In March 2020, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (“IMDA“) launched an Internet of Things (“IoT“) Cyber Security Guide (“Guide“) to offer enterprise users and their vendors better guidance on deploying IoT technology. The Guide aims to help enterprise users and their vendors address the cyber security aspects of IoT systems in the acquisition, development, operation and maintenance of these systems.
To help the Facilities Management (“FM“) industry in the implementation of security requirements of smart IoT FM systems, IMDA sought to enhance the Guide with a new annex (“Annex C“), which is a case study on Smart Buildings. To solicit feedback on the proposed Annex C, IMDA issued a Public Consultation on 29 July 2022, which was open for a period of six weeks.
Annex C of the Guide has now been finalised and published on 1 December 2022. IMDA has indicated that it has carefully considered all the suggestions and comments received in the Public Consultation and has revised Annex C to incorporate the applicable inputs to enhance the clarity and applicability of Annex C, while ensuring that Annex C remains succinct to be useful.
