System
Criterion Value Proof(s) Comment
Authentication with other systems Full [4] Ultra 2 integrates with multiple ecosystems for smart home functionality
Communications Encrypted with up-to-date encryption [5] Communications are encrypted, but cloud must decrypt to enable features like activity zones
Storage Encrypted with up-to-date encryption [6] Arlo uses encrypted communications and likely encrypts stored footage, but full “end-to-end” storage encryption is not confirmed
Category score 1
User Authentication
Criterion Value Proof(s) Comment
Account management Full [7] Users can manage their account via app/web, including trusted devices, 2FA, linked devices
Authentication Secure [8] Arlo requires two-step verification for all users, adding an extra layer beyond just password
Brute-force protection Exist [] The 2FA mechanism and login alerts imply some protection against brute-force attacks
Event logging Access event logged [9] The system logs login attempts, warns the user, and allows viewing / removal of logged-in devices
Passwords Require change after setup with complexity requirements [10] Users can change their password; default or weak passwords are discouraged especially since 2FA is mandatory
