Challenges in rail compliance
As regulators and rail stakeholders increasingly demand compliance with rapidly changing cyber security standards and requirements, organizations must ensure their systems, components, and processes align and can be demonstrated to be compliant.
How our compliance services support you
DNV offers certification, gap assessments, and implementation support based on international and national frameworks. Serving both asset owners and product/system suppliers, our services cover all key aspects of standards, from governance to secure development and system security.
The development of IEC 62452, a new International Standard rail cybersecurity covering the entire IEC/TC9 scope including high-speed, mainline, freight, and metropolitan networks is currently underway. DNV is actively involved in the expert group drafting this standard. IEC 62452 will adapt the industrial cybersecurity standard IEC 62443 to the railway sector, building on CENELEC’s TS 50701. It addresses cybersecurity throughout the entire railway application lifecycle, including development, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning, from an integrated system perspective.
