We ask you to look at the facts: DJI already adopts the standards outlined in the FBI’s recent memo. Indeed, many agencies and enterprises also employ those standards when using DJI drones…In spite of our rivals’ geopolitically-disguised ploys to eliminate us from the marketplace, DJI simply does not have the data they say we do."

You cannot say that if there’s not any infrastructure or technology built into it to keep the data from not going where it doesn’t need to go." Source: Jon McBride, Chairman, Droning Company

•    "Every agency, regardless of what they’re utilizing, whether that’s a Blue UAS platform, a Chinese drone, or any other system, should always do a data security analysis on any hardware that they’re utilizing that touches the internet. They need to look at what that system is doing and communicating with, and then make the decision as to whether the mitigations that they are wanting to employ meet the data security concerns for their agency and their use case…There needs to be a standardized practice that all drone manufacturers need to be beholden to, regardless of origin, from a data security perspective, and that standard has yet to be set."
