IEC 62443 Mapping for OT / ICS Profiles (Informative)

Status: Informative
Applies when TPS class is ICS-SCADA.

UHBS area IEC 62443 concept Notes
Module A protocol fidelity (Modbus etc.) FR 3 — System integrity / protocol correctness Exact PDU / exception behavior
Module D egress / containment FR 5 — Restricted data flow Zone/conduit boundary for decoys
Air-gapped sandbox prerequisite Zones & conduits Decoys MUST NOT bridge OT zones
Module C telemetry FR 6 — Timely response to events SIEM-quality OT events
Module F static secrets / keys FR 1 — Identification & authentication No hardcoded engineering passwords
Production Baseline UHQS > 80 Risk assessment / SL-T Org sets target security level

UHBS does not replace a full 62443 assessment; it provides a repeatable decoy quality gate before OT deception assets are placed near production conduits.
