Connected devices blend hardware, firmware, wireless and cloud — a weakness in any layer compromises the whole product. We assess the full ecosystem the way an attacker with the device in hand would, for Cyprus product makers and integrators.
We extract and analyse firmware, probe hardware interfaces, attack wireless protocols and test the companion app and cloud API together.
What we test
- Firmware extraction & analysis
- Hardware interfaces (UART/JTAG/SPI)
- Wireless protocol attacks (BLE/Zigbee)
- Companion app & cloud API testing
- Secure boot & update mechanism review
- Hardcoded secrets & credential exposure
Common vulnerabilities we uncover
- Hardcoded secrets and firmware credentials
- Exposed hardware debug interfaces (UART/JTAG)
- Insecure firmware update mechanisms
- Weak wireless protocol implementations (BLE/Zigbee)
- Insecure companion app and cloud API
- Missing secure boot and anti-tamper
How we run your IoT Device Penetration Testing
- Kick-off & scoping. A short call to agree goals, in-scope assets and rules of engagement, so your iot device penetration testing is safe, authorised and aimed at your real business risk.
- Mapping & discovery. Before touching anything we map the full attack surface in scope, so nothing exploitable slips through.
- Hands-on testing. Cyprus-based specialists exploit and chain weaknesses manually — the flaws scanners walk straight past — to show genuine impact.
- Reporting. Each issue is verified, CVSS-rated and documented with a step-by-step reproduction and a practical fix your team can apply.
- Free retest. Once you have remediated, we re-test at no extra cost to confirm the attack path is truly closed.
What you receive
- Device ecosystem threat model
- Layered findings with evidence
- Firmware & hardware hardening guidance
- Free retest of remediated firmware
Your deliverables
When your iot device penetration testing wraps up, you receive a clear, audit-ready report plus a walkthrough call with your team. Inside you will find:
- A concise executive summary that management and the board can act on
- Every technical finding with a reproducible, copy-paste proof of concept
- CVSS v3.1 ratings and plain-language business impact for each issue
- Practical, prioritised remediation your developers can implement straight away
- A free retest and updated finding status once fixes are in place
- A signed attestation letter for clients, auditors, GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001

What you gain
By the end of your iot device penetration testing, you will know exactly which weaknesses a real attacker could exploit, what it would cost your business, and the precise order in which to fix them — backed by evidence, not a scanner’s guesswork. Cyprus firms use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy client and regulator security questionnaires, and demonstrate due diligence for GDPR and NIS2. With a free retest included, you also get documented proof the issues are resolved.
Working with us
Every iot device penetration testing begins with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal. Most work is delivered remotely, and because we are based in Cyprus we work in your timezone with on-site visits across Limassol, Nicosia and island-wide where it helps. We keep you updated throughout and flag any critical finding immediately rather than waiting for the report. Everything is covered by a signed NDA and safe, non-disruptive testing that protects your production systems. You receive your report, a walkthrough and a complimentary retest once fixes land. Engagements are typically booked one to three weeks ahead, and urgent testing can often be arranged — just email hi@cypruspentest.com.
Why Cyprus businesses choose CyprusPentest
Your iot device penetration testing is run by senior offensive-security specialists who test the way genuine attackers do — manually, creatively and focused on proving real impact. What sets us apart:
- Based in Cyprus — local, in your timezone, with on-site coverage across Limassol and Nicosia.
- Manual, exploit-led testing that chains vulnerabilities the way an attacker would, well beyond automated scanners.
- Reproducible proof for every finding, with copy-paste steps your team can independently verify.
- Compliance-ready reporting that supports GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001 and CySEC expectations.
- A free retest so you have documented evidence your fixes actually hold.
- Fixed-price and responsive, with a named point of contact from scoping through to retest.
