IoT Security Assessment Framework

Our IoT security testing methodology covers firmware security, hardware vulnerabilities, wireless communication weaknesses, and platform integration issues.

Firmware Analysis

We extract and analyze device firmware to identify hardcoded credentials, backdoors, vulnerable libraries, insecure configurations, and logic flaws that could be exploited to compromise devices.

Wireless Security

We test wireless communication protocols for weak pairing mechanisms, encryption weaknesses, replay attacks, and protocol-level vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to intercept or manipulate device communication.

Hardware Analysis

We assess physical security of devices including secure boot implementation, debug interface access, tamper protection, and side-channel vulnerabilities that could allow physical device compromise.

Platform Security

We test IoT backend platforms for vulnerabilities in device management, data storage, authentication, and authorization that could compromise connected devices or stored data.

Update Mechanism

We verify that firmware update mechanisms are secure including encryption, signature verification, rollback protection, and secure distribution preventing attackers from pushing malicious updates.

Ecosystem Integration

We test how devices integrate with companion applications, cloud platforms, and other ecosystem components to identify vulnerabilities across the entire connected device system.

Our IoT Security Testing Process

We follow a comprehensive methodology for IoT security testing across devices, communication, platforms, and ecosystems.

Phase 1: Device Acquisition and Setup

We acquire test devices and establish safe testing environments. We configure devices for testing and document baseline configurations before security assessment begins.

Phase 2: Firmware Extraction and Analysis

We extract firmware through debug interfaces and memory dumping. We reverse engineer binary code to identify vulnerabilities, backdoors, hardcoded secrets, and logic flaws.

Phase 3: Communication Testing

We intercept and analyze wireless and wired communication to identify encryption weaknesses, protocol flaws, and vulnerability in device-to-device or device-to-cloud communication.

Phase 4: Hardware Assessment

We perform physical security testing including debug interface access verification, secure boot validation, tamper detection testing, and side-channel vulnerability analysis.

Phase 5: Platform Integration Testing

We test how devices integrate with backend platforms, mobile applications, and cloud services to identify vulnerabilities across the IoT ecosystem that could compromise devices.

Phase 6: Reporting and Remediation

We deliver detailed reports with findings, proof-of-concept exploits, remediation guidance, and compliance mapping for ISO 27001 and HIPAA requirements.

IoT Security Testing for Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory frameworks increasingly mandate security assessment of IoT devices. Our testing helps you meet compliance requirements and demonstrate due diligence in device security.

HIPAA requires security testing of medical IoT devices handling protected health information. PCI DSS requires security assessment of payment-connected IoT devices. Automotive regulations increasingly mandate security testing of connected vehicles. At Codesecure, we align IoT testing with specific regulatory requirements for your devices.

For organizations pursuing ISO 27001 certification, IoT security testing provides evidence for controls A.14.1 (information security requirements of systems) and A.14.2 (secure development). RBI mandates security testing for IoT devices in banking and payment systems.

Indian manufacturers increasingly face regulatory pressures to secure IoT devices. DPDP Act 2023 requires reasonable security safeguards for personal data processed through IoT devices. Production safety regulations require IoT devices in critical infrastructure to meet security standards. RBI mandates security assessment of fintech IoT applications.

Frequently Asked Questions About IoT Security Testing

Common questions about our IoT security testing services.

IoT security testing is a specialized form of penetration testing focused on identifying vulnerabilities in internet-connected devices and IoT platforms. IoT devices often have limited processing power and memory, making traditional security controls difficult to implement. Without proper security testing, IoT devices can be compromised to launch attacks on connected networks, steal sensitive data, or be hijacked for botnet usage. With billions of IoT devices deployed globally, securing them is critical for protecting networks and user safety.

Codesecure tests a wide range of IoT devices including smart home systems, industrial IoT sensors, wearable devices, connected medical devices, smart thermostats, security cameras, wireless networks, Bluetooth/Zigbee devices, and industrial control systems. We test both the devices themselves, the IoT platforms they connect to, the communication protocols they use, and the backend APIs they communicate with. We assess firmware security, hardware security, wireless communication, and ecosystem integration.

Our IoT security testing includes firmware extraction and reverse engineering, identification of hardcoded credentials and secrets, testing of communication protocols (WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRaWAN), API testing between device and cloud platform, authentication and authorization testing, firmware update mechanism security, secure boot verification, encryption effectiveness, and hardware side-channel analysis. We also test the IoT platform backend for vulnerabilities that could compromise connected devices.

Yes. While we are experienced with standard IoT protocols including WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and LoRaWAN, we also test proprietary protocols used by many IoT manufacturers. We can reverse engineer proprietary communication protocols through traffic analysis, firmware analysis, and device behavior observation. Our security researchers have experience with a wide range of proprietary IoT implementations across different industries.

IoT security testing requires careful handling to avoid permanent damage to devices. We use non-invasive testing techniques whenever possible including firmware analysis through JTAG/UART interfaces, network traffic interception and analysis, and API testing without physical device modification. When firmware extraction is necessary, we work with development teams to safely extract and restore firmware. We can test in lab environments with test devices before testing production devices.
