Consulting · IoT & IIoT

Securing connected device fleets from silicon to cloud.

A connected device is never just a device — it is firmware, a provisioning process, a communication path, a cloud back-end and an update mechanism, each with its own failure mode. We assess and secure the whole chain, with particular depth where those devices sit in industrial environments.

Standards

Frameworks we work to.

IoT security guidance is fragmented across sectors and regions. We work out which baselines apply to your market, then assess against one consolidated control set.

IEC 62443-4-2

Component security requirements

Where the device is destined for an industrial environment, the technical capabilities it must demonstrate to be usable at a given security level.

How we support you

  • Component capability assessment by foundational requirement
  • Security level capability determination
  • Hardware and firmware requirement allocation
  • Secure boot and root of trust review
  • Integrator security guidelines
  • Gap remediation plan
IoT security baselines

Consumer and industrial IoT baseline requirements

Regional baseline expectations — no universal default passwords, disclosed vulnerability handling, update support periods and secure communications — that increasingly gate market access.

How we support you

  • Applicable baseline identification by market
  • Baseline gap assessment
  • Credential and provisioning redesign
  • Vulnerability disclosure policy and process
  • Support lifetime and update commitment definition
  • Declaration of conformity support
Device lifecycle

Provisioning, update and decommissioning

The operational reality of a fleet: how identity is issued, how updates are signed and delivered, how a compromised device is contained and how it is retired.

How we support you

  • Identity and certificate lifecycle design
  • Zero-touch provisioning security review
  • Signed update and rollback mechanism assessment
  • Fleet segmentation and containment approach
  • Key management and secure element usage
  • Decommissioning and data sanitisation process
Cloud back-end

Platform and API security

The other half of the system — device gateways, telemetry ingestion, command paths and the APIs that let an attacker reach thousands of devices at once.

How we support you

  • Device-to-cloud authentication review
  • Command and control path assessment
  • API authorisation and tenancy isolation testing
  • Telemetry integrity and data handling review
  • Back-end monitoring and detection coverage
  • Blast-radius analysis for platform compromise
Services

What an IoT engagement covers.

The same seven services run across every practice, so you can compare scope without re-learning the menu.

Risk assessment

Threat modelling across the full chain — device, communications, back-end and the physical consequence of mass compromise.

Advisory & consulting

Product security strategy, baseline selection for target markets, and architecture review of provisioning and update design.

VA-PT & security testing

Firmware analysis, hardware interface review, communication and API testing — on samples and lab fleets, never on live critical deployments.

Compliance & audit readiness

Readiness against applicable IoT baselines and, for industrial devices, IEC 62443-4-2 capability requirements.

Implementation support

Secure boot, key and certificate management, provisioning redesign, update pipeline hardening and fleet segmentation.

Security operations

Fleet monitoring, anomaly detection across device telemetry, and incident containment for devices you cannot physically reach.

Training & capability

Embedded and platform security training for firmware, cloud and product teams.

Environments

Device and platform types

  • Industrial sensors and edge gateways
  • Smart meters and metering communication modules
  • Building and facility management devices
  • Connected instrumentation and asset trackers
  • Embedded firmware and RTOS platforms
  • Device management and provisioning platforms
  • Telemetry ingestion and command APIs
  • Mobile and web companion applications
Work products
