Information technology - Security techniques - Information security management guidelines based on /IEC 27002 for process control systems specific to the energy utility industry - First Edition
 N ISO/IEC TR 27019

Annotation

The scope of this guideline covers process control systems used by the energy utility industry for controlling and monitoring the generation, transmission, storage and distribution of electric power, gas and heat in combination with the control of supporting processes. This includes in particular the following systems, applications and components:

- the overall IT-supported central and distributed process control, monitoring and automation technology as well as IT systems used for their operation, such as programming and parameterization devices;

- digital controllers and automation components such as control and field devices or PLCs, including digital sensor and actuator elements;

- all further supporting IT systems used in the process control domain, e.g. for supplementary data visualization tasks and for controlling, monitoring, data archiving and documentation purposes;

- the overall communications technology used in the process control domain, e.g. networks, telemetry, telecontrol applications and remote control technology;

- digital metering and measurement devices, e.g. for measuring energy consumption, generation or emission values;

- digital protection and safety systems, e.g. protection relays or safety PLCs;

- distributed components of future smart grid environments;
