Danfoss Drives achieves IEC 62443 SL1 readiness in 1+ year with Proekspert

Danfoss Drives, a leading provider of industrial automation technology, faced the challenge of certifying its legacy VLT® Drives and MCT10 configuration tool to meet new IEC 62443 cybersecurity regulations without costly hardware redesigns. To protect market access, they partnered with vendor Proekspert for a security compliance solution.

Proekspert implemented robust security features like role-based access and audit logging directly into the product firmware and software. This solution enabled Danfoss to achieve IEC 62443 Security Level 1 readiness, passing an audit with no major issues and with no hardware changes required. The vendor's work secured continued market access for Danfoss and established a repeatable process for future certifications.
