according to IEC 61557‑12 and PQI according to IEC 62586‑1 ) and devices for data collection (devices according to IEC 62974‑1 ) that are intended to be installed in restricted access areas.
This document deals with cybersecurity aspects (e.g. device hardening or device resilience) of device(s) used for power metering and monitoring, power
quality monitoring, data collection and analysis, but does not cover requirements
for organisational cybersecurity (e.g. end-user security policy).
NOTE Organisational cybersecurity is essential for trustworthy operation of the device(s).
This document is a first attempt to develop awareness by manufacturers and other relevant
stakeholders about cybersecurity aspects and provide basic guidance for achieving the appropriate security mitigation
against vulnerabilities to security threats:
in coherence with device/system approaches described in relevant standards such as
IEC 62443 (all parts) and ISO/IEC 27001 ,
