What We Test on Your IoT Devices

End-to-end security coverage spanning firmware, hardware interfaces, communication protocols, and cloud backends.

Firmware Extraction and Analysis

Extract and reverse-engineer firmware binaries to identify hardcoded credentials, insecure boot sequences, and vulnerable libraries.

Hardware Interface Testing

Probe JTAG, UART, SPI, I2C, and other debug interfaces for unauthenticated access, shell exposure, and data extraction paths.

Boot Chain Security

Verify secure boot implementation, firmware signing validation, and anti-rollback protection to prevent unauthorised code execution.

Hardcoded Secrets

Identify hardcoded API keys, encryption keys, default passwords, and certificate private keys embedded in firmware images.

Update Mechanism

Assess OTA and firmware update mechanisms for integrity verification, code signing, and rollback protection weaknesses.

Memory and Storage

Evaluate flash storage for unencrypted sensitive data, accessible partition layouts, and debug partitions with elevated access.

Wireless Protocol Analysis

Intercept and analyse BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRa, and Wi-Fi communications for replay attacks, key extraction, and weak encryption.

MQTT and CoAP Testing

Test IoT messaging protocols for authentication gaps, topic injection, cleartext transmission, and denial-of-service vulnerabilities.

Network Segmentation

Validate IoT network isolation, assess VLAN configurations, and test for lateral movement from compromised devices to corporate networks.

RF Signal Analysis

Monitor and analyse radio frequency communications for signal replay, jamming, and protocol-level manipulation attacks.

Man-in-the-Middle

Test device and cloud communication for TLS downgrade, certificate pinning bypass, and traffic interception vulnerabilities.

Protocol Fuzzing

Fuzz custom and standard IoT protocol implementations to identify crash conditions, buffer overflows, and unexpected state transitions.

Companion App Testing

Assess companion iOS and Android apps for OWASP Mobile Top 10 vulnerabilities including insecure data storage and authentication bypass.

API Security

Test device management APIs, telemetry endpoints, and control interfaces for broken authentication, IDOR, and injection vulnerabilities.

Cloud Backend Review

Audit device management platforms, data storage, and cloud-hosted services for misconfigurations, broken access control, and data exposure.

Data Storage and Privacy

Evaluate how device data is collected, stored, and transmitted for compliance with DPDP Act, GDPR, and privacy-by-design requirements.

Identity and Access

Assess device provisioning, user authentication, and access control mechanisms for unauthorised device binding and account takeover.

Compliance Mapping

Map findings to OWASP IoT Top 10, ETSI EN 303 645, and NIST SP 800-183 for compliance-ready reporting.

How We Run an IoT Security Assessment

A structured six-phase process aligned with OWASP IoT Top 10 and ETSI EN 303 645, from initial scoping through verified remediation.

Phase 01
Scoping and Threat Modelling

Define the attack surface using STRIDE and OWASP IoT Top 10. Identify critical device components, communication paths, and high-risk data flows.

01
02
Phase 02
Hardware Teardown

Physical inspection, component identification, and probing of debug interfaces including JTAG, UART, and SPI for unauthenticated access paths.

Phase 03
Firmware Analysis

Extract, unpack, and reverse-engineer firmware for hardcoded secrets, vulnerable components, insecure boot controls, and update mechanism flaws.

03
04
Phase 04
Protocol and Network Testing

Intercept wireless and wired communications, fuzz protocol implementations, and test for replay and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Phase 05
App and Cloud Testing

Assess companion apps, backend APIs, OTA mechanisms, and cloud infrastructure for security gaps across the full device ecosystem.

06
Phase 06
Reporting and Re-Test

Deliver CVSS-scored findings with device-layer remediation guidance, followed by a free re-test after your team applies patches.

Questions We Get Asked Often

IoT security assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of connected devices, embedded systems, and their supporting infrastructure. It covers firmware analysis, hardware interface testing, communication protocol analysis, companion app security, and cloud backend review to identify vulnerabilities across the full device ecosystem.

Common IoT vulnerabilities include hardcoded credentials in firmware, insecure debug interfaces (JTAG/UART), unencrypted wireless communications, weak OTA update mechanisms, and exposed cloud APIs. OWASP IoT Top 10 provides a standard classification of these issues.

Yes. We extract firmware binaries through hardware interfaces and OTA packages, then reverse-engineer them to identify hardcoded secrets, insecure boot chains, vulnerable third-party libraries, and update mechanism flaws.

No. We use controlled, non-destructive testing techniques. Hardware probing is performed with proper voltage and current limits. All testing follows a strict rules of engagement document that defines acceptable and off-limits testing activities.

Scyverge aligns IoT assessments with OWASP IoT Top 10, ETSI EN 303 645, NIST SP 800-183, and relevant industry-specific standards. Findings are mapped to these frameworks for compliance-ready reporting.
