A Survey on the Application of Safety, Security, and Privacy Standards for Dependable Systems

Abstract

Safety-critical systems are required to comply with safety standards. These systems are increasingly digitized and networked to an extent where they need to also comply with security and privacy standards. This paper aims to provide insights into how practitioners apply the standards on safety, security or privacy (Sa/Se/Pr), as well as how they employ Sa/Se/Pr analysis methodologies and software tools to meet such criteria. To this end, we conducted a questionnaire-based survey within the participants of an EU project SECREDAS and obtained 21 responses.
