Watchtower Security Solutions first temporary CCTV solution to receive Secure Connected Device accreditation

Achieving the SBD Secure Connected Device accreditation: A UK first for temporary CCTV solutions.

Watchtower Security Solutions has received the SBD Secure Connected Device accreditation, making it the first temporary CCTV solution in the UK with this certification. In total, only 16 companies (in different industries) have received this certification by Secured by Design, the official police security initiative that is owned by the UK Police Service. 

In 2022, SBD introduced the ‘Secure Connected Device’ (SCD) accreditation scheme in-line with government legislation for companies providing Internet of Things (IoT) connected products. Without the appropriate levels of security, any internet connected device or app is at risk of providing cyber criminals with the ‘key’ in accessing and stealing personal data. 

Watchtower has already received the IASME IoT Cyber Assurance Level 1 and Level 2 accreditation showing clients and business partners that we manage information and data securely. With the Secure Connected Device accreditation, we show again that our products have the appropriate and relevant IoT standards, providing our customers (and the public) with security assurance.
