Taiwan IoT Cybersecurity Certification

The list of Taiwan IoT Cybersecurity conformant ACTi cameras (TAICS, TCA)
Taiwan IoT Cybersecurity Certification

Overview

Taiwan Association of Information and Communication Standards (TAICS) and Taipei Computer Association (TCA) are industry organizations in Taiwan.

In addition to industry-led cybersecurity certification mechanisms, Taiwan has also established a national standard — CNS-16120 (Video Surveillance System Security), which defines security requirements for video surveillance systems from a national cybersecurity perspective..

Together, CNS-16120, TAICS, and TCA form a comprehensive cybersecurity framework for video surveillance systems in Taiwan, covering national standards, industry specifications, and product conformity validation.

TAICS and TCA have established Taiwan IoT cybersecurity conformance programs for Video Surveillance System Security to ensure devices meet security-by-design principles and regulatory expectations.

CNS-16120

CNS-16120 is Taiwan’s national standard for Video Surveillance System Security, established to strengthen the cybersecurity protection of video surveillance systems used in public and private sectors.

The standard defines security requirements across the entire lifecycle of a video surveillance system, including device design, network communication, system operation, data protection, and maintenance management. Its objective is to mitigate cybersecurity risks such as unauthorized access, data leakage, system tampering, and service disruption.

CNS-16120 serves as a foundational cybersecurity benchmark for government procurement, critical infrastructure, and high-security environments, and provides a clear compliance reference for manufacturers, system integrators, and solution providers.

TAICS

Taiwan Association of Information and Communication Standards (TAICS) is an industry organization founded in June 2015 with the members from industry, research and academia organizations in Taiwan. 7 technical committees (TC) have been chartered with the focus on Advanced Mobile Communication, Network Communication, Device Internetworking, Audiovisual Services and Communications, Network and Information Security, Intelligent Buildings ICT, and Internet of Vehicles (IoV) & Automated Driving. The objective of TAICS is to bridge the local industry with global standard initiatives/organizations by contributing the study results or consolidated consensus, it may also develop the local standard or study report per request. TAICS is open for the registration by all the companies/organizations with division in Taiwan.

The TAICS conformant ACTi cameras can be found here: https://www.taics.org.tw/Validation00.aspx?Type=2&p=7

Example of the certificate:

TCA

The Digital Industry Administration of the Ministry of Digital Development promotes the information security verification mechanism of mobile applications and the Internet of Things, formulates relevant promotion systems, standards, testing benchmarks, and guides manufacturers to conduct information security inspections for products.

In 2018, the Taipei Computer Association (TCA) was entrusted by the Digital Industry Administration/Information Strategy Committee to serve as the "Mobile App Information Security Authentication System Promotion and Verification Agency".

Since 2016, TCA has been developing IoT information security industry standards and promoting the certification system.
