IoT and OT security testing

Connected devices and industrial systems sit where digital risk becomes physical risk. We test devices, firmware, wireless links and the platforms behind them, with the care that live operational environments demand.

Overview

Where a weak device becomes a way in

Smart-building systems, cameras, access control, medical and industrial devices are now part of the network, and many were never designed with an attacker in mind. One weak device can become a foothold into the rest of your environment.

For operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS), safety and availability come first. We plan OT work conservatively, favoring passive analysis, offline test benches and agreed maintenance windows over active testing of live processes.

What you receive

  • Executive summary for leadership, with an overall risk rating
  • Technical findings with severity (CVSS), evidence and step-by-step reproduction
  • Remediation guidance your developers and engineers can act on
  • Debrief call to walk your team through the results
  • Complimentary re-test to confirm each issue is fixed
Scope

What we test

Firmware analysis

Extracting and reviewing firmware for hard-coded credentials, keys, outdated components and backdoors.

Hardware interfaces

Debug ports such as UART and JTAG, and protection of on-device storage.

Wireless & protocols

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy and other radio links, and industrial protocols such as Modbus.

Device management

Web interfaces, update mechanisms, default credentials and remote management.

Cloud & mobile companions

The cloud platforms and mobile apps that control the devices.

OT network architecture

Segmentation between IT and OT, remote-access paths and exposure of control systems.

How it works

The Digital Fortress protocol

Every engagement follows a disciplined, repeatable protocol, governed by signed rules of engagement so your operations stay protected throughout.

Phase 01

Reconnaissance & planning

We map your footprint, confirm targets and agree scope and rules of engagement in writing.

Phase 02

Identification & analysis

Automated scanning plus deep manual analysis pinpoints weaknesses, including business-logic flaws tools miss.

Phase 03

Exploitation & validation

Under controlled conditions we safely exploit findings to prove real-world impact, with no disruption.

Phase 04

Reporting & re-test

Executive and technical reports, a debrief with your team, and a complimentary re-test to confirm every fix.

Standards & frameworks

Mapped to the standards you report against

Findings are mapped to the frameworks your auditors and regulators use, so the report also works as compliance evidence.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to test live OT systems?

Safety is our first requirement. OT engagements start with passive analysis and architecture review, active testing is done on test benches or spare equipment where possible, and anything touching live systems is agreed in writing with your operations team.

Can you test a device we manufacture?

Yes. We test products before launch, review firmware updates and help you meet security expectations for connected products.

What do you need from us?

Sample devices (ideally two), firmware images if available, documentation, and access to the companion app and cloud platform.
