Overview
Does your company produce IoT devices to be sold or exported to Japan?
Japan has launched JC-STAR, a cybersecurity labeling scheme for IoT products capable of communicating with the internet. The scheme helps demonstrate that products have been assessed against common cybersecurity requirements, making product security more visible to customers, business partners and regulators.
The Japan Cyber-Security Technical Assessment Requirements (JC-STAR) is structured across four STAR levels. STAR-1 covers baseline security requirements and is currently open for label application through Japan’s Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA). STAR-2, STAR-3 and STAR-4 are under development, with mandatory third-party evaluation expected for STAR-3 and STAR-4.
For companies preparing for STAR-1, the process is not only about understanding the technical requirements. Applications must currently be submitted in Japanese, with the right documents and conformance information prepared for IPA review.
Join this webinar to understand what JC-STAR means for IoT products targeting Japan, how the STAR-1 application and conformance checklist work, and what your team can do now to prepare for a smoother submission process.
