Cybersecurity Guidelines for the Security and Fire Safety Industry

These updated CoESS-Euralarm Guidelines explain, in clear and practical terms, what every actor in the security and fire safety value chain must do to contribute to cybersecurity.

They provide:

  • A short overview of the key legal cybersecurity requirements relevant to the industry.
  • Guidance on how to set up internal cybersecurity governance frameworks that ensure accountability and clear responsibilities.
  • Concrete recommendations and technical measures following the established five-pillar approach also used by CLC TC 79 WG 17 on Cyber Security for Connected Alarm Systems. This covers the full lifecycle of security services: products, project design, installation and maintenance, monitoring services, and alarm response services.
