Product security evaluation services for IoT consumer products
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the number of consumer IoT devices continues to surge. In 2024, there were over 1.3 billion active consumer IoT connections in Europe alone, with projections expecting 3 billion by 2030. This rapid growth, however, brings new security challenges—hackers exploit vulnerabilities in everything from smart home devices to wearables and connected appliances.
Why IoT security matters
Consumer IoT devices interact with personal data, financial transactions, and even critical infrastructure. A lack of proper cybersecurity measures can lead to data breaches, identity theft, and unauthorized access to smart systems. Governments worldwide are responding with strict regulations to enforce higher cybersecurity standards for connected devices.
Navigating global cybersecurity regulations
New cybersecurity laws are making compliance mandatory:
✅ EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) – Requires IoT products to ensure network security, data protection, and fraud prevention (effective August 2025)
✅ EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) – Establishes strict cybersecurity requirements for all digital products (effective 2024, fully enforced in 2027).
✅ UK PSTI Act – Enforces security standards for consumer IoT devices starting April 2024.
✅ US Cyber Trust Mark – A voluntary labeling scheme to help consumers identify secure IoT products.
How Brightsight helps you
Our independent testing laboratory specializes in evaluating and certifying consumer IoT devices for cybersecurity compliance. We help manufacturers and developers meet stringent global security requirements through:
- Pre-evaluation – Workshops, design reviews, and pre-assessments to identify vulnerabilities early.
- Security testing – Compliance assessments for ETSI EN 303 645, RED Article 3.3 (EN 18031), NIST IR 8259A, and other global standards.
- Certification – Achieve the SGS Cybersecurity Mark, proving your product’s security and compliance.
- Continuous monitoring – post-certification support to ensure your device remains secure over time.
Gain a competitive edge
With cybersecurity regulations evolving, manufacturers who prioritize security will stand out.
Secure and compliant devices means:
✔ Faster market entry – Meet legal requirements before regulations take full effect.
✔ Consumer trust – Show users that your product is safe and privacy-conscious.
✔ Reduced risk – Minimize the chances of cyberattacks and regulatory penalties.
