Hardware & Embedded Security Testing

Device-level testing across interfaces, firmware, and physical attack surfaces.

Overview

Hardware and embedded security testing assesses devices at the physical level — debug interfaces, firmware, and buses — to find the tamper, extraction, and secure-boot flaws that software testing cannot reach.

What we test

Where attackers get in — and where we look.

Debug interface (JTAG/UART)

Firmware extraction

Bus & protocol analysis

Secure-boot & storage

Physical tamper paths

How we test

An evidence-driven methodology.

Scope & recon

We agree objectives and rules of engagement, then map what you actually expose.

Map the attack surface

Enumerate entry points, roles, and trust boundaries a real attacker would target.

Manual exploitation

Certified testers exploit flaws by hand — chaining issues scanners never connect.

Prove impact

Findings ship with supporting evidence and business context.

Report & retest

Risk-ranked reporting with remediation guidance; retests under agreed terms.

What you get

Evidence you can act on.

Findings and supporting evidence

QA-reviewed findings with evidence and reproduction steps.

Risk-ranked reporting

CVSS + business context, prioritized for your team.

Remediation guidance

Actionable fixes mapped to each finding.

Retests under agreed terms

Retests are requested and tracked in the platform.

FAQ

Hardware & Embedded Security Testing — questions buyers ask.

What hardware can you test?

Embedded devices, IoT hardware, medical and industrial devices, and custom boards — across debug interfaces, storage, and buses.

Do you need physical devices?

Yes — hardware testing requires sample units, and ideally schematics or firmware images to speed analysis.

What do you look for?

Exposed debug interfaces (JTAG/UART), firmware extraction, insecure secure-boot and storage, bus and protocol weaknesses, and physical tamper paths.

Prove what an attacker could actually do.

A short scoping call, no obligation.
