Research

Independent studies of regulations, standards and market practice, the same analysis our advisors bring to your products.

We publish what we learn. The studies below map the regulations that apply to connected products around the world, the standards they rely on and how those standards depend on each other, how manufacturers handle vulnerability disclosure in practice, and how the market for secure components is organised. They are free, independent and updated as the regulations evolve, and they are the material our advisors use in client work.
