Practical Internet of Things Security - Second Edition

A complex compliance environment

As a security professional, you are responsible for being compliant with security standards that have been published for the industries within which you operate. Many organizations are faced with meeting regulatory standards that span multiple industries. For example, a pharmacy may be responsible for being compliant with HIPAA as well as PCI regulations, because it must protect both patient data and financial transactions.

These concepts still apply to the IoT; some of the things are new, but the information types and protection mandates have been around for some time.
