Dear ESB
I asked representatives from the Regulatory Watch WG to provide a response from IoTSF on UK DSIT’s call for views on Enterprise Security.
If you have interest/views on this, please find the responses attached for information.
Specifically:
I respect the group’s expertise on each of the security principles hence happy to run with them (hope you are too – but let me know if not!).
I’d be more interested to know what you think on the policy approach (section 3) before we submit – do you agree, disagree, have a more nuanced view?
No need to respond if you do not have time or have little interest – I’ll be grateful for any views before we officially submit… which will be immediately after the ‘members-only’ webinar given by DSIT next Thursday 12th June at 11 am (joining details can be found on Basecamp in the Plenary area if you want to join – essential information copied below for your convenience).
In this webinar we'll provide an overview of the future policy interventions being considered and the principles in the new proposed Code of Practice for Enterprise Connected Device Security.
Please ask any questions in advance and they'll be put to Warda and Matt H5.
Register now for this DSIT special webinar taking place on Thursday 12th June 2025: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zBXwRqk_QBybTnj2x0cGdQ
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has launched a Call for Views on Enterprise Connected Device Security<https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/call-for-views-on-enterpri…>.
