Smart Technologies & IoT Penetration Testing

Connected devices combine hardware, firmware, radios, apps and cloud services — and attackers will use the weakest link. We test the whole ecosystem.

Attack path focus LIVE

  • Hardware & debug interfaces
  • Firmware extraction & analysis
  • BLE, Zigbee & Wi-Fi radios
  • Companion app & cloud testing

Overview

Smart devices — from building management systems and medical devices to cameras, wearables and industrial sensors — are increasingly connected to corporate networks and the internet. Many ship with debug ports left open, outdated firmware, hard-coded credentials and weak update mechanisms.

Our IoT penetration tests examine the full ecosystem: hardware interfaces such as UART and JTAG, firmware extraction and analysis, radio protocols, local network services, the mobile companion app and the cloud APIs that manage the device.

Whether you build devices or deploy them, we identify how an attacker could compromise a single device, a fleet or the network it sits on.

What's included

HardwareDebug interfaces (UART, JTAG, SWD), storage chips and tamper resistance.
FirmwareExtraction, secrets, outdated components and update integrity.
Radio protocolsBLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRa and Wi-Fi security.
Network servicesExposed services and default credentials.
Companion appsiOS and Android app security.
Cloud backendDevice management APIs and fleet-wide attack paths.

Our approach

  1. ModelUnderstand device architecture and trust boundaries.
  2. HardwareInspect interfaces and extract firmware.
  3. AnalyseFirmware, radio and service analysis.
  4. EcosystemTest apps, APIs and cloud management.
  5. ReportFindings with engineering-level fixes.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need physical devices?

Yes, typically two or more units, as hardware testing can be invasive.

Can you test medical or industrial devices?

Yes, with appropriate safety controls and coordination with your engineering teams.

Do you help with IoT security regulations?

Our reports map findings to standards such as ETSI EN 303 645, which underpins several consumer IoT regulations.
