Secure Hardware, Comprehensive Audits

Hardware Security Audit & Testing Services

Safeguard your devices, firmware, and supply chain from emerging threats. Our comprehensive assessments and hands-on testing methodologies ensure you're aligned with the latest standards—from NIST to CMMC—while delivering practical solutions tailored to your unique environment.

Our Approach

Deep. Practical. Secure.

Hardware security should be a structured, repeatable process—no less rigorous than software security. Our six core principles ensure clarity, precision, and success:

Scoping & Planning

We work closely with your engineering and product teams to define in-scope hardware components, firmware, and supply chain elements. By mapping all device interactions—from debug interfaces to communication protocols—we ensure no hidden risks are overlooked.

Threat Modeling

Building on a thorough understanding of the device architecture, we use structured threat modeling to prioritize real-world risks. We examine physical access points, side-channel attack vectors, and supply-chain vulnerabilities, creating a clear blueprint for targeted testing.

Precision in Testing

Our team employs specialized hardware security techniques (e.g., side-channel analysis, glitching, debug probes) and modern tooling to evaluate each device's defenses with industry-standard rigor. This approach helps uncover critical weaknesses that might otherwise go undetected.

Data-Driven Analysis

We systematically collect and correlate test results across hardware, firmware, and supporting systems—uncovering both immediate vulnerabilities and deeper, systemic issues. The outcome is a clear set of findings that informs overall security posture.

Actionable Remediation

Our remediation strategies are prioritized, specific, and aligned with your engineering timelines—ensuring a practical roadmap for addressing discovered gaps. We work alongside your teams to streamline the remediation process, focusing on fixes that have measurable impact.

Ongoing Spot Checks

Security is not a one-and-done effort. We offer follow-up testing and spot checks to confirm that your mitigation measures are effective and to stay ahead of emerging threats. This cyclical validation ensures your hardware remains resilient over time.

Multi-Framework Security

A focused evaluation of IoT ecosystems—devices, cloud dashboards, mobile apps, and APIs—designed to uncover exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers can capitalize on them. Our testing simulates real-world threats, assessing encryption, access controls, and network configurations to provide targeted, actionable recommendations.

An audit of procurement, manufacturing, and deployment processes—augmented with Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) verifications—to protect against counterfeit or maliciously modified components and software. By validating vendors, tracking component provenance, and applying guidelines like NIST SP 800-161, we help maintain the integrity and authenticity of every element in your hardware ecosystem.

A detailed investigation of device firmware, using both static and dynamic analysis techniques to detect hidden flaws or malicious code. By reverse-engineering firmware at the binary level, we identify insecure configurations, hardcoded credentials, or unsigned updates that can compromise system integrity.

A hands-on review of hardware resilience against direct physical access, tampering, and glitch attacks. We scrutinize diagnostic ports, debug interfaces (e.g., JTAG, UART), and enclosure security measures, ensuring that devices remain protected even when attackers have physical contact.

A strategic advisory service that embeds security practices throughout a device's lifecycle—from initial design through eventual decommissioning. We ensure that frameworks like NIST SP 800-160 and industry best practices are integrated into development, deployment, and maintenance for sustained, long-term protection.

Our Methodology for Hardware Security

Arbure's hardware security methodology is designed to provide comprehensive protection through a structured, iterative approach. Our process ensures that security measures are both effective and aligned with your operational needs.

Scoping & Threat Modeling

We begin by defining the hardware environment and mapping out how devices, firmware, and physical interfaces interact. During this phase, we create or update an initial threat model that identifies potential attack vectors, prioritizes risks, and sets the direction for targeted testing.

In-Depth Hardware Security Testing

Leveraging insights from the threat model, our team executes thorough evaluations of each device layer—examining firmware integrity, debug interfaces, supply chain processes, and physical components. Tools and techniques (e.g., side-channel analysis, glitching, reverse engineering) are employed to validate real-world exploitability.

Analysis & Remediation

Our findings are analyzed against your organization's risk tolerance and operational context, providing clear, prioritized remediation steps. We collaborate with engineering teams to integrate fixes—whether updating firmware, bolstering enclosure security, or refining supply chain practices—so that changes align with ongoing development cycles.

Continuous Validation & Lifecycle Support

Threat modeling is revisited regularly, ensuring your hardware security posture adapts to new threats, firmware updates, or design changes. We offer periodic spot checks, iterative evaluations, and guidance on emerging vulnerabilities, so your devices remain protected and resilient throughout their entire lifecycle.
