Scope

CEN TC 428 is responsible for all aspects of standardization related to maturing the ICT Profession
in all sectors, public and private. This includes, at a minimum, activity related to four major building
blocks of ICT Professionalism:
(1) competences (standardization of a common language of digital and ICT Professional
competences, skills and knowledge applied in all domains),
(2) education and certification,
(3) Code of Ethics and
(4) Body of Knowledge (BoK).
The main areas of standardization where CEN TC 428 will develop its activity are as follows:
* Definition, maintenance and evolution of digital Professional competences in all sectors, always
looking at current business adoption and new emerging technologies and trends as they become
relevant to the ICT profession as a whole (e.g. security, fintech, cloud, blockchain)
* Interaction with different frameworks
* Curricula guidance
* ICT Professional Role Profiles
* Guidance for assessing the published standards
* Body of Knowledge (BoK) for ICT
* Development of an education and certification model related to e-CF,
* Developing a sustainable code of ethics in the ever-changing ICT world.
All conceptual developments shall be consistent and interrelated.
