IoT / Embedded Device Penetration Testing
Providing the cybersecurity assurances you need when it comes to your connected IoT devices
Why test IoT devices?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing at pace and organizations all over the world are starting to realize the benefits these embedded devices can bring to their operations, as well as their employees/customers.
Whether you’re an IoT developer or an end-user, the security of such devices is vital and any breach could potentially cause reputational damage, as well as financial loss. Especially when they are processing sensitive data, where they have access to critical networks/systems within an organization, or crucially, where a potential breach may endanger health.
Our IoT testing
What we review
Embedded devices can be complicated in nature and no two devices are the same. Our testing is tailored to the device under review and our consultants will undertake whatever testing is necessary to fully assess the security of the entire IoT system. This could include:
Device configuration (Application)
Default credentials, password policies, insecure services, device eco-system & architecture
Physical security (Hardware/Firmware)
Identifying weaknesses in the design of the device, extracting and reverse engineering firmware to identify vulnerabilities
Network services
Investigating the technology protocols in use, encryption measures used for transit and data flow
Device application (Application/Firmware)
Technology used by the device, potential weaknesses in processes and flow of data, data storage and access control
Not sure what type of testing you need?
Our team will be happy to discuss your individual requirements and provide a no obligation proposal based on your needs.
Our approach
The security confidence we provide doesn’t come from a one size fits all solution.
Every IoT / Embedded device penetration test goes through a rigorous process to ensure you get the best possible results. Below we outline the key stages our testing goes through:
1. Client Focused Scoping
We work closely with you to fully understand the environment under investigation and your exact requirements before putting forward a bespoke test proposal.
2. Expert Manual Testing
Our manual testing is designed to challenge your security. That's why we only hire the very best information security consultants & all consultants are directly employed by us.
3. Tailored Reporting
Reporting isn't just a piece of paper, it's a ongoing process. We tailor our reporting to you, whether you need in-test notifications, ticket integration or a bespoke test report.
4. Post-Test Support
Our job doesn't finish on the delivery of a report. We make our consultants available after your test to provide clarification on findings & pass on their wealth of expertise.
5. Fix Check & Documentation
A fix check can be employed to ensure issues found have been successfully remediated & additional documentation can be supplied for assurance purposes
6. Ongoing Partnership
We see ourselves as trusted advisors and welcome clients contacting us outside of testing, providing honest advice on security issues wherever we can.
