Disclaimer​

IoT security (like any aspect of information security) is not absolute and can never be guaranteed. New vulnerabilities are constantly being discovered, which means there is a need to monitor, maintain and review both policy and practice as they relate to specific use cases and operating environments on a regular basis. IoTSF is a non-profit organisation which publishes IoT security best practice guidance materials. Materials published by IoTSF include contributions from security practitioners, researchers, industrially experienced staff and other relevant sources from IoTSF membership and partners. IoTSF has a multi-stage process designed to develop contemporary best practice with a quality assurance peer review prior to publication. While IoTSF provides information in good faith and makes every effort to supply correct, current and high-quality guidance, IoTSF provides all materials (including this document) solely on an ‘as is’ basis without any express or implied warranties, undertakings or guarantees. The contents of this document are provided for general information only and do not purport to be comprehensive. No representation, warranty, assurance or undertaking (whether express or implied) is or will be made, and no responsibility or liability to a recipient or user of this document or to any third party is or will be accepted by IoTSF or any of its members (or any of their respective officers, employees or agents), in connection with this document or any use of it, including in relation to the adequacy, accuracy, completeness or timeliness of this document or its contents. Any such responsibility or liability is expressly disclaimed. Nothing in this document excludes any liability for: (i) death or personal injury caused by negligence; or (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
