November 21, 2014 - Secomea SiteManage is security certified by ProtectEM, a German security organization.
The solution consists of a control unit at the factory (SiteManager) in form of either hardware or software and a Web- or Windows based client (LinkManager) operated by technicians or end-users. These two components are tied together via a central M2M communication server (GateManager).
Secomea approached the German security organization ProtectEM GmBH that works in close cooperation with the Deggendorf Institute of Technology.
ProtectEM used a framework based on:
- Auditing processes according to NIST SP800-115 & ISECOM OSSTMM
- Concept auditing based on BSI (German federal office for information security), ISA 99, and IEC 62443
- Component auditing where components were individually analyzed and stressed
- System auditing where end-to-end security was thoroughly assessed
Based on findings and feedback during the auditing process Secomea developed a number of security optimizations, which were consolidated into the different solution components and verified. On November 11, ProtectEM could provide a comprehensive and final security audit report, and their official security certificate with the statement: “Successfully Passed”.
