Summary

The IoT is still in its infancy, and while compliance is certainly a dicey subject, the most important, overarching goal in setting up a compliance program is to ensure that it is effective and cost-effective overall. In this chapter, you were introduced to a variety of compliance programs unique to certain industries. In addition, you were provided some important best practices for setting up your own program. While there are still many gaps with regard to IoT standards and frameworks, there are significant developments among standards bodies today that are beginning to close those gaps.

In the next chapter, we will explore cloud security concepts regarding the IoT.
