As cybersecurity concerns grow, the U.S. government is ensuring that consumer Internet of Things (IoT) products meet stringent security standards. The U.S. Cyber Trust Mark is poised to become a key cybersecurity labeling program for IoT devices. Manufacturers of smart consumer products, like connected home appliances and fitness trackers, can apply for the label.
The program aims to provide transparency into device security and strengthen national cybersecurity resilience. Beginning in 2027, the Department of Defense and other federal agencies will require this label for procurement. This signals a shift toward standardized security benchmarks across the industry.

IoT Market Access and Competitive Strategies for Cyber Trust Mark Requirements
For IoT manufacturers, obtaining this mark is about more than compliance. It is key to market access in federal and commercial sectors. Businesses must align their strategies with these requirements to stay competitive.
However, recent regulatory developments have introduced challenges. Companies using components from entities listed under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Section 1260H are barred from obtaining the Cyber Trust Mark. This restriction forces companies to reassess their sourcing strategies and compliance frameworks.
