New development – Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill

The Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill received Royal Assent and became law on 6 December 2022.

The new law requires device manufacturers, importers and distributors to guarantee that their products meet minimum security standards during all design stages.

Businesses could face fines of up to £10m or 4% of global revenue (whichever is higher) for non-compliance.

Details of the security requirements will be laid out in the supporting regulations which are yet to be published.
