The company specializing in digital transformation of energy management and automation, Schneider Electric, has announced that its Calgary, Alberta, and Lake Forest, California, process automation product development centers have been certified by exida, a globally recognized ISO 17065 certification body.
Complementing exida’s first certificate for Security Development Lifecycle Assurance (SDLA), awarded to three of the company’s product development centers in 2016, Schneider Electric is also the process automation industry’s first company to receive ISASecure SDLA Level Two compliance certification, awarded to its Calgary location.
Based on assessments during the product development lifecycle, ISASecure SDLA certifications prove that the Schneider Electric solutions developed at certified centers maintain robust security capabilities, even as the products are upgraded and maintained over their lifespans. The ISASecure SDLA certification specifications are set by the ISA Security Compliance Institute (ISCI) based upon the ISA/IEC 62443 international cybersecurity standards. ISCI is the leading not-for-profit automation controls industry consortium dedicated to accelerating industry-wide cybersecurity improvement for industrial automation and control systems (IACS).
