IoT & Embedded Device Penetration Testing
Expert-led, manual security testing for connected devices, from consumer IoT to industrial embedded systems.
Service Overview
IoT & Embedded Device Penetration Testing
An IoT and embedded device penetration test is a structured, expert-led security assessment of a connected device and its surrounding ecosystem, covering the device hardware, firmware, companion applications, network communications, and back-end cloud or server infrastructure. Unlike web or infrastructure testing, embedded device assessments require physical access to hardware, specialist tooling for firmware extraction and analysis, and consultants with experience in low-level systems and embedded architectures.
The consequences of a compromised IoT device extend beyond data theft. Where devices have access to critical infrastructure, operational technology networks, or physical systems, the impact of a successful attack can be severe. For consumer devices handling personal data, the regulatory implications of poor security design are increasingly significant.

What Our IoT Testing Covers
Our Test Process
Our IoT Testing Process
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:
Understand Your Requirements
IoT engagements require more upfront scoping than other service types. We work with you to understand the device architecture, the ecosystem it operates within, the interfaces it exposes, and what a successful assessment looks like, before agreeing scope and timeline.
Manual, Expert-Led Testing
Every assessment is carried out by consultants with hands-on expertise. We use specialist tooling to support our work, but every finding is the result of manual investigation, not automated output. This means validated vulnerabilities and accurate impact assessment.
Reporting Tailored To Your Organisation
Our reports are written for those who need to act on them, whether that's an engineering team working on pre-release or a security team managing deployed devices in a corporate environment. Technical findings include full exploitation detail & clear remediation guidance.
Post-Test Remediation Support
Our consultants don't disappear when the report is delivered. They remain available to answer any questions you may have and assist with remediation prioritisation. Where compliance evidence is required, we can provide additional documentation to support audit requirements.
