Notice Board
Compliance is mandatory, and the enforcement body, the Office for Product Safety and Standards( OPSS), holds the authority to issue substantial penalties for non-compliance. However, proactive businesses are viewing this legislative shift not as a regulatory hurdle, but as an opportunity to build digital trust.
The Secure Connected Device Accreditation
To assist companies in navigating this digital transition, SBD developed the Secure Connected Device accreditation in consultation with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology( DSIT).
This rigorous program goes beyond the baseline requirements of the PSTI Act, assessing products against all 13 provisions of the ETSI EN 303 645 standard. Achieving this accreditation grants products the SBD Secure Connected Device accreditation badge, signalling to specifiers that their smart technology is resilient against modern cyber threats. Furthermore, an annual appraisal process ensures continued compliance as cyber threats and government frameworks evolve.
