End-to-End IoT Penetration Testing for CRA and Automotive Cyber Compliance

Under the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA); Annex I, Part 2 (Vulnerability Handling), products and their digital elements must be placed on the market without any known exploitable vulnerabilities.

In addition, CRA requires manufacturers to perform regular security assessments, including periodic penetration testing, to ensure vulnerabilities are continuously identified and addressed.

Similarly, UN R155 and R156 require vehicle manufacturers to continuously assess cybersecurity risks and validate the security of in-vehicle systems and their connected ecosystems throughout the vehicle lifecycle.

CyberWhiz Red Team enables manufacturers to meet these obligations through end-to-end IoT penetration testing, covering edge devices, mobile applications, cloud services, and all wired and wireless communication channels in between.

End-to-End IoT Penetration Testing Scope

CyberWhiz Red Team performs comprehensive security testing across the entire product ecosystem, including:

Edge / Embedded Systems Security Testing

  • • Firmware analysis and binary hardening review
  • • Credential extraction and default configuration detection
  • • Hardware-level analysis (UART, JTAG, SPI, NAND flash access)
  • • Device misconfiguration and privilege escalation testing
  • • Security evaluation of OTA (Over-the-Air update mechanisms)

Wired & Wireless Communication Security

CyberWhiz Red Team tests all relevant communication channels used by connected products:

Wireless Networks

  • • Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) security testing (WPA2 / WPA3)
  • • Attacks against EAP protocols and captive portals
  • • Rogue access point setups and client isolation bypass
  • • Exploitation of known vulnerabilities (e.g. KRACK, PMKID)
  • • Hidden SSID discovery, MAC spoofing and traffic interception

Bluetooth / BLE

  • • Scanning and pairing process analysis
  • • Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks
  • • Protocol-level security assessment

RF & Signal-Level Security Testing

For products using proprietary or standard RF technologies, CyberWhiz Red Team performs:

  • • RF spectrum analysis using SDR tools (HackRF, RTL-SDR, etc.)
  • • Reverse engineering of proprietary RF protocols
  • • Security testing of technologies such as LoRaWAN, Zigbee, GSM, UWB, sub-GHz (433 / 868 MHz)
  • • Replay, jamming and spoofing attack simulations
  • • Interception and decoding of unencrypted RF data

Mobile Application & Cloud Security Testing

CRA explicitly includes mobile applications and cloud services as digital elements.

CyberWhiz Red Team performs:

  • • Mobile application penetration testing aligned with OWASP Mobile Top 10
  • • API and backend security testing
  • • End-to-end validation of device–mobile–cloud communication flows
  • • Reviews cloud environments across network, infrastructure, and application layers.
  • • Identifies misconfigurations and exploitable weaknesses in cloud networking, services, and APIs.
  • • Assesses device-cloud and mobile-cloud integrations end-to-end.
  • • Guides the design and improvement of cloud security architecture for IoT environments.
  • • Supports remediation to eliminate known exploitable vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

This ensures that no exploitable vulnerability exists in any digital element when the product is deployed.

Periodic Testing for Continuous Compliance

CRA and UN R155/R156 require cybersecurity to be maintained after production, not just at launch.

CyberWhiz Red Team supports this by:

1x/year

Performing at least one full end-to-end penetration test per year

On-demand

Re-testing when new features, firmware updates or architecture changes are introduced

CRA-aligned

Supporting vulnerability handling workflows aligned with CRA timelines

This approach ensures that products remain compliant and secure throughout their operational lifetime.

Red Team as Part of the CyberWhiz Lifecycle Approach

CyberWhiz Red Team operates as part of an integrated security lifecycle:

1

Before production

Security validation and risk reduction

2

After production

Periodic penetration testing

3

During incidents

Root cause analysis and exploit validation

Findings from Red Team assessments feed directly into:

  • → CyberWhiz Blue Team for secure architecture improvements
  • → CyberWhiz Purple Team for CRA, RED DA and automotive compliance documentation
