PECB course profile and credential requirements
Frequently asked questions about this course
Do I need programming experience for Foundation?
No. PECB specifies no prerequisites; the focus is IoT security and privacy.
Is this only about smart-home devices?
No. ISO/IEC 27400 addresses risks, protection principles and controls for IoT solutions generally, not only private households.
Why are default passwords a problem for IoT devices?
Identical preset passwords make attacks against many devices easier. Secure, individual credentials are an important starting point.
Is an encrypted IoT device automatically privacy-friendly?
No. Data collection, purposes and impacts on individuals also matter. Encryption alone does not answer those questions.
Which security capabilities should I question when buying a device?
Ask about device identification, access protection, protected configuration and updates. Required capabilities depend on the use case and risk.
Why must I consider the app and cloud service too?
IoT security often involves several connected components. Protected hardware alone says little about connected services and data flows.
Does Foundation make my organisation ISO 27400-certified?
No. ISO/IEC 27400 provides guidelines. The PECB Foundation credential concerns your assessed knowledge, not organisational certification.
Is experience required for Foundation certification?
No. PECB requires no professional or project experience for this credential, but requires passing the exam and accepting its ethics code.
