What we deliver
Twara Technologies helps product companies and operators make connected systems secure by design and keep them secure in the field. We look at the whole chain, from the chip and its firmware through the radio link and gateway to the cloud services, APIs and apps, because attackers look for the weakest link rather than the one you have already hardened. Our work produces concrete fixes and evidence, not just a list of findings.
This service suits manufacturers preparing a connected product for launch, companies whose products must meet new security regulations in their export markets, and operators running device fleets they did not build themselves. We can engage early, during design, when fixes are cheapest, or later, when a product is already in the field and needs an independent view.
Typical scope
- Threat modelling of devices, gateways, cloud services and companion apps.
- Review of hardware interfaces such as UART, JTAG and SWD, and of how production units disable or lock them.
- Firmware analysis: hard-coded secrets, outdated components, unsafe parsing, insecure defaults.
- Secure boot, update signing and rollback protection design or verification.
- Device identity and credential provisioning during manufacture.
- Network and protocol testing for MQTT, HTTP, Bluetooth Low Energy and local interfaces.
- Cloud, API and mobile app security testing, including multi-tenant isolation.
- Software bill of materials and component vulnerability tracking.
- Vulnerability disclosure and incident response processes.
Technologies we work with
- Firmware and hardware: standard debug probes and logic analysers, firmware extraction and static analysis tools, and fuzzing for parsers and network handlers.
- Device security features: secure elements and trusted execution where the silicon offers them, hardware cryptography and secure storage for keys.
- Network and cloud: TLS with per-device certificates, managed IoT identity services from the major clouds, and certificate lifecycle tooling.
- Application testing: recognised web and mobile testing tools, guided by the OWASP Top 10:2025, whose categories include broken access control and software supply chain failures.
- Supply chain: software bill of materials formats such as SPDX or CycloneDX, and dependency scanners in the build pipeline.
How we choose: security controls must fit the device’s power, memory and cost budget. We prioritise the measures that close the most likely and most damaging attack paths, and we record any accepted risk explicitly.
How we approach it
- Scope and threat model. Agree assets, attackers and boundaries; identify the paths that matter most.
- Assess. Test devices, firmware, network, cloud and apps against the threat model and the chosen baseline.
- Report and prioritise. Findings ranked by real-world impact, each with a recommended fix.
- Remediate. Fix issues ourselves or alongside your engineers, then retest to confirm.
- Embed. Add security checks to the build pipeline, set up disclosure handling and document the support period.
Security, privacy and quality
Baseline. ETSI EN 303 645 V3.1.3 groups its cyber security provisions under thirteen headings, from no universal default passwords to validating input data, and adds data protection provisions. India’s TEC 31318:2025 code of practice was revised in November 2025 to reflect that version.
India. The CERT-In directions of 28 April 2022 require covered organisations to report listed incidents, including attacks on IoT devices and associated systems, within 6 hours of noticing them, and to keep ICT logs for a rolling 180 days within Indian jurisdiction. Where devices handle personal data, the DPDP Act and DPDP Rules, 2025 require security safeguards and prompt notice to affected individuals of a personal data breach.
European Union. Under the Cyber Resilience Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, reporting obligations apply from 11 September 2026, with an early warning due within 24 hours, and the main provisions apply from 11 December 2027. Manufacturers must also state a support period at the time of purchase.
United Kingdom. The PSTI product security regime, in effect since 29 April 2024, covers passwords, vulnerability reporting and the published minimum security update period.
We are engineers, not lawyers: we map technical controls to these requirements and work alongside your legal and compliance advisers on interpretation.
Engagement options
- Security assessment: a fixed-scope review of one product or platform with a prioritised report.
- Secure design support: security architecture and reviews during new product development.
- Remediation and retest: fixing findings and verifying them.
- Ongoing product security: dependency monitoring, disclosure handling and periodic reassessment.
