19 Feb Legal by Design – Being IoT Lawful from the Start
Episode 42
The business counterpart to IoT security is risk, loosely defined as probability times liability. The current narrative around liability is centered on privacy but it turns out that laws, regulations and cyber security in general are some of the other elements in the IoT liability matrix. In this episode of the IoT Business Show I speak with Mark Radcliffe about the current IoT legal framework and the potential liabilities to address early on in the IoT product development cycle.
In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Mark Radcliffe about the current IoT legal framework and the potential liabilities to address early on in the IoT product development cycle.

PII or personally identifiable information isn’t the only data of value captured by the Internet of Things. Having a 24 hour a day, seven days a week view into your customer’s business opens you up to legal liabilities that must be systematically dealt with to reduce risk. Mark provides us with a primer on IoT law going beyond the well trodden privacy path.
