BS ISO/IEC 27402:2023 is the UK's national implementation of ISO/IEC 27402:2023, developed by IST/33/4 Technical Committee. This standard establishes a globally unified baseline requirement framework for security challenges brought about by the explosive growth of IoT devices. With the emergence of vertical standards such as ETSI EN 303 645, this standard provides basic security specifications for cross-industry applications.
| Control Domain | Mandatory Requirements | Recommended Practices |
|---|---|---|
| Risk Management | Risk assessment must be performed and documented at the device level (5.1.1.1) | ISO 31000 methodology is recommended (5.1.1.2) |
| Data Protection | Cryptographic technology must be used to protect stored and transmitted data (5.2.5.1.4) | Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) implementation (5.2.5.3) |
| Firmware Update | The update process needs to verify integrity and authenticity (5.2.7.1.1) | Automatic update mechanism configuration options (5.2.7.2) |
Standard 5.2.6.1.4 requires replacing the default key. It is recommended to adopt:
For the requirements of clause 5.2.7, typical implementation plans include:
Phase-based implementation path:
| Phase | Key tasks | Acceptance indicators |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Preparation period | Establish a risk assessment process that complies with 5.1.1 | Form a Statement of Applicability (SoA) document |
| 2. Development period | Implement 5.2.5 data protection requirements | Pass FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certification |
| 3. Operation and maintenance period | Establish vulnerability disclosure process (5.1.3) | Comply with ISO/IEC 29147 specification |
Note: This standard does not replace the requirements of Schedule 1 of the UK PSTI regulations (see the national preface) and must also meet the relevant regulations on UKCA marking.
