Overview

oSIST prEN 304 634 V1.0.0:2026 is a harmonised European standard developed by SIST and based on the work of ETSI. This standard specifies cybersecurity requirements for personal wearables, ensuring compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and other relevant European regulatory frameworks. As personal wearable devices-such as fitness trackers, health monitors, and smartwatches-continue rapid adoption, robust cybersecurity becomes imperative to protect end users and uphold data protection.

The main objective of this standard is to establish clear, actionable cybersecurity requirements for the design, implementation, operation, and maintenance of personal wearable products. The scope spans a wide range of functionalities and use cases, from health monitoring to parental controls and location-based services.

Key Topics

The standard covers several critical cybersecurity domains for personal wearable technology:

• Appropriate Level of Cybersecurity
  Ensures wearables are designed with an adequate baseline of protection against known and emerging threats, including mechanisms to inform users if certain security functions are unavailable.

• No Known Exploitable Vulnerabilities
  Requires proactive security updates and processes to address any identified vulnerabilities before the product's first use and throughout its lifecycle.

• Secure Configuration by Default
  Mandates secure factory settings, including authentication, automated updates, parental control, and state-of-the-art cryptography, to protect against unauthorized access and exploitation.

• Security Updates
  Establishes requirements for secure software update mechanisms, including support for automated, user-initiated, and postponed updates, as well as update notifications.

• Authentication and Access Control
  Describes requirements for robust access management, least-privilege authorization, role revocation, and support for parental controls.

• Confidentiality and Integrity Protection
  Addresses storage and communication security to safeguard confidential and integrity-relevant data, as well as user notifications during audio/video capture.

• Data Minimisation
  Sets expectations for justifying data collection and ensuring that only necessary personal data is processed.

• Availability and Resilience
  Provides guidance on restoration after power or network loss, scheduling updates, and ensuring local operation.

• Attack Surface Minimisation and Exploit Mitigation
  Advocates for reducing unnecessary interfaces, secure boot methods, and privileged access management to minimize potential attack vectors.

• Monitoring and Logging
  Outlines logging requirements across different risk classes of wearables, including event handling, timestamping, and log persistence.

Applications

Adherence to oSIST prEN 304 634 V1.0.0:2026 supports manufacturers, designers, and service providers of personal wearable technologies in:

• Ensuring product compliance with EU cyber resilience and data protection regulations
• Reducing the risk of cyberattacks, privacy breaches, and exploitation
• Enhancing user confidence and marketability of wearable devices
• Simplifying the conformity assessment process for market entry within the European Economic Area (EEA)
• Integrating industry best practices for secure configuration, user notification, and parental controls
• Protecting special categories of users, including children and health data subjects, in accordance with strict data security norms

Related Standards

For comprehensive cybersecurity and data protection in the personal wearables ecosystem, stakeholders should consider integration and alignment with the following standards:

• ETSI EN 303 645: Cyber security for consumer Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• ISO/IEC 27001: Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) requirements
• ISO/IEC 29147: Vulnerability disclosure
• EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA): Regulatory framework for cybersecurity in digital products
• EU GDPR: Data protection and privacy for individuals within the EU and EEA

oSIST prEN 304 634 V1.0.0:2026 provides essential guidance for cybersecurity requirements covering the entire lifecycle of personal wearables, supporting manufacturers and users with robust, future-proof protections in an increasingly interconnected environment.
