IoT Security Risk Assessment

Our team of experts have specialized experience with IoT device security. We work with IoT device manufacturers to ensure your devices do not pose a security risk.

Why IoT Security Matters

IoT devices introduce risks traditional applications don’t face:

Physical Exposure: Devices in customer environments can be tampered with or reverse engineered
Firmware Vulnerabilities: Hardcoded credentials, insecure updates, and configuration weaknesses persist throughout device lifetime
Long Lifecycles: Devices remain in service for years, making unpatched vulnerabilities a persistent risk
Communication Security: Must properly validate certificates, encrypt data, and resist man-in-the-middle attacks
Regulatory Risk: EU Cyber Resilience Act (2027) and other emerging standards require IoT security validation

What We Test

Hardware & Device Security

Physical teardown and PCB inspection
Debug interface identification (UART, SWD, JTAG, SPI)
Hardware security feature verification

Firmware & Configuration

Firmware extraction and analysis (when feasible or provided)
Search for hardcoded credentials, keys, certificates
Configuration security review
Update mechanism and signing verification

Client-Side Cloud Communication

TLS/SSL certificate validation testing
Man-in-the-middle resistance
WebSocket/MQTT protocol security
Plaintext fallback detection

3. Penetration Testing

Using various activities in alignment with OWASP’s IoT Security Verifcation Standard (ISVS) to identify we look to identify any security vulnerabilities.

This includes testing the physical IoT devices along with wireless interfaces, authentication and access control, etc.

4. Finalization

Concluding our assessment, we provide an IoT Security Risk Assessment Report that includes all risks and recommended controls.

We ensure your team fully understands the priority and remediation efforts required (based on impact and likelihood) to support business risk management decisions.
