Abbott Risk Consulting (ARC) Ltd. joined ISASecure, the globally recognized certification program that validates conformance to the ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards for industrial automation and control systems (IACS) cybersecurity.

ARC offers consultancy services across the UK and Australia including risk management; safety engineering, assurance and verification. Other services include independent safety assessment; training; functional safety; cybersecurity; and more.

The company focuses on supporting clients with the design, operation, and decommissioning of facilities, plants, and assets. ARC covers high-risk industries including oil and gas, nuclear, defense, rail, mining, and clean energy.

This partnership reflects ARC’s mission to strengthen knowledge and assistance in providing additional operational technology (OT) cybersecurity consulting and assessments. Those assessments include ISASecure’s Security Development Lifecycle Assurance (SDLA), Component Security Assurance (CSA). They also include System Security Assurance (SSA), and Automation Control System Security Assurance (ACSSA).

“It is an honor to welcome ARC Ltd. into the ISASecure program, and we look forward to engaging with them as students in the next IC49 ACSSA for Evaluators training course,” said Mark DeAngelo, ISASecure program manager. “Today’s critical infrastructure demands comprehensive, rigorously validated cybersecurity.
