Nowadays, cyber threats have become increasingly more sophisticated and the need to safeguard a business and its data has never been more important. In the UK, this need has been met with April’s implementation of the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act 2022.
This new legislation aims to increase the standards for cybersecurity across internet-connected products, from smart TVs to HCM devices to access control systems. At Grosvenor Technology, we’re committed to the safety and security of our customers, and our recent achievement of PSTI 2022 compliance certification demonstrates our dedication to the protection of our customers and their data.
What is the PSTI Act?
The Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act is a UK law that establishes mandatory security requirements for ‘smart’ products – those products that connect to the internet. It aims to protect consumers and businesses from cyberattacks by ensuring products are designed with security in mind from the outset.
The PSTI outlines specific requirements, including:
- Stronger Passwords: Default passwords are banned.
- Vulnerability Reporting: Manufacturers must have a clear vulnerability disclosure policy.
- Transparent Support: Customers must be aware of the defined support period of a device where security updates are available.
