EG-ICS-001 Industrial Control System Runtime Governance Requirements

11/11 Critical Infrastructure Governance Initiative

Version: Draft v0.1

Classification: Industrial Runtime Governance Specification

Specification Family: Infrastructure Governance Standards

Abstract

EG-ICS-001 defines industrial control system runtime governance requirements for regulated operational environments.

The specification establishes mandatory governance controls including deterministic runtime enforcement, fail-closed operational protections, cryptographic verification continuity, immutable industrial synchronization, distributed telemetry propagation, and governance consistency across sovereign industrial infrastructure systems.

The framework positions runtime governance as a deterministic operational protection layer for industrial control and SCADA systems.

1. Industrial Runtime Governance Principle

Governed industrial systems MUST maintain deterministic runtime continuity across all operational environments.

Governed runtime environments SHALL enforce:

• industrial synchronization continuity• runtime governance coordination• cryptographic industrial verification• immutable operational continuity• distributed telemetry synchronization• fail-closed runtime protections

Any unverifiable industrial condition SHALL trigger deterministic containment protections.

2. Industrial Coordination Requirements

Governed runtime environments SHALL maintain coordination systems responsible for:

• industrial synchronization propagation• runtime telemetry continuity• governance routing coordination• distributed operational consistency• immutable audit continuity• cross-domain synchronization integrity

Industrial coordination SHALL remain synchronized across all runtime systems.

3. Deterministic Industrial Validation

Execution governance systems SHALL validate:

1. Industrial Runtime Continuity

2. Governance Policy Synchronization

3. Runtime Integrity Verification

4. Industrial Scope Continuity

5. Cryptographic Verification Validation

6. Immutable Audit Synchronization

7. Distributed Runtime Consistency

8. Execution Lineage Continuity

Validation failures SHALL trigger fail-closed protections.

4. Fail-Closed Industrial Enforcement

Governed runtime environments MUST operate under deterministic fail-closed protections.

Failure conditions SHALL trigger containment including:

• industrial synchronization interruption• runtime governance mismatch• cryptographic verification failure• immutable audit discontinuity• distributed coordination inconsistency• unauthorized industrial modification• runtime state divergence• unverifiable industrial transitions

Execution MUST default to containment during industrial uncertainty.

5. Cryptographic Industrial Verification

Governed execution systems SHALL implement cryptographic industrial verification supporting:

• signed industrial records• runtime integrity verification• immutable proof continuity• distributed trust synchronization• governance evidence propagation• audit authenticity validation

Cryptographic verification SHALL remain continuous during runtime propagation.

6. Immutable Operational Continuity

Execution governance environments SHALL maintain immutable operational continuity supporting:

• tamper-evident industrial records• immutable synchronization continuity• distributed runtime replication• telemetry continuity synchronization• audit persistence continuity• governance evidence traceability

Operational continuity SHALL remain immutable and verifiable across distributed runtime systems.

7. Distributed Runtime Synchronization

Distributed runtime governance systems SHALL synchronize:

• industrial continuity propagation• runtime telemetry synchronization• distributed operational consistency• cryptographic synchronization continuity• immutable audit persistence• runtime governance integrity

Desynchronization SHALL trigger deterministic containment protections.

8. Industrial Governance Traceability

Governed execution environments SHALL maintain deterministic traceability including:

• industrial lifecycle records• governance synchronization telemetry• orchestration routing references• cryptographic proof references• immutable audit records• distributed coordination metadata• operational continuity records

Traceability SHALL remain continuously available for verification and audit inspection.

9. Industrial Governance Lifecycle Flow

1. Industrial Initialization

2. Industrial Validation

3. Governance Coordination Inspection

4. Runtime Integrity Verification

5. Cryptographic Verification Validation

6. Telemetry Synchronization Validation

7. Fail-Closed Enforcement Evaluation

8. Runtime Industrial Approval

9. Immutable Synchronization Persistence

10. Audit Continuity Verification
