Challenge

CrewAI ISA/IEC 62443 Security Compliance Verification with Lakera

Industrial power utilities struggle to continuously audit OT infrastructure against ISA/IEC 62443 cybersecurity standards. Develop a multi-agent auditing workflow using CrewAI and Lakera to inspect zone boundaries and prevent prompt-driven parameter tampering. The pipeline must detect 100% of non-compliant network conduits and malicious instruction injections.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

injection_defense

Verifies that 100% of embedded prompt injection attempts are intercepted by Lakera

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

compliance_audit_accuracy

Accuracy in detecting ISA/IEC 62443 conduit violations • target: 1 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
