Most product security issues are not identified at launch; instead, they are often discovered post-launch by individuals who shouldn’t have found them. With over 20 years of offensive security experience across hardware, software, IoT, industrial systems, consumer devices, and connected vehicles, Project Black Security collaborates with product teams to address this concern.
This is not merely penetration testing; it is a comprehensive security consultancy that operates upstream of testing, aiding you in building products that are inherently more secure against attacks.
We engage directly with engineers, architects, and product leads to gain insights into what you are developing, how it communicates, what data it stores, and the realistic objectives an adversary might have against it. From this foundational understanding, we assist you in identifying where security risks may be introduced, whether through design decisions, component selections, firmware, APIs, communication protocols, or the assumptions made about real-world deployment and usage.
Our methodology is anchored in recognized frameworks, including NCSC Secure by Design principles, OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, CWE classifications, and UK Government guidance on secure development and deployment. We leverage these frameworks not as a mere checklist, but as a lens through which we apply our offensive experience to interpret them within the context of your specific product and threat modeling landscape.
Threat modeling during the design and architecture phases is crucial for enhancing product security. This includes attack surface analysis across hardware, firmware, and software, as well as conducting security reviews of third-party components and supply chain dependencies. We focus on protocol and communication security, identifying weaknesses in authentication, trust boundaries, and data handling. Our aim is to provide practical guidance that engineering teams can act on, rather than just delivering a report that sits in a drawer.
The products we have worked on range from IoT devices to SaaS platforms, industrial and OT systems, consumer electronics, and automotive systems. A common thread across all these projects is that applying offensive thinking early through our security consultancy consistently leads to better outcomes than reactive testing performed later.
If you are building something and seek an experienced, independent view on where your product is exposed, we are straightforward to work with and direct in our assessments.
