On 24 June 2026, NIST released the initial public draft of SP 800-213 Revision 1, IoT Product Cybersecurity Guidelines for the Federal Government: Establishing IoT Product Cybersecurity Requirements (NIST announcement, draft PDF). For connected device makers, the draft is useful because it treats IoT as a product and deployment-risk problem, not just a device-feature checklist.
On 16 June 2025, the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) published new draft guidance aimed directly at the manufacturers and developers of Internet of Things (IoT) products. This is a significant development for any company placing connected devices on the UK market, providing much-needed regulatory clarity on how data protection law applies to the IoT ecosystem.
In a significant step forward for cybersecurity, ETSI formally published EN 303 645 in June 2020. This standard establishes a baseline for the security of internet-connected consumer devices, providing a practical, risk-based framework for manufacturers.
