As the Internet of Things (IoT) expands and becomes more prevalent in our daily lives, there is an urgent need to ensure security and compliance with data protection laws. This study addresses the critical importance of security and legal compliance in IoT. By addressing regulatory compliance gaps and developing personalized security methods, we aim to make a meaningful contribution to the academic and professional community. We propose an approach to provide tailored protection measures for various IoT devices, ensuring compliance with data protection laws in different jurisdictions. This proposal aims to fill compliance gaps and provide specific and effective solutions to mitigate security risks. The ongoing evolution of these approaches can further facilitate IoT’s ethical and secure integration into our rapidly transforming society.
