Harmonized Standards with a Global, Single Certification Approach
IoT device and software companies require a coordinated, global model that minimizes consumer confusion and heals a fragmented industry.
The Promise of a Robust, Product Security Certification Program
Rooted in industry best practices, technical excellence, and adherence to existing product security regulations, this new certification program will serve as a beacon in ensuring the security of IoT devices.
Security
Advancing the state of the art in consumer IoT product security and verifying IoT products can securely resist hostile attacks.
Trust
Increasing consumer confidence in the security of certified products while offering a certification mark confirming baseline security thresholds are met.
Simplicity
Easing the task of building secure IoT devices and the certification process for product manufacturers and consumers.
Reliability
Identifying unsafe and risky devices while providing multiple levels of pre-defined assurance.
Product Security Certification Program
Grants a Verified Mark
Built on 20 years of validation and certification experience, the Alliance’s Product Security Certification Program provides product manufacturers with the confidence that their product meets US, EU, and Singaporean requirements allowing them to save money and time by certifying once.
Now is the time for the world to work cohesively to create harmonized standards for IoT product security, delivering on the promise of a more connected, secure, and productive world.
Security best practices, technical capabilities, and existing global product security regulations inform the IoT Device Security Certification Program.
Globally adopted technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 5G cellular can build their devices once and be relevant around the world.
The Impact of Product Security in the Market
Manufacturers
Providing a harmonized set of requirements allowing component vendors to provide security evidence for SI’s and OEM’s, including guidelines and mappings demonstrating how devices meet security conformance requirements.
Developers & Installers
Establishes a unified baseline standard for IoT device security certifications with consistent messaging, eliminating the frustration of fragmentation, and ensuring compliance with relevant security regulations and standards.
Regulators
Ensures IoT Products in various countries/regions adequately protect their consumers and stakeholders through the development of a scheme meeting regulatory requirements and establish a trusted advisor role on upcoming/existing regulations.
Consumer
Provides easily understood certifications, making it easy for consumers to understand why it’s important and how it benefits them, reducing consumer overwhelm and frustration with product security concerns.
