CSA ISO/IEC TS 24462:26

CSA Preface Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the SCC Mirror Committee (SMC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CSA ISO/IEC TS 24462" throughout. The International Standard was reviewed by the CSA Technical Committee on Cybersecurity under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Information and Communications Technologies and Systems and deemed acceptable for use in Canada. This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Scope This document defines an inventory of building blocks conceptually associated with different types of assessments of information and communication technology (ICT) trustworthiness. These assessments apply to areas such as governance, risk management, security evaluation, secure development lifecycle (SDL), supply chain integrity and privacy. This document also defines an ontology that organizes these building blocks and provides instructions for using the inventory of building blocks and the ontology. Formalizing the types, categories, and structural characteristics of building blocks in the area of ICT trustworthiness assessment aims to increase efficiency and improve future harmonization in standards development and their use. Building blocks can refer to structural components as well as semantic components. These components can be connected to a variety of concepts and activities related to trustworthiness assessments, including process related, such as traceability or elements of assessment methodologies.
