ISA describes shared responsibility across asset owners, product suppliers, integrators, and service suppliers while assigning different requirements across the 62443 series. A product mapping or certificate cannot transfer the facility's operating, engineering, safety, and risk decisions.
NIST treats an accurate OT asset inventory as important to risk management while warning that collection methods can affect the environment being observed. Passive, active, automated, and manual approaches have different evidence gaps and operational consequences, so discovery authority must be bounded before a tool is run.
The current C2M2 organizes more than 350 IT and OT cybersecurity practices across ten domains and three maturity levels. Asset owners still need practice-level evidence, scope, and accountable targets before a maturity result can guide investment.
Notified-body provisions began applying in June 2026 and vulnerability-reporting provisions follow in September, while the regulation's general application remains December 2027.
The joint guide raises the baseline from a discovered device list to a maintained inventory and taxonomy connected to function, criticality, risk, architecture, and response.
Order No. 907 creates a concrete network-data, anomaly-detection, evaluation, escalation, and evidence decision for covered bulk-power-system environments.
IEC PAS 62443-2-2:2025 organizes technical, physical, and process measures as a maintained protection scheme rather than a disconnected catalog of security products.
The guide puts secure configuration, identity, logging, vulnerability handling, updates, support, and buyer evidence into product selection rather than leaving them for post-purchase remediation.
