EN 18031-2:2024 for Compliance Officers
What does EN 18031-2:2024 require of a Compliance Officer?
The harmonised EU standard for the privacy and personal data protection requirement of the Radio Equipment Directive: 40 requirements on internet-connected, childcare, toy and wearable radio equipment covering access control, authentication, secure updates, secure storage, secure communication, logging, deletion, user notification, cryptographic keys, general equipment hygiene and cryptography, each with its own assessment criteria. Under EN 18031-2:2024, which defines 40 controls, a Compliance Officer's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which EN 18031-2:2024 controls land on the Compliance Officer

EN 18031-2:2024 defines 40 controls across 11 domains that directly affect the Compliance Officer role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
