What is ISO/IEC 27019?

ISO 27019 is the information security management standard applied to process control systems (PCS) and used in the energy utility sector to manage the production, generation, storage, or distribution of electricity, gas, oil, or heat and exercise control of associated supporting processes.

It is based on the ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 standards and thus can be easily integrated into a new or existing information security management system such as Compliance Aspekte.

How ISO 27019 certification with Compliance Aspekte works

The Standards Compliance Manager supports the information security management guidelines of ISO 27019 based on ISO/IEC 27002 for process control systems specific to the energy utility industry. It covers security compliance assessment, risk management, performance control, and monitoring all in one place.

Implementation Workflow

Before implementing the standard, it is necessary for companies to conduct a risk assessment to see if there are any additional country- and/or company-specific requirements they have to comply with. Our solution allows uploading the specific required regulations and immediately starting working with them.

Further, you can choose the appropriate controls:

  • General controls to reduce risks (e.g. controls from ISO 27002)
  • Specific controls from ISO 27019
  • Additional company-specific controls

One of the features we like best about Compliance Aspekte is its streamlined compliance process. The interface has a clean and structured design, ensuring usability and workflow speed. This not only results in a steep learning curve for new users but also lets experienced users minimize effort. At every stage during the security management lifecycle process, recurring tasks like scoping, structural analysis, modeling, and even tracking risks and controls are supported by a variety of features, e.g. mapping controls with multiple requirements, assigning individual assets to different scopes as well as expanding requirement and control catalogs. On top of that, the performance of the platform is great – it is stable and good in terms of speed efficiency. Having Helga, the compliance assistance bot, is also a very special plus as she can explain terms and provides guidance through the application. We really love and live Compliance Aspekte!

We’ve been staying with Compliance Aspekte for a long time as it is one of the most convenient and flexible compliance tools on the market. With this tool, we can easily create our own assets, and asset types, import risk catalogs, create our own controls, define our own requirements in regard to the assets, pack them into modules, and then automate everything in a flexible way. Among the other decent features that we take advantage of, are user-friendly gap analysis, the possibility to switch from a tree view to grids, and extensive collaboration functionality. Overall Compliance Aspekte significantly reduces the time spent and the risks of mistakes.

    FAQ

    Companies in the energy utility sector currently experience three main challenges. First, more and more businesses are being targeted by nation-state cyber attackers, cyber terrorists, and other criminals to undermine the industry’s economic value. In addition, the sphere is highly susceptible to ransomware. Second, this industry is highly intricate as it uses legacy and modern technology as well as highly depends on physical and software infrastructures. It all makes utility companies extremely vulnerable to fraud, malicious exploitations, etc. And last but not least is the complexity of the industry’s security as many organizations have decentralized security supervision and struggle with integrating cybersecurity with compliance standards and documentation. Such challenges can lead to reputational and regulatory risks and pose a dire threat to the entire population.
    In 2017, the standard became a full-fledged 44-page standard based on ISO/IEC 27002 and is used in the energy utility industry for process control systems management.
    ISO/IEC 27019 was first released in 2013 as a Technical Report and DIN standard. In 2017, its second edition became a full International Standard together.
