This ICT minimum standard is aimed at systemically important waste management companies. It is a recommendation on how cyber risks can be reduced to an acceptable level in a forward-looking and cost-effective manner.
The ICT standards are intended to help organisations assess the status of their own IT environment and answer the following questions:
- Have guidelines been drawn up and processes defined?
- Are measures partially or fully implemented?
- Are they subject to regular assessments?
- Are the networks segmented according to best practice?
Waste incineration plants that systematically implement the ICT minimum standard in the future and take advantage of the resulting opportunities will recognise that ICT security is not a cost factor, but can be seen as a real business advantage in terms of Switzerland's security of supply.
