Compliance Is Catching Up to Connected Devices — Is Your Organization Ready?

Jul 22, 2025

There was a time when IoT device compliance could be managed with internal spreadsheets and vendor checklists. Maybe a firmware version was logged in to a shared drive, and a self-attestation was emailed for good measure.

That time is over.

The legal and operational rules are tightening across industries. From the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act to the FCC’s Cyber Trust Mark, organizations are now expected to prove that their IoT connected devices are secure, documented and actively managed.

What’s changed isn’t just the volume of regulation; it’s the expectation that compliance be continuous, that you know what each device is, what it’s running, what hardware components are inside the device, who made it and where and when it reaches end-of-life, that you can produce an SBOM when asked, and that your governance doesn’t start with the audit — it’s already built in.

Why Legacy Tools Fall Short

In many enterprises, that level of oversight just doesn’t exist.

Devices are tracked and managed by different teams. Spreadsheets sit in disconnected silos and when compliance leaders ask for a report, pulling one together means tapping into five systems, three vendors and a lot of guesswork. There is no detailed visibility into all your IoT devices on your networks.

SomosID™ changes that.

SomosID is a proven government registry, secure cloud-based system of record for connected IoT devices — pulling together everything from make, model, and serial number to firmware status, wireless and product certifications, network identifiers, and software bill of materials.

There will be no more scattered logs or multiple places to hunt, no more audit fire drills and just clear, centralized visibility into the IoT devices in your system.

Compliance That Scales with You

SomosID is built for enterprise and government teams that need to move fast, prove accountability and stay aligned with evolving mandates. It brings structure to what was previously ad hoc and gives compliance leaders a foundation for long-term governance, not just one-off reporting.

Whether you’re preparing for new cybersecurity labeling, addressing SBOM requirements or aligning with frameworks like NIST 800-213 or ISO/IEC 27400, SomosID helps you get there with less friction and more control.
