What California SB-327 Security of Connected Devices (Civil Code 1798.91.04-.06) requires

California SB-327 added Civil Code Sections 1798.91.04 through 1798.91.06, requiring a manufacturer of a connected device to equip the device with a reasonable security feature or features. Section 1798.91.04(a) requires security features appropriate to the nature and function of the device, appropriate to the information it may collect, contain, or transmit, and designed to protect the device and any information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure. Section 1798.91.04(b) deems security reasonable for a device with a means of authentication outside a local area network if either the preprogrammed password is unique to each device, or the device requires a user to generate a new means of authentication before access is granted for the first time. Section 1798.91.05 sets definitions and Section 1798.91.06 sets scope, exemptions, no private right of action, and enforcement by the Attorney General, a city attorney, a county counsel, or a district attorney.
