NEW: ISASecure Site Assessment Program for OT Cybersecurity Learn More

An ACSSA Implementation Update from ISASecure (March 2025)

A new update on ISASecure Automation & Control System Security Assurance (ACSSA) assessment and certification scheme. The countdown has begun for a late July 2025 training rollout.

ISASecure ACSSA is a program to evaluate and optionally certify an automation and control system which has been deployed by an accountable asset owner, for conformity to the 62443 cybersecurity standards. ISA and its volunteer members are on a mission to facilitate the emergence of the ISA/IEC 62443 standards from the primordial ooze of spreadsheets and PDFs into useful applications that will accelerate the adoption of the world's most accepted OT cybersecurity standards. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

•  Do not try this on your own – ACSSA provides a structured, vetted approach for evaluating conformity to the 62443 standards. This turnkey approach can be employed as a tool by the industry, either formally under the ACSSA program, or internally by an asset owner.

•  ACSSA differs from the certifications currently available for individual standards (2-1, 2-4, 3-2 and 3-3).
