What are the opportunities and challenges for the IoT?

The Internet of Things (IoT) presents a huge opportunity to transform our lives for the better, with the potential to make an impact across society. But these innovations bring about their own challenges. A lack of industry alignment on standards and interoperability, and concerns over security and privacy are some of the most pressing issues. Manufacturers are looking for solutions to demonstrate their products are secure and cyber risks are minimized, whilst consumers demand products they can trust.

How BSI can help build trust in smart and connected devices?

BSI can help you to address these challenges with our IoT and connected device testing and certification solutions.  We lead the way working collaboratively with manufacturers, network providers and government agencies develop assurance services, so you can build trust and confidence in your products and show they are safe and secure.

From our state-of-the-art IoT laboratory our experts work with clients to address the risks posed by smart and connected devices. We offer assurance with a number of services to reduce risk, support local regulations and built trust.

Services available from BSI

No matter where you are on your product development journey, our team of skilled IoT professionals work with you to reduce risk and identify issues early on, accelerate time to market and build resilience.

Provides an initial indication of risks and any remedial actions that must be undertaken to protect devices, applications or cloud services. Useful at product design stage and can help accelerate and de-risk time-to-market.

When you need independent verification of test data relating to a product we can review all your technical information and files, carry out further tests as appropriate and issue a BSI Verification Certificate. Can help demonstrate that products are secure as appropriate for their intended use.

Independent certification to help differentiate your device, enhance your reputation and boost customer confidence. Devices are tested for functionality, interoperability and security initially and on an ongoing basis to make sure that standards do not slip or change over time. The ultimate mark of trust.

We also offer a number of related services including:

UK Government-backed certification programme designed to enable you to put in place the security procedures and measures to help protect your organization and to keep your data safe and secure.

Independently testing of websites or mobile apps to make sure they have the security controls in place for the information they are handling.

BSI works in partnership with The Police Digital Security Centre in the UK (PDSC) so that SME’s with a lower cyber risk can apply for the Digitally Aware certificate. Organizations with a higher exposure of risk to cyber-crime are offered the opportunity to obtain a Digitally Resilient certificate with BSI.

What devices can BSI test and certify?

We can test, assess and certify a wide range of products for applications across the built environment, in the home, in industry, for mobility solutions or in healthcare, amongst others. This includes wearables, smart home appliances, connected devices for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), or products used to track health and wellbeing embracing the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). We can also examine the entire connected ecosystem including routers, chip sets, mobile applications and Bluetooth devices.
