At a Glance

  • Engagement type: IoT and OT device security audit (hardware, firmware, network, cloud)
  • Coverage: Hardware ports, firmware reverse engineering, wireless protocols, APIs, cloud backend
  • Typical duration: 2-3 weeks total, based on device complexity and protocol scope
  • Starts from INR 30,000: fixed price scoped after a free 30-minute call
  • Response time: instant, no delay. We start same day or next business day after scoping

What is It?

An IoT and OT security audit covers the entire stack of a connected device: hardware (UART/JTAG/SPI), firmware, wireless protocols (BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRa, WiFi), companion mobile/web apps and cloud backend. We identify exploitable vulnerabilities that scale across your deployed device fleet.

Codesecure's IoT audit is delivered by specialized hardware and embedded security consultants under signed NDA. Every engagement includes firmware extraction, binary analysis, protocol fuzzing and end-to-end attack scenarios. Output includes prioritized remediation and OEM-actionable fixes.

Why It Matters

IoT devices ship with long lifecycles (5-15 years) and minimal field-patchability. A single firmware vulnerability can affect thousands of deployed devices, with attackers exploiting it for years. The 2024 Mirai-class botnet attacks against Indian routers and CCTV systems demonstrate the operational impact.

For Indian OEMs serving regulated markets (medical devices, smart energy meters, industrial IoT) and enterprises deploying IoT (manufacturing, hospitals, smart buildings), IoT security audit is increasingly required by certification bodies (TEC, BIS, IEC 62443, FDA) and enterprise procurement.

Our Methodology

Every engagement follows a 5-phase methodology aligned with PTES, NIST SP 800-115 and OWASP testing guides:

1

Scoping & Reconnaissance

Free scoping call, signed NDA, fixed-price proposal in 24-48 hours. Asset discovery, OSINT, attack surface mapping.

2

Threat Modeling

Targeted threat models against OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, your specific business logic and applicable compliance frameworks.

3

Automated & Manual Testing

Hardware port analysis, firmware extraction (JTAG, SPI, UART), binary reverse engineering (Ghidra, Binwalk), wireless protocol analysis (Wireshark, dedicated SDRs), and deep manual exploitation by specialized IoT consultants.

4

Reporting & Walkthrough

Executive summary plus technical report mapped to OWASP, CVSS v3.1 and your compliance frameworks. Live walkthrough with your engineering team.

5

Retest & Sign-Off

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you require physical access to the device?

Yes, typically. Hardware-level testing requires physical access. We can work at our lab (devices shipped to us) or onsite. Specific cloud-only or mobile companion app testing can be done without physical access to the device.

Do you handle medical devices?

Yes, with specific compliance considerations (FDA premarket cybersecurity, IEC 60601, IEC 80001). Medical device testing requires careful coordination on test data, environment and reporting format to support regulatory submissions.

Can you test OT/SCADA systems?

Yes. OT/SCADA engagements use different methodology emphasizing safety (no operational disruption), passive monitoring, and dedicated test environments. Aligned with IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82.

How long does an IoT engagement take?

Most IoT devices complete in 2-3 weeks based on complexity. Simple consumer devices: 10-14 days; complex enterprise devices with multiple radios and cloud backend: 3 weeks. Instant response, testing starts same/next business day after scoping.

What does it cost in INR?

Pricing starts from INR 30,000 and varies by device complexity, protocol count and required certifications. Fixed price after free 30-minute scoping call.

How quickly can you start?

Instant response, no delay. Response within an hour during business hours, proposal within 24-48 hours under signed NDA. Testing starts after devices arrive at our lab or our consultants arrive at your site.

Do you help with remediation?

Yes. Reports include OEM-actionable fixes with sample code and config snippets. Optional follow-on consulting available for complex remediation including secure boot redesign, key management overhaul or protocol redesign.
