NEC.TECH
The "NEC.TECH" Scientific and Technical Center (part of the "NEC" Group) received a positive opinion from the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) on the correct integration of cryptographic information protection tools (CIPF) into the company's SHL-ZB-L data collection and transmission device (DCT) No. 149/3/2/2/3569.
The data collection and transmission device submitted for evaluation is a completely Russian development. The software was developed by "NEC.TECH", a St. Petersburg company, and is included in the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media's register. The device itself was manufactured at the "NARTIS" plant in Cherepovets (part of the "NEC" Group).
An assessment of the impact of the ViPNet Client 4U for Linux software suite on compliance with the Ministry of Energy's basic threat model and its potential for use in intelligent electricity metering systems (IEMS) was conducted by InfoTeKS Group, a leading Russian developer and manufacturer of high-tech software and hardware for information security.
Domestic legislation and the current regulatory framework, in particular Russian Government Resolution No. 890 of June 19, 2020, "On the Procedure for Providing Access to the Minimum Set of Functions of Smart Electricity (Power) Metering Systems" and the basic model of information security threats in smart electricity (power) metering systems of the Russian Ministry of Energy, establish the need to use a data transfer device (DTP) with a cryptographic information protection tool (CIPF) in smart electricity metering systems to protect information transmitted over publicly accessible communication channels.
InfoTeKS Group experts confirmed that the ViPNet Client 4U for Linux PC cryptographic information protection tool (version 1), when integrated into the "NEC.TEKH" SHL-ZB-L data collection and transmission device, meets all regulatory requirements and can be used for ISUE information security.

"During our development, we always rely on the highest regulatory requirements for information security (IS). The positive conclusion from the FSB of Russia confirms that our IT solution complies with all regulatory requirements and is capable of providing a high level of protection for the storage and transmission of information at critical information infrastructure facilities."
