The United States has launched the US Cyber Trust Mark, a voluntary cyber security labelling programme for wireless consumer Internet of Things (IoT) products run by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Key points
- Products are tested by accredited laboratories against NIST-based IoT security criteria.
- Eligible products can display the Cyber Trust Mark logo.
- A QR code links to security information, such as the support period for security updates.
- Covers consumer devices such as smart home products, cameras and fitness trackers.
- The FCC adopted the programme rules in March 2024.
UK manufacturers selling connected devices in the US should consider applying for the label. It complements the UK Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure regime.
