The DOT-Chain Defence weapons marketplace has been assessed in accordance with the NIST international cybersecurity certificate

The DOT-Chain digital platform, designed to meet the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,  has become the third state information and communication system in Ukraine to be assessed for compliance with international standards based on NIST RMF security profiles. The audit covered the functionality of the DOT-Chain Defence weapons marketplace. NIST RMF is one of the most prestigious international standards in the field of cybersecurity, developed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology. It is widely used in the field of government and defence management. NIST standards are mandatory for US federal agencies that work with information systems. These include the Pentagon, NASA, CIA, and others.

“In terms of launching the DOT-Chain Defence weapons marketplace, data security is no less important than functionality or stable system operation. That is why the DOT team is constantly developing this area. Last year, we received the European ISO 27011 cybersecurity certificate. NIST certification is a logical continuation of this process," comments Alona Zhuzha, Director of the Digitalisation Department at DPA and IT Advisor at DOT.

As a reminder, in December 2024, DOT was certified according to ISO/IEC 27001. This international standard defines the requirements for the information security management system of the entire organisation and covers the functioning of people, policies and technologies.
