Details

In March 2018 the Government published the Secure by Design report which advocated a fundamental shift in approach to securing IoT devices, by moving the burden away from consumers and ensuring that security is built into products by design. Central to the report was a draft Code of Practice primarily for manufacturers of consumer IoT devices and associated services. An informal consultation on the report and its proposed policy interventions was undertaken.
