IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security is a compliance framework from International (IEC TC 57 WG15); adopted as EN IEC 62351 with 14 domains and 75 controls that map to 274 other frameworks. The largest domains are Part 3: profiles including TCP/IP (TLS) – IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security (13 controls), Part 9: cyber security key management – IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security (9 controls), Part 5: security for IEC 60870-5 and derivatives – IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security (8 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.

Coverage is not the same as your position

This page shows what IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security overlaps with in general. Where your organisation actually stands, against the standard you are going for and the certifications you already hold, is a different question. Same graph and the same recorded refutations, scoped to you rather than to a pair.

What is IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security and who does it apply to?

IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security is a compliance framework from International (IEC TC 57 WG15); adopted as EN IEC 62351 with 14 domains and 75 controls. The IEC TC 57 series securing power system communication protocols (IEC 60870-5, DNP3, ICCP, IEC 61850) and adding end-to-end functions: TLS profiles, MMS security, telecontrol authentication, GOOSE and SV authentication, network and system management, role-based access control, key management and XML file security, with technical reports on security architecture, DER resilience, the security topics standards should cover and deep packet inspection of encrypted traffic. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security actually require?

IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security has 75 controls organised across 14 domains. The largest domains are Part 3: profiles including TCP/IP (TLS) – IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security (13 controls), Part 9: cyber security key management – IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security (9 controls), Part 5: security for IEC 60870-5 and derivatives – IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security (8 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security do I already cover?

IEC 62351 - Power Systems Communication Security maps to 274 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are O-RAN WG11 Security Specification (6% coverage), NIST SP 800-82 Revision 3: Guide to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security (6% coverage), MTCS (Singapore) (6% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.
