ISA/IEC 62443 Compliance Auditor Agent with LlamaIndex RAG

Adopting ISA/IEC 62443 cybersecurity standards across plant networks requires auditing complex control system configurations against extensive compliance documentation. Build a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) agent using LlamaIndex to query ISA/IEC 62443 standard controls and assess plant firewall configurations. Achieve 90% semantic query precision across regulatory controls.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Develop a LlamaIndex RAG pipeline indexing ISA/IEC 62443 documentation to evaluate control system security posture and generate audit gap analysis.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates RAG retrieval accuracy and compliance gap identification against ISA/IEC 62443 standards.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

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

clause_citation_accuracy

Ensures the correct ISA/IEC 62443 section is cited in the gap evaluation.

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

semantic_query_precision

Precision of retrieved knowledge nodes relative to ground truth references. • target: 0.9 • range: 0-1

Binary check

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

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Index ISA/IEC 62443-3-3 and 62443-4-2 standard requirements into LlamaIndex vector stores

  • Build a query engine capable of retrieving security level (SL) targets and foundational requirements

  • Analyze plant security configuration files against retrieved standard requirements
