Security certification for smart grids
Security and privacy issues are of major concern for smart grid users. For this reason, vendors should ensure that these two features follow smart grid devices for their whole life cycle; from the design to the decommission phase. Certification is not only a means to provide assurance to the smart gird users that security and privacy have been taken into account but also to create trust to the entire smart grid supply chain.
ENISA issued a report which provides insight on security certification of smart grids. It contains information about several certification approaches; it describes the specific European situation, discusses the advantages and challenges and provides recommendations to involved stakeholders towards a more harmonised European smart grid security certification practices framework.
