ProIoT Update Vault
A compliance-as-a-service platform that gives IoT device manufacturers a drop-in secure OTA update mechanism with audit trails, vulnerability disclosure policy hosting, and an end-of-life policy generator—all pre-configured to satisfy emerging FCC IoT security update mandates.
Target Audience
Lean hardware startups and mid-sized consumer electronics manufacturers (smart locks, baby monitors, connected appliances) with no dedicated security team. They currently push firmware updates via an unsigned S3 bucket and pray.
Why Now
Ask HN this week: 'I'm an FCC Commissioner proposing regulation of IoT security updates' directly created this regulatory pressure. The proposal is live now, and manufacturers have no off-the-shelf compliance tool. Product Hunt shows no competitor; the window between regulation announcement and market enforcement is open.
