AXA XL has partnered with ISAsecure to strengthen its cybersecurity risk prevention capabilities by aligning its practices with the ISA/IEC 62443 series of industrial cybersecurity standards. This collaboration involves AXA XL participating in ISAsecure’s certification and training ecosystem to better understand and implement standardized processes for secure product development, system integration, and operational resilience in industrial control systems. By adopting a globally recognized set of requirements and assessment criteria for industrial automation and control system (IACS) cybersecurity, AXA XL aims to improve its ability to evaluate and mitigate risks in the industrial environments of its clients and policyholders. The initiative reflects a growing emphasis among insurers and risk managers on formalized cybersecurity frameworks that can guide consistent, measurable improvements in organizational defenses.

The integration of ISA/IEC 62443 into AXA XL’s risk assessment and advisory practices is intended to enhance predictive risk modeling and provide actionable insights on system vulnerabilities, secure design principles, and lifecycle security management. With certified personnel and adherence to structured control categories, AXA XL can offer clients clearer expectations around industrial cybersecurity maturity and help bridge gaps between technical safeguards and business risk objectives. This move also aligns with broader industry trends where insurance providers increasingly demand demonstrable compliance with established cyber risk frameworks as a prerequisite for favorable underwriting and risk reduction outcomes.
