By 2025, there are an estimated 15 billion connected IoT devices globally and the majority 
ship with default credentials, unpatched firmware, and no secure update mechanism. 
Manufacturing, healthcare, and smart building sectors face growing regulatory pressure around 
IoT security from bodies like CERT-In and international standards.
IoT security assessment identifying vulnerabilities in connected devices

Key Benefits

•Device firmware analysis for hardcoded credentials and known CVEs 
•Communication protocol testing (MQTT, CoAP, Zigbee, BLE, and more) 
•Cloud and mobile app interface security review 
•Network segmentation assessment for IoT device isolation 
•Vendor risk evaluation and patching feasibility assessment 
Cybersecurity analysis of IoT networks and smart devices

What We Do

Securiglobe’s IoT Security Assessment evaluates connected devices across your environment 
from industrial sensors and medical equipment to smart building systems and IP cameras. 
We identify vulnerabilities in device firmware, communication protocols, and cloud interfaces 
that could serve as entry points into your broader network.

How It Helps Your Business

An IP camera or industrial sensor with a default password can hand an attacker access to your 
entire network. Securiglobe’s IoT assessment finds the devices your standard security tools 
miss and gives you a practical plan to manage that risk.

What We Assess

Passive and active discovery of all connected devices including shadow IT devices that are not in official asset registers

Extraction and analysis of device firmware to identify hardcoded credentials, known CVEs, and insecure code

Systematic testing for unchanged manufacturer default usernames and passwords across all discovered devices

Review of how IoT devices are isolated from IT systems VLAN separation, firewall rules, and lateral movement paths

Analysis of device communication protocols (MQTT, CoAP, Modbus, BACnet) for encryption and authentication weaknesses

Security review of device admin portals, APIs, and remote management interfaces

Assessment of physical access to devices, USB ports, debug interfaces, and JTAG access

Review of firmware update mechanisms, patch availability, and update processes

Our Process

Planning & Objective Setting

Passive network discovery and active scanning to build a complete inventory of all connected devices including those not in your CMDB.

Open Source Intelligence

Devices are categorised by function, connectivity, and criticality medical devices and industrial controllers are handled with special care.

Initial Access

Known CVE analysis, default credential testing, and firmware analysis for each device category.

Planning & Objective Setting

Analysis of how IoT devices are isolated from your IT network and whether lateral movement from a compromised device is possible.

Open Source Intelligence

Capture and analysis of device communications to identify cleartext protocols, unauthenticated commands, and unencrypted data flows.

Initial Access

Risk-rated findings report with device-specific remediation guidance and a network segmentation improvement plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the assessment disrupt our production IoT devices?

We use passive discovery and non-intrusive scanning techniques for operational and critical devices. Any active testing is conducted in coordination with your OT team during approved maintenance windows.

Yes — in fact, building that inventory is often the first and most valuable deliverable of the engagement. We discover all connected devices on your network, including ones your team may not know about.

Yes, with specific care. Medical device assessments are conducted non-intrusively to comply with regulatory restrictions on clinical device testing. We coordinate with your biomedical engineering team.
