O-RAN WG11 Security Specification
International (O-RAN Alliance)
v2024
8 domains
8 controls
The O‑RAN Alliance Working Group 11 (WG11) defines the Security Specification for Open Radio Access Networks. It addresses threat modeling, security domains, security functions, and security controls for O‑RU, O‑DU, O‑CU, Near‑RT RIC, Non‑RT RIC, and SMO components, and provides guidance on authentication, integrity, confidentiality, and secure lifecycle management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is O-RAN WG11 Security Specification?
O-RAN WG11 Security Specification is a compliance framework from International (O-RAN Alliance) with 8 domains and 8 controls. The O‑RAN Alliance Working Group 11 (WG11) defines the Security Specification for Open Radio Access Networks. It addresses threat modeling, security domains, security functions, and security controls for O‑RU, O‑DU, O‑CU, Near‑RT RIC, Non‑RT RIC, and SMO components, and provides guidance on authentication, integrity, confidentiality, and secure lifecycle management. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
How many controls does O-RAN WG11 Security Specification have?
O-RAN WG11 Security Specification has 8 controls organised across 8 domains. The largest domains are Cryptography, Protocols, PKI (1 controls), Logging, Monitoring, IR, DoS (1 controls), O-Cloud, Containers, Configuration, Patching (1 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.
What frameworks does O-RAN WG11 Security Specification map to?
O-RAN WG11 Security Specification maps to 152 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are OWASP DevSecOps Maturity Model (DSOMM) (75% coverage), FTC GLBA Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314) (75% coverage), Open Banking Security (63% coverage).
