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.

Standardization research is a fairly new and is a still-evolving field of research, with possibly major practical ramifications. This article presents a summary of the authors’ subjective views of the most pressing research topics in the field. These include, among others, standards (e.g. incorporation of ethical issues), the potential impact of standards, the corporate management of standardization and legal issues like Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). In addition, gaps have been identified with a respect to a basic understanding of standardization, suggesting a need for better education in the field.
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.
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.
