How to conduct an IoT audit for compliance
What is included in an IoT audit?
To start preparation for an IoT audit, create a list of everything that may connect to the internet, especially assets that affect business operations. A comprehensive IoT inventory should include office desktop systems, laptops, printers, scanners, copiers and fax machines. Include all networked devices in a data center, whether they are located on-site, colocated in another location or in a cloud. Examine social media, as well as external organizations that have frequent connections, such as key clients and vendors.
This list should also include closed-circuit television security systems; physical access control systems, such as proximity card access, HVAC systems, and fire detection and suppression systems; building lighting systems; and backup power systems, such as external diesel generators. Include vending machines, microwave ovens, coffee makers, smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, internal television systems, video conference systems and even office building garage door openers in the list as well.
