Product Security by Connectivity Standards Alliance
Harmonized Standards with a Global, Single Certification Approach
IoT product and software companies require a coordinated, global model that minimizes consumer confusion, reduces regulatory compliance effort for manufacturers, 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 products.
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 products and the certification process for product manufacturers and consumers.
Unity
Promoting the alignment of global product security requirements.
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 certification artifacts designed to be used as supporting evidence in regulatory compliance submissions to Notified Bodies.
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 Product Security Certification Program
Manufacturers using Matter, Zigbee, Aliro, and other globally adopted technologies can build their products once and be relevant around the world.
The Impact of Product Security in the Market
Consumers
Consumers will be able to find IoT products that have been verified as properly secured. This should boost their confidence in the security of certified IoT products and increase adoption.
Manufacturers
Manufacturers that get the certification should see higher demand for their products while minimizing certification costs.
Regulators
Regulators that recognize the global certification should see widespread compliance with their regulations. At the same time, the IoT industry benefits by advancing the state of the art in consumer IoT product security, helping reduce vulnerabilities and security incidents across the market.
