Regulations
Business Context
Frameworks such as IEC 62443 and NIS2 require documented cybersecurity
processes, technical controls, and governance. Compliance activities
strengthen security but may delay engineering projects and operational
changes.
The Contradiction
Greater compliance improves cyber governance.
Greater engineering agility accelerates operational improvement.
Why It Exists
Cybersecurity reviews, approvals, and documentation are essential for
reducing risk but extend implementation timelines.
Direction
Embed cybersecurity into engineering workflows through standardized
templates, automated compliance checks, and risk-based approval
processes.
