IoT device penetration testing
Built for connected products. Designed for confidence.
Identify vulnerabilities across your device hardware, firmware, communications, and embedded systems before attackers do. Rhymetec's expert-led Internet of Things (IoT) penetration testing helps manufacturers and technology companies strengthen product security, protect customer trust, and ship with confidence.
Contact us Contact us Contact usSecurity beyond the firmware
Connected devices introduce risks that traditional application testing can’t uncover. Our certified offensive security specialists evaluate the entire attack surface, from firmware and hardware interfaces to wireless communications and local administration, to identify vulnerabilities that could compromise your product.
A structured approach to securing connected devices
Every assessment follows an industry-aligned methodology tailored to your device architecture, firmware, and communication protocols.
Planning and preparation
Every engagement begins with a kickoff meeting to define the device, firmware version, interfaces, protocols, documentation, and testing objectives. We'll review your environment and confirm logistics before testing begins.
Device setup and discovery
Our team prepares the device in a controlled testing environment while reviewing firmware, documentation, configurations, and exposed services to understand the complete attack surface.
Penetration testing and validation
Using manual and automated techniques, our testers assess firmware security, hardware interfaces, communication protocols, local management interfaces, authentication, encryption, and device configuration. Critical findings are communicated immediately to reduce risk.
Analysis and reporting
All validated findings are documented with proof-of-concept evidence, business impact, remediation guidance, and risk ratings. Reports include both executive summaries and technical detail for engineering teams.
Actionable findings for stronger products
Every assessment includes reporting built to support both engineering teams and executive stakeholders.
- Immediate notification of critical findings
- Executive summary and presentation
- Detailed technical findings with proof-of-concept evidence
- Risk ratings using industry-standard scoring
- Prioritized remediation recommendations

What is IoT device penetration testing?
Internet of Things (IoT) device penetration testing evaluates the security of connected devices by simulating real-world attacks against firmware, hardware interfaces, communications, local administration, and device configurations. The goal is to identify exploitable weaknesses before products are deployed in customer environments.
What does the assessment include?
Testing may include firmware analysis, hardware interface testing, communication security, local web or administrative interface testing, configuration reviews, authentication testing, and validation against recognized guidance such as the OWASP IoT Top 10, OWASP Firmware Security Testing Methodology, and NIST SP 800-115.
What types of devices can Rhymetec test?
We assess a wide range of connected devices, including industrial IoT equipment, consumer electronics, medical devices, smart building technologies, networking appliances, embedded systems, and proprietary hardware. Testing is customized based on your device architecture and supported protocols.
Why choose Rhymetec?
Our assessments are performed by experienced offensive security professionals who combine deep firmware, embedded systems, and penetration testing expertise with extensive manual testing. Rather than simply identifying vulnerabilities, we validate exploitability and provide practical remediation guidance that helps engineering teams strengthen product security without slowing development.
