    NIS2 isn't just about your internal cybersecurity. It's about your entire ecosystem. That includes your integrators, OEMs, component suppliers, and partners. In the past, you might’ve sent a few security questions or asked for ISO 27001. But in the OT context, that’s rarely enough. That’s where ISA/IEC 62443 can be a game changer. ✔️ Security Levels (SL): These define how resilient a component or system is against certain types of attackers (e.g. from casual threats to nation-state actors). ✔️ Maturity Levels (ML): These reflect how well an organisation integrates cybersecurity in its engineering and operational processes (e.g. development lifecycle, patching, documentation). Why this matters: - If you're aiming for SL2 in your own operations, a supplier stuck at SL0 can create a weak link. - If your OEM can't demonstrate maturity (e.g. 62443-2-4 compliance), their products may meet specs but not your security requirements. With 62443, you move beyond checklists and start specifying security: - Require SL levels in your RFQs - Ask for supplier certification where possible - Use maturity assessments to evaluate integrator fit 📦 Supply chain resilience starts with clearly defined, measurable, and shared expectations. 💬 What role does 62443 play in your procurement or supplier conversations?

    ISO 27001 is often misunderstood. Some see it as a bureaucratic checkbox or a symbolic stamp to win tenders or meet procurement requirements. But that view misses the point — and the opportunity. ISO 27001 is not about paperwork. It’s about building real resilience. At its core, ISO 27001 helps you answer key strategic questions: - What information is truly business-critical? - Where are the weak spots in our current approach? - What risks do we accept — and which ones must we mitigate? - How do we make sure people actually follow the rules? It gives you a structured, repeatable, and measurable way to manage information security. And it brings clarity across the organisation: ✅ Clear roles and responsibilities 🧠 Awareness at every level 🛡️ Controls that are proportionate and risk-based 🔁 A living system that improves over time In practice, this leads to fewer incidents, faster recovery, better client confidence, and smoother audits. But it also does something deeper: it creates a culture where security is not someone’s job — it’s everyone’s job. 🔍 Want to explore how ISO 27001 could become a strength for your organisation — not just a certificate?

  • At Vinçotte - a Kiwa Company, we are committed to building a safe and sustainable energy future 🌍. Yesterday, our colleagues Stijn Michiels and Philippe Callens from our Nuclear team proudly represented us in Brussels at the 2nd General Assembly of the European Industrial Alliance for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). This key initiative—organized by #nucleareurope, the #EuropeanCommission, and #SNETP—aims to accelerate the deployment of SMRs in Europe by the early 2030s. ⚛ Their participation highlights Vinçotte’s commitment to staying at the forefront of innovative energy technologies. The Alliance brings together leading stakeholders from across the sector to build a robust framework for SMR deployment in Europe. Leveraging our expertise in inspection, testing, and certification, Vinçotte actively contributes to TWG3: Supply Chain, with the goal of building a competent and scalable European supply chain. Our contribution helps establish the essential standards and confidence needed for SMRs to become a cornerstone of Europe’s energy transition. We are proud of our team’s role in this crucial dialogue—ensuring that as the energy landscape evolves, safety and quality remain top priorities. #SMR #NuclearEnergy #EnergyTransition #Innovation #Sustainability

    The Interconnection of Safety and Security in Industrial Environments Industrial safety and cybersecurity are no longer separate disciplines, they’re fundamentally interconnected. Standards like IEC 61511 (functional safety) and IEC 62443 (cybersecurity) now go hand in hand to protect people, assets, and business continuity, from both accidental failures and intentional threats. 💡 Key takeaways from the article: - Safety & Security = Inseparable A cyber breach can undermine even the best safety systems. Both must be managed together. - Holistic Protection IEC 62443’s “defense in depth” model includes not just technical controls, but also governance and continuous risk assessment. - Integrated Lifecycles Aligning safety and security lifecycles helps keep systems resilient against evolving threats — cyber and physical. - Real-World Lessons Cases like Triton, Industroyer, and the Colonial Pipeline attack show how cyber threats can trigger safety incidents and major disruptions. - Practical Guidance Actionable tips: align governance, conduct joint audits, include cyber in safety cases, and connect safety & security teams. Are you involved in OT Security, automation, utilities or process industries? This article by Sam Van Hauwaert explains why combining IEC 61511 and IEC 62443 is essential for modern, resilient operations. 📖 Read the full article or book a quick call with Sam: https://shorturl.at/Dd1h4
