The first part of BSI’s Technical Guideline TR-03183, General Requirements, sets the stage for #cyberresilience by establishing fundamental security standards for manufacturers. This section is essential for companies aiming to embed cybersecurity into every stage of the product lifecycle and align with the EU #CyberResilienceAct.
Key Aspects of Part 1 - General Requirements:
Risk-Based Approach – Emphasizes a thorough risk assessment for each product. Manufacturers must identify potential threats and vulnerabilities, ensuring that security measures are proportional to the risks faced.
Security by Design & Default – Outlines the necessity of integrating security controls from the earliest design phases and maintaining secure default settings, limiting attack vectors in deployed products.
Incident Response & Recovery Protocols – Requires manufacturers to implement structured incident response mechanisms. This includes the ability to detect and respond to incidents effectively, reducing potential damage and ensuring swift recovery.
Access Control and Authorization – Highlights the importance of stringent access management practices, ensuring that only authorized users have access to critical functions or sensitive data.
By following these guidelines, manufacturers can improve product security and align with upcoming regulatory requirements, ensuring that their products are secure by design. This framework isn’t just a co
mpliance checklist—it’s a proactive strategy for safeguarding digital products and building consumer trust in the age of increasing cyber threats.
