U.S. Regulatory and Legal Risks Raised by the Sale of IoT Products
Webinar | 12.16.21, 8:00 AM EST - 9:00 AM EST
The regulation of connected devices is an ongoing process at the federal and state level, and manufacturers have to contend with a variety of stringent regulations. For example, California’s IoT cybersecurity law went into effect at the beginning of 2020 and requires the manufacturer of a connected device include “a reasonable security feature or features that are…[d]esigned to protect the device and any information contained therein from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure.” A number of other states, including Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, and Oregon, have passed, or are considering similar laws. The federal government is also very interested in this area, and multiple U.S. federal agencies have authority over different aspects of IoT devices.
This webinar will discuss some of the key regulatory and legal risks that companies must contend with if they plan to sell IoT products in the United States, including:
• Federal regulatory requirements from agencies such as the FTC and CPSC;
• Federal procurement requirements, including the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act;
• The liability profile when IoT software meets hardware that can present safety risks
• Managing the data amassed by these products; and
• Best practices to consider when designing and selling such products, including building an IoT compliance program.

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
