Hikvision has unveiled its 2026 Cybersecurity White Paper, underscoring its dedication to maintaining rigorous and transparent security practices within the AI-driven Internet of Things (AIoT) sector. The latest edition introduces an advanced security framework addressing the emerging digital challenges in the AIoT landscape.
Central to Hikvision's approach is the Hikvision Security Development Maturity Model (HSDMM). This model aims to measure and standardise security procedures throughout the product development lifecycle. By incorporating structured governance, clearly defined management processes, and robust technical measures, the HSDMM serves as the backbone of their security strategy.
Robust technical measures
The 2026 White Paper delves into the HSDMM's three primary dimensions: security governance, processes, and technologies.
Through systematic application of this model, Hikvision boosts product confidentiality, integrity, and availability, providing a dependable digital foundation for IoT deployments worldwide. As technological landscapes shift, the White Paper highlights Hikvision’s efforts across these dimensions, specifically addressing new risks related to data security, privacy, and AI.
Noteworthy updates in this edition include:
- Artificial Intelligence Security: A new chapter evaluates and outlines a protection framework for AI models, assisting partners in navigating security issues during digital transitions.
- Advanced Data Protection: Updated guidelines for data classification and grading introduce security requirements for both edge devices and cloud services.
- Open-Source Software Governance: This section defines management protocols for open-source software, ensuring secure integration through introduction, audit, and release stages.
- Integrated Vulnerability Management: The significance of managing vulnerabilities is emphasized, with procedures for security incident response from detection to mitigation.

Hikvision has released its 2026 Cybersecurity White Paper, marking its ongoing commitment to transparent and robust security practices. The latest edition outlines the company’s advanced security framework, designed to address emerging digital challenges for the AI-powered Internet of Things (AIoT) industry.
At the core of Hikvision’s security strategy is the Hikvision Security Development Maturity Model (HSDMM). Designed to quantify and standardise security activities throughout product development, the HSDMM integrates structured organisational governance, well-defined management processes, and robust technical measures.
Robust technical measures
The 2026 White Paper walks readers through the HSDMM across its three core dimensions: security governance, security processes, and security technologies. By systematically implementing this model, Hikvision enhances product confidentiality, integrity, and availability, establishing a reliable digital foundation for global IoT deployments.
As technology evolves, the 2026 White Paper details Hikvision’s systematic practices across these three HSDMM dimensions, with a particular focus on managing emerging risks related to data security, privacy protection, and Artificial Intelligence. Key updates in the 2026 edition include:
- Artificial Intelligence Security: A newly added chapter systematically evaluates and outlines the protection framework for AI models, helping partners navigate security challenges during smart and digital transitions.
- Advanced Data Protection: The paper introduces updated guidelines for data classification and grading, alongside dedicated security requirements for both edge devices and cloud-based services.
- Open-Source Software Governance: A dedicated section defines stringent management protocols for open-source software—spanning introduction, audit, and release—to ensure secure, closed-loop integration.
- Integrated Vulnerability Management: The paper highlights the critical role of vulnerability management and integrates security incident response processes, covering every key phase from detection to mitigation.
Product lifecycle security
To foster international digital trust, Hikvision actively adopts global best practices and aligns its operations with international standards. In recent years, the company has obtained multiple ISO/IEC certifications for product security and vulnerability handling, alongside compliance alignments with ETSI EN 303645 and NIST CSF 2.0. These milestones reflect the company’s continuous investment in product lifecycle security.
“Security is the cornerstone of smart technology,” said the Chief Security Officer at Hikvision. “By sharing our practical insights through this White Paper, we look forward to collaborating with our partners to build a secure, resilient, and collaborative industry ecosystem.” Looking ahead, Hikvision remains committed to integrating technological research with robust governance, delivering reliable security assurance to support digital transformation across diverse industries.
