IoT Security Audit

WHOAMI’s IoT Security Audit service delivers a business‑aware assessment of connected devices and their ecosystem (firmware, communications, backend, updates, integrations). We identify relevant weaknesses and prioritize improvements by operational impact, helping protect product continuity, reduce data exposure, and strengthen customer trust.

IoT Security Audit Service in Spain

WHOAMI provides IoT security audits in Spain for manufacturers, integrators, and organizations operating connected devices in production. We define a controlled scope and deliver a defensible plan for engineering and product—avoiding both empty checklists and overly technical content without context.

For manufacturers and product organizations

IoT is not “just a device”: it is an end‑to‑end chain (device, firmware, communications, cloud/platform, identities, operations). A useful audit identifies where risk becomes business impact: product integrity, customer safety/trust, service availability, reputation, and compliance.

Objective and scope (what’s in, what’s out)

The objective is to identify weaknesses affecting confidentiality, integrity, availability, and traceability. Typical scope includes:

• Device: configuration, credentials, exposed functions, data protection
• Firmware: secure practices, secret handling, update mechanisms
• Communications: encryption, authentication, integrity, certificate management
• Platform: APIs, consoles, identities, tenant separation
• Operations: logging, evidence, alerting, controls against abnormal usage

What we validate (and why it matters)

We translate controls into consequences. Examples:

• Update security: reduces supply‑chain risk and large‑scale unauthorized change impact
• Identity and authorization: prevents improper access and unwanted control of functions
• Tenant separation: mitigates cross‑customer impact in multi‑tenant platforms
• Data protection: lowers exposure of telemetry and personal data
• Operational resilience: improves continuity under abuse, automation, or control failures

IoT audit vs web/cloud audit

An IoT audit covers device + platform. If the objective is concentrated on backend or web consoles, it can be complemented with a Web Security Audit or a Cloud Security Audit, with clear service boundaries.

Typical engagement modes (black box / grey box / white box)

• Black box: minimal starting information to measure initial exposure
• Grey box: controlled access + minimal documentation; typically best value
• White box: engineering collaboration; ideal for complex products

Deliverables (what you receive)

• Executive report (risk, impact, priorities, decisions)
• Technical report with evidence, context, and actionable remediation
• Design recommendations to improve product security (without how‑to content)
• Improvement roadmap (quick wins vs structural changes)
• Review session with engineering/product
• Follow‑up review (optional) to confirm critical fixes

What we need to start

For an efficient, realistic audit:

• Test device or controlled access to a test environment
• Minimal documentation (architecture, flows, updates, identities)
• Console/API access with representative roles
• Clear scope (models, versions, included/excluded services)

How we prioritize

We prioritize by impact (customer, continuity, reputation), exposure (device vs platform surface), likelihood (controls and friction), and cost/benefit. The goal is an executable and defensible plan.

Timelines and planning

It depends on model count, ecosystem complexity, and required depth. As a guideline:

• Scoped product (one model + simple platform): typically 2–4 weeks
• Multiple models + console: phased by objectives
• Multi‑tenant platform: defined by critical components and integrations

What this audit is NOT (service boundaries)

• Not a certification nor a guarantee of total security
• Not a how‑to guide: we describe risk and impact, not offensive recipes
• Not a QA replacement: it is a security assessment for decisions
