That smart HVAC controller in your building? It passed security assessment. Deployed with confidence.
Then it automatically downloaded a firmware update with new AI features.
Now it's a completely different device than the one you assessed.
But you never re-assessed it.
Modern IoT increasingly uses AI/ML. These devices learn. They adapt. They change behavior over operational time.
Assessment frameworks treat devices as static. "Does it meet standard X?" One-time check. Deploy forever.
But AI-enabled devices aren't static. They learn, drift, evolve.
SBCGA-CONFORM: AI-aware conformity assessment
Establish baseline behavior at deployment
Monitor for behavioral drift
Re-assess when devices change
Maintain conformity as devices learn
Your smart devices shouldn't be black boxes. They should be auditable, monitorable, re-assessable systems that maintain compliance even as they learn.
