PSIGA Framework

A Guide to the UK PSTI Act for Building Operators

In response to the regulatory landscape outlined by the UK PSTI Act, we are pleased to introduce the PSIGA: Product Security IoT Governance Architecture. This framework addresses security gaps related to the Internet of Things (IoT), specifically designed for facilities management (FM) companies.

The PSIGA framework consists of five essential modules that translate regulatory requirements into actionable strategies for building operators:

PSIGA-PROCURE: Seamlessly integrate security considerations into your procurement processes.

PSIGA-CREDENTIAL: Implement measures to eliminate changeable default passwords, enhancing device security from the start.

PSIGA-LIFECYCLE: Develop and execute strategies for effective management of device lifecycles, including handling end-of-life devices responsibly.

PSIGA-COORDINATE: Establish and streamline vulnerability response processes to ensure swift action is taken against potential threats.

PSIGA-CLASSIFY: Clearly define the scope of PSTI requirements for building devices, ensuring compliance and safeguarding operations.

This structured approach ensures that each module aligns with the overarching PSTI regulations, helping organizations integrate security into their operational frameworks effectively.

In the current landscape, building IoT security is not merely a technical challenge for IT departments. It has evolved into a governance issue that must be managed comprehensively across the entire organization, reinforcing the crucial role of security protocols in FM operations.
