Context ​

The Context page defines the general parameters of the IEC 62443-3-2 study: SUC (System Under Consideration) identification, scope, team and regulatory framework. It is the starting point of any analysis.

Tabs ​

The page is organised into 7 tabs: 📋 General, 🗺️ Scope & Objectives, ⚙️ Configuration, 👥 Team, 📅 Sessions, 📄 Documents, 🔄 Revalidation.

📋 General ​

  • Study title
  • SUC — System Under Consideration — full name of the studied system
  • Operator
  • Integrator / Engineering firm
  • Assessment lead
  • Document reference — report number (e.g. IEC-2026-003)
  • Version — increment at each major revision
  • Start date / Expected end date
  • System description — free text
  • General notes

🗺️ Scope & Objectives ​

  • Assessment objectives
  • Functional scope
  • Physical / network scope
  • Exclusions
  • Applicable standards and regulations — dynamic list (+ Add a standard button, removal via ×)
  • Analysis assumptions and conditions

⚙️ Configuration ​

Lists the active pages in this module (Metrics, ZCR1-SUC, SUC Diagram, ZCR2 to ZCR6, ORG Measures, Compliance, Report) as chips, and above all carries the two optional study profiles:

ProfileEffect
SIS analysis (IEC 61511 / ISA TR84.00.09)Essential functions in ZCR 1; "initial SL-T = severity" rule, worst-case columns and cyber-LOPA tab in ZCR 2; six-factor EUROCAE calculator and CRRF/CIPL valuation in ZCR 5; CSA review in ZCR 6
Lifecycle (IEC 62443-2-3)Opens the Lifecycle page: IAONA sheets, CFAT/CSAT/PSSR, SL-A assessments, patch register

Both are independent and disabled by default. They add tabs and pages, without removing or altering anything that already exists — no impact on projects already created.

This is one of the three structuring choices of the module, along with the likelihood rating mode and the intended depth. See Where to start.
