  1. Monitor NIST’s draft list, which is regularly updated (IR 8579 is there now). csrc.nist.govcsrc.nist.gov

  2. Review SP 800‑124r2 in full—it’s currently the most up‑to‑date NIST guidance on mobile device security.

  3. Await a new draft IR—they may publish a fresh mobile‑focused guide in the coming months.
