Secure your connected devices before attackers exploit them
Specialized penetration testing for IoT, smart devices, embedded systems, and connected products. From firmware analysis to radio frequency attacks: we find vulnerabilities that traditional security testing misses.
Why IoT security testing matters
Connected and smart devices now underpin core business operations and products. Yet many IoT and embedded systems reach production with security treated as a secondary concern - expanding attack surfaces and increasing operational, regulatory, and brand risk.
IoT security risks organizations face
IoT and embedded devices present unique security challenges that traditional IT security approaches don't address.
Black box devices
Proprietary hardware and firmware with no visibility into what's running inside. You don't know what vulnerabilities exist until it's too late.
Weak authentication
Default credentials, hardcoded passwords, and weak authentication schemes. Many devices ship with security disabled by default.
Difficult updates
Firmware updates are complex, risky, or impossible. Vulnerabilities discovered post-deployment may never get patched.
Wireless attack surface
Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRaWAN, and proprietary RF protocols create invisible attack vectors that traditional security misses.
Sensitive data exposure
Encryption keys, credentials, and sensitive data stored insecurely in firmware or transmitted in the clear.
Cloud backend security
IoT devices connect to cloud services with APIs and backends that may have their own vulnerabilities affecting all connected devices.
Supply chain risks
Third-party components, SDKs, and libraries embedded in firmware may contain vulnerabilities or even backdoors.
Physical access attacks
Attackers can physically access devices, extracting firmware, manipulating debug ports, or cloning devices entirely.
Regulatory pressure
EU Cyber Resilience Act, PSTI Act, and industry regulations now mandate IoT security. Non-compliance means market access issues.
The business value of in-depth IoT security testing
Gain a clear, defensible view of the security posture of your connected and smart products - before vulnerabilities result in incidents, regulatory findings, or customer impact.

Frequently asked questions
We test a wide range of connected devices including industrial IoT (IIoT), medical devices, smart home products, automotive systems, wearables, smart meters, building automation, and custom embedded systems. If it has firmware and connectivity, we can test it.
For comprehensive testing, yes. We need at least 2-3 units of the target device. Hardware security assessment and firmware extraction typically require physical access. Remote-only testing is possible but limits coverage to network/API attacks.
Some advanced hardware testing (like chip decapping or invasive probing) is destructive. We always discuss which tests might be destructive and get approval before proceeding. Most testing is non-destructive, but we recommend providing spare units.
IoT testing requires specialized skills and equipment. We analyze hardware interfaces, reverse engineer firmware, test wireless protocols with SDR, and assess physical security, none of which are covered in traditional network or web penetration testing.
Absolutely, this is the ideal time. Testing during development allows you to fix issues before manufacturing scales up. We integrate with your SDLC and can test prototypes, development units, and pre-production devices.
We test Bluetooth/BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRaWAN, WiFi, NFC/RFID, cellular (2G-5G), and proprietary RF protocols. Our SDR equipment covers 1 MHz to 6 GHz, allowing analysis of most commercial IoT wireless communications.
Yes. After identifying firmware security issues, we provide detailed recommendations for secure boot implementation, firmware encryption, code signing, and secure update mechanisms tailored to your device's constraints.
All testing is conducted under strict NDA. We maintain isolated lab environments, secure storage for devices and data, and can work on-site if required. We follow responsible disclosure and never publish findings without authorization.
Yes. The CRA mandates security requirements for products with digital elements. We help you understand requirements, assess current compliance, identify gaps, and provide evidence for conformity assessment.
We can assess IoT devices in production environments with appropriate safeguards. This includes network-level testing, API security, and cloud backend assessment. We avoid tests that could disrupt production operations.
