Smart devices, big risks: Data protection strategies for IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is evolving rapidly and today connects billions of devices - from smart home applications and medical wearables to industrial systems. These devices generate vast amounts of personal data and are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks, insecure default settings, or opaque data processing practices.

In this white paper, Daniel Kluge illustrates why data protection in IoT is one of the central challenges of digital transformation. It explains the relevant legal frameworks such as GDPR, NIS2, the AI Act, and the Data Governance Act, and provides practical guidance for companies and users. Drawing on real-world examples, from smart home devices to industrial IoT, the white paper demonstrates how risks can be reduced, compliance ensured, and secure, trustworthy IoT ecosystems established.
