As a follow up to our post “FCC Request for Comments for Labeling of IoT Devices”, the Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has announced that the Commission will vote at its March 14, 2024, Open Meeting on creating a voluntary cybersecurity labeling program.
The Commission will consider a Report and Order to create a voluntary cybersecurity labeling program for wireless consumer Internet of Things (IoT) products, which would help consumers make informed purchasing decisions, differentiate trustworthy products in the marketplace, and create incentives for manufacturers to meet higher cybersecurity standards. (PS Docket No. 23-239)
Under the new Order, the FCC Label would include the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark and a QR Code linking to a product registry. The registry would display consumer-friendly information about the security of products bearing the Cyber Trust Mark.
