Software Update: A device’s software should be updatable using a secure and configurable mechanism.
Data Protection: It should be clear how the IoT device protects the data that it stores and sends over the network from unauthorized access and modification.

Another day I'll tell you the most common security flaws you can find when auditing these devices, but I recommend reading before buying or else belong to prehistory and give cologne. On the link you have a preview
