Use this guide to turn official requirements into scope, evidence, owner, and review decisions. This guidance is practical, source-linked, and should be validated against current legal and policy requirements before implementation. This page helps you determine which UK PSTI Product Security duties apply, who owns each action, required evidence, and the review path for escalation decisions. A Statement of Compliance is the document that must accompany a relevant connectable product, and the manufacturer must produce it while importers and distributors make sure the product is not supplied without it. ## How should a Statement Of Compliance Workflow run under UK PSTI Product Security? Run the workflow as PSTI product triage: scope the product, classify the role, verify the three security requirements, approve the statement, and prepare OPSS-response evidence. The Statement of Compliance is the document that must accompany the product, and the manufacturer must include the information in schedule 4 while importers and distributors check that the product is not made available without it. - Capture the request, product, role, data flow, jurisdiction, and deadline. - Check whether the product is a relevant connectable product under section 4 and review schedule 1 and schedule 4 before approval. - Record the action taken, owner, reviewer, evidence location, and next review date. - Keep a plain-language output that support, product, legal, security, and compliance teams can all understand.

A useful workflow captures product identifiers, manufacturer, importer or distributor role, security requirement evidence, support-period wording, statement approver, supply-chain checks, and review trigger. - Source URL and source quote. - Entity, product, service, system, data category, and user group. - Decision result, control action, owner, reviewer, due date, and escalation reason. - Evidence attachment, approval note, exception note, and review cadence.

Review the workflow after firmware changes, supplier changes, product bundling changes, UK market placement changes, vulnerability reports, OPSS notices, or support-period updates. - Track recurring exception categories and update intake questions. - Remove fields that never affect the decision. - Add fields when reviews show missing source evidence or unclear ownership. - Confirm generated markdown and page content include the same visible source-linked guidance.
