prEN 40000-1-3: Cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements - Part 1-3: Vulnerability handling

These standards shall provide specifications applicable to vulnerability handling processes, covering all relevant product categories, to be put in place by manufacturers of the products with digital elements. Those processes shall at least allow to: (a) identify and document vulnerabilities and components contained in the product, including by drawing up a software bill of materials in a commonly used and machinereadable format covering at the very least the top-level dependencies of the product; (b) in relation to the risks posed to the products with digital elements, address and remediate vulnerabilities without delay, including by providing security updates; where technically feasible, new security updates shall be provided separately from functionality updates; (c) apply effective and regular tests and reviews of the security of the product with digital elements; (d) once a security update has been made available, share and publicly disclose information about fixed vulnerabilities, including a description of the vulnerabilities, information allowing users to identify the product with digital elements affected, the impacts of the vulnerabilities, their severity and clear and accessible information helping users to remediate the vulnerabilities; in duly justified cases, where manufacturers consider the security risks of publication to outweigh the security benefits, they may delay making public information regarding a fixed vulnerability until after users have been given the possibility to apply the relevant patch; (e) put in place and enforce a policy on coordinated vulnerability disclosure; (f) take measures to facilitate the sharing of information about potential vulnerabilities in their product with digital elements as well as in third party components contained in that product, including by providing a standardised contact address for the reporting of the vulnerabilities discovered in the product with digital elements; (g) provide for mechanisms to securely distribute updates for products with digital elements to ensure that vulnerabilities are fixed or mitigated in a timely manner, and, where applicable for security updates, in an automatic manner; (h) ensure that, where security updates are available to address identified security issues, they are disseminated without delay and, unless otherwise agreed between manufacturer and business user in relation to a tailor-made product with digital elements, free of charge, accompanied by advisory messages providing users with the relevant information, including on potential action to be taken.

This document provides generic technical cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements including their remote data processing solutions to fulfil the Essential Requirements of Annex I, Part I, (2)(a) through (2)(m) of the CRA. Where appropriate, multiple alternative requirements are provided that can be chosen from on a risk basis. The standard will include generic assessment criteria to support compliance of products with digital elements with the essential requirements of the CRA as listed above. Guidance will be provided to support the user of the standard in selecting the appropriate requirements to address the identified risks demonstrating the relation between cybersecurity threats and requirements. The EN 18031 series will be used as an input.

For security evaluation of biometric verification systems and biometric identification systems, this document is dedicated to security evaluation of presentation attack detection applying the ISO/IEC 15408 series. It provides recommendations and requirements to the developer and the evaluator for the supplementary activities on presentation attack detection specified in ISO/IEC 19989-1.

This document is applicable only to TOEs for single biometric characteristic type but for the selection of a characteristic from multiple characteristics.

For security evaluation of biometric recognition performance and presentation attack detection for biometric verification systems and biometric identification systems, this document specifies:

—    extended security functional components to SFR Classes in ISO/IEC 15408-2;

—    evaluation activities to methodology specified in ISO/IEC 18045 for SAR Classes of ISO/IEC 15408-3.

This document introduces the general framework for the security evaluation of biometric systems, including extended security functional components, and evaluation activities to methodology, which is additional activities and guidance/recommendations for an evaluator to handle those activities. The evaluation activities are developed in this document while the detailed recommendations are developed in ISO/IEC 19989-2 (for biometric recognition performance aspects) and in ISO/IEC 19989-3 (for presentation attack detection aspects). This document is applicable only to TOEs for single biometric characteristic type. However, the selection of a characteristic from multiple characteristics in SFRs is allowed.

This document establishes considerations for analysing, comparing or differentiating the characteristics of age assurance systems or components.

The document includes metrics, elements, and indicators of effectiveness for age-assurance systems or components.

This document includes guidance for considering the characteristics of various approaches and for making trade-offs when selecting approaches for different users, actors and use cases. The document describes different technical approaches suitable in different ecosystems for the implementation of age assurance systems or of age assurance components.

ISO/IEC 27033-1:2015 provides an overview of network security and related definitions. It defines and describes the concepts associated with, and provides management guidance on, network security. (Network security applies to the security of devices, security of management activities related to the devices, applications/services, and end-users, in addition to security of the information being transferred across the communication links.)

It is relevant to anyone involved in owning, operating or using a network. This includes senior managers and other non-technical managers or users, in addition to managers and administrators who have specific responsibilities for information security and/or network security, network operation, or who are responsible for an organization's overall security program and security policy development. It is also relevant to anyone involved in the planning, design and implementation of the architectural aspects of network security.

ISO/IEC 27033-1:2015 also includes the following:

- provides guidance on how to identify and analyse network security risks and the definition of network security requirements based on that analysis,

- provides an overview of the controls that support network technical security architectures and related technical controls, as well as those non-technical controls and technical controls that are applicable not just to networks,

- introduces how to achieve good quality network technical security architectures, and the risk, design and control aspects associated with typical network scenarios and network "technology" areas (which are dealt with in detail in subsequent parts of ISO/IEC 27033), and briefly addresses the issues associated with implementing and operating network security controls, and the on-going monitoring and reviewing of their implementation.

Overall, it provides an overview of this International Standard and a "road map" to all other parts.

ISO/IEC 27004:2016 provides guidelines intended to assist organizations in evaluating the information security performance and the effectiveness of an information security management system in order to fulfil the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2013, 9.1. It establishes:

a) the monitoring and measurement of information security performance;

b) the monitoring and measurement of the effectiveness of an information security management system (ISMS) including its processes and controls;

c) the analysis and evaluation of the results of monitoring and measurement.

ISO/IEC 27004:2016 is applicable to all types and sizes of organizations.

This document provides a guidance for organizations to address security and privacy risks in digital twin systems.
