What this page is for
Press and media
We can talk about how manufacturers actually ship credentials, what the PSTI Act changed in the UK, and what two decades of this data shows. Tell us your publication and your deadline and we will work to it.
Republishing or licensing the data
People use the directory in training material, internal documentation, research and tooling. Tell us what you want to use and where it will appear, and we will come back with terms — attribution is usually all we ask.
Corrections
If a record is wrong, we want to know. The useful version names the manufacturer and model, says what the entry should be, and tells us where you checked — a vendor manual or a device in front of you. Corrections with a source get made the same week.
