Trained to assist with implementing the SCCI Frameworks

About the SCCI Frameworks

Developed by the IoT Security Institute (IoTSI), the SCCI Frameworks (Smart Cities and Critical Infrastructure) provide a cybersecurity and privacy framework for secure design, development, and deployment of smart city technologies and critical infrastructure systems.

Key Features

  • Governance Integration: Aligns security and privacy with enterprise, civic, and regulatory governance.
  • Built-in Security and Privacy Controls: Design-time and runtime safeguards mapped to global standards (ISO/IEC 27001, NIST CSF, IEC 62443, GDPR).
  • Cross-Domain Interoperability: Integrates IT, OT, IoT, and physical systems across smart cities and critical sectors.
  • Risk-Based Architecture: Supports contextual risk management, continuous assurance, and layered trust zones.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Guidance for planners, engineers, developers, operators, and policy-makers across urban and industrial domains.

Benefits

Adopting the SCCI Framework ensures smart systems are resilient, compliant, privacy-preserving, and aligned with public trust and operational mandates.

 

SCCI Framework – Smart Cities and Critical Infrastructure

The SCCI Framework (Smart Cities and Critical Infrastructure) developed by the IoT Security Institute (IoTSI) provides a comprehensive cybersecurity and privacy model for the secure design and governance of smart urban systems and national critical infrastructure.

It ensures governance integration, standards-based security controls (aligned to ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, IEC 62443, GDPR), cross-domain interoperability, risk-based architecture, and stakeholder engagement across IT, OT, and IoT environments.

By adopting SCCI, cybersecurity professionals can embed privacy-by-design, ensure operational resilience, and align smart ecosystems with regulatory and trust expectations.
