Recommendation 12
12
Paragraph: 102
Work with OPSS to promote data protection and security guidelines for IoT devices.
Conclusion
As the guidelines set out in the 2018 Code of Practice for Consumer IoT Security imply, cybersecurity and data protection are mutually reinforcing. Without cybersecurity, data cannot be meaningfully protected, while data protection can manage the risk and impact of cyberattack. The Information Commissioner’s Office, either bilaterally or through the Digital Regulation Co-operation Forum, which helps co-ordinate regulation of digital platforms and services, should work with the Office for Product Safety and Standards as it promotes the guidelines pertaining to data protection and data security in the 2018 Code of Practice.
