MiFID II / MiFIR vs IEC 62443
What is the difference between MiFID II / MiFIR and IEC 62443?
MiFID II / MiFIR is a other framework applying in the European Union, with 8 controls across 8 domains. IEC 62443 is a other framework applying in International, with 303 controls across 6 domains. Both govern the same subject, so their requirements overlap; the mapping below shows which controls carry across and which are asked for by only one of them.
