This is all well and good. You can have thousands of "mark of approvals", but is the most important item needed required ? User upgradability if the Company Folds or Sunsets the product. When that happens, the user will need to buy a new device or live with comprised devices. Most will live with the comprised device. So, IMO, the product should be fully open source and easily upgraded in order to get the Cyber Trust Mark.

> User upgradability if the Company Folds or Sunsets the product. This isn't something which a company can meaningfully guarantee to consumers. Even if it's technically possible for users to install their own software on a device - for that matter, even if the company goes out of their way to support it by releasing documentation and source code - there simply isn't interest from developers to build and maintain custom software for those devices. And the same goes for devices which depend on online services - those services cost money to run, and the number of users capable and willing to run their own is miniscule.
