The AK Touch Secure™ smart lock from Kenrick has once again underlined its outstanding security credentials, achieving Secured by Design accreditation and IASME IoT Cyber Assurance Level Two, the highest level available under the Secure Connected Device scheme.
Andy Meakin, Sales and Marketing Manager at Kenrick, said: “Consumers rightly want to be confident that their smart home technologies are secure and safe from attack. With these new accreditations, they can be assured that the AK Touch Secure™ meets the most demanding security criteria.”
The Police Preferred Specification from Secured by Design confirms that the AK Touch Secure™ has been tested to rigorous security standards and certified by an independent body accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). The Secure Connected Device accreditation, overseen by Secured by Design and cybersecurity certification company IASME, recognises products that meet high levels of cybersecurity.
Achieving IASME IoT Cyber Assurance Level Two demonstrates that the AK Touch Secure™ not only complies with but exceeds current government required standards. Andy added: “By investing IASME IoT Cyber Assurance Level Two testing we can continue to enhance the AK Touch Secure™ and provide the strong protection our brand is known for.”
With these latest accreditations, the AK Touch Secure™ is fast becoming one of the industry’s go-to smart door locking solutions. Compatible with any door handle fitted with a Kenrick 3 Star Locking Cylinder, it can be installed in minutes without major modifications. The lock can be operated via touch-sensitive technology, a secure keypad, or voice control with Google Home or Alexa, with the reassurance of a manual key override. Its dedicated app offers remote locking and unlocking, real-time status checks, access logs and the option to grant temporary timed access – ideal for Airbnb hosts or contractors.
As the number of cyberattacks on Internet of Things (IoT) devices continues to rise with attacks doubling to 1.51 billion globally between 2020 and 2021¹ robustly accredited solutions such as the AK Touch Secure™ are more important than ever. By choosing the AK Touch Secure™, installers and homeowners can be confident they are investing in a smart lock designed to withstand both digital and physical threats.
