- Risk proportionate safety measures.
- Actuality: safety must be reconsidered frequently and must be updated according to the change in the risks and consequences arising out of the possible breach of safety.
- Integrity: a coherent and integrated safety approach is needed with respect to all elements of an information system.
- Reaction mechanism: all participants shall cooperate in order to prevent security breaches and in order to provide quick answer with respect to a breach.
