GOST standard on dependability of open systems
8 December 2020
Russian national standard GOST R 27.016-2020 "Dependability in technics. Open systems dependability" was adopted, which comes into force on July 1, 2021.
The new standard is applicable to the life cycle stages of products, systems, processes or services, including hardware, software and human factors, or a combination of these.
For open systems, security is especially important because these systems are susceptible to adverse effects. The standard GOST R 27.016-2020 can be used to improve the dependability of open systems and provide confidence that the analysis of the open system process is consistent with expected results. The new standard can help an organization define the activities and tasks that must be performed to achieve the dependability objectives of an open system, including the exchange of dependability information, and the assessment and comparison of dependability metrics at all stages of the system life cycle.
