Digital transformation and especially the dramatic rise of products and services connected to the Internet of Things raise the questions on how to deal with the increasing risks related to Privacy and Cybersecurity. Presumably, these risks seem to be insufficiently reflected in the European Union’s current regulative system – by being neither part of the traditional definition of a safe product nor part of product-specific vertical or horizontal directives. Certification based on standards as underlying requirements has been identified by policymakers as an instrument to address this issue. The latest European draft regulation aims at increasing security and trust in ICT products and services, and reducing current European market fragmentation with a new Cybersecurity Certification Framework. Based on the results of a qualitative analysis of stakeholder statements on the current proposal on the Cybersecurity Act, this paper discusses elements of the proposed Cybersecurity Certification Framework. As a theoretical background, this paper provides definitions of the terms Safety, IT-security, and Cybersecurity, presents selected Cybersecurity-related standards and provides an outlook on future challenges to Conformity Assessment in the digital transformation.
Mit QI-FoKuS / Forschung für Konformitätsbewertung und Sicherheit streben wir auf Basis einer wiederkehrenden Befragung von Unternehmen und Konformitätsbewertungsstellen in Deutschland die Schaffung einer besseren Datengrundlage für die Forschung an. Diese soll es erleichtern, wichtige Zusammenhänge evidenzbasiert zu analysieren, um das systemische Zusammenwirken der Elemente der Qualitätsinfrastruktur besser zu verstehen. Dabei sollen zunächst die Elemente Konformitätsbewertung und Akkreditierung besonders im Vordergrund stehen.
In the wake of digitalization, organizations are increasingly exposed to risks associated with security breaches and must take measures to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, and to ensure business continuity. The international standard ISO/IEC 27001 assists organizations in setting up, maintaining and continuously improving their information security management systems. However, despite high growth rates, its international diffusion rates are quite heterogeneous. This paper explores why the diffusion of the international management system standard ISO/IEC 27001 differs across countries. We classify the adoption of ISO/IEC 27001 as a ‘preventive organizational innovation’ and draw from diffusion studies of other management system standards and information security research to develop a set of hypotheses. These relate to the impact of cultural dimensions and national ICT development. We use a negative binomial regression model with panel data covering 57 countries over a 12-year period from 2006 to 2017 to test our hypotheses. We find that the cultural dimensions future orientation, power distance, and institutional collectivism as well as high ICT development are driving factors for the diffusion of ISO/IEC 27001. We derive policy recommendations and avenues for future research.
Traditional innovation indicators often lack coverage, granularity as well as timeliness and involve high data collection costs, especially when conducted at a large scale. Based on the assumption that firms publish information about their products and services on their own websites, the Centre for European Economic Research in Mannheim (ZEW) has developed a framework to extract information from German firm websites applying Web Mining using a free-to-use web-scraping tool.
Categorized as an intraorganizational procedural innovation, management system standards often lack research especially during the early stages of their diffusion mainly due to low data availability. Therefore, we introduce Web Mining to study the diffusion of the international management system standard ISO/IEC 27001 in Germany. Using the Mannheim Enterprise panel dataset, we first apply Web Mining to identify firms that refer to these and other common management system standards, followed by manual categorization. Second, we estimate a probit model to identify drivers for its implementation. Finally, we derive recommendations for policy makers.
QI-FoKuS stands for „Quality Infrastructure – Research for Conformity Assessment and Safety“. Supported by the BMWi, a new recurring survey of companies was launched under this name in end-September 2019 in a joint project between the TU Berlin and the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). The first company survey deals with the use and certification of management systems with a special focus on information security and the criteria for the selection of certification bodies.
