Hardware & Embedded Systems Security

From requirements to lifecycle support, protect your products, organization, and customers with secure embedded systems and hardware.

Innovate hardware. Protect your organization.

Product security starts at the lowest levels of engineering — both in requirements and silicon.

Secure products, platforms, and Board Support Packages (BSPs) using the latest security best practices. Our expert embedded systems security consultants bring decades of experience in secure product development to give your team tailored remediation guidance.

Build products you can trust.

Avoid costly reworks by getting your security right the first time.

We engage early with your development process to provide security requirements, threat modeling, and architecture and design review before security problems are baked-in and become expensive to correct.

Comprehensive embedded system assessments are provided using the latest tools and techniques in our global embedded systems labs, covering the entire IoT attack surface.

You'll get a white-glove approach to embedded system security. We don't rely on templates — every project is tailored to your unique needs.

Keep pace with emerging threats.

Prepare for future threats with product design.

Consider us part of your security team, augmenting staff at various design stages. Together, we can utilize the latest advances in security research to counter modern attacker's tools and techniques.

We'll partner with you for design and architecture reviews and work directly with your engineering group throughout the development lifecycle.

Cyber security compliance is key.

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) know that security isn't just good for business — it's a legal requirement.

Go beyond checking the boxes for products and critical assets with experienced assessors — we've worked with every major compliance framework and are third-party authorized assessors.

We'll help you comply with cyber security regulations at scale by creating custom security compliance frameworks for secure-by-design product ecosystems. Plus, as an Authorized Lab, NCC Group can help your devices meet various guidelines and specs, from ETSI EN 303 645 to NIST IR 8425 to ioXt Alliance to FDA cyber security compliance guidelines.

Uplevel your team's skill set with up-to-date training.

On top of working on your device security, we can work directly with your in-house teams to develop their security skill sets. Some of our courses include an IoT Security Crash Course, Introduction to Hardware Hacking, and Secure Firmware Development.

The latest insights in hardware & embedded systems research.
