Manufacturers today face mounting pressure to secure products across their entire lifecycle, navigate complex global compliance regimes, and proactively manage software supply chain risk. But building a security program that can do all that—and scale with your business—isn’t easy.

That’s why Finite State offers Security Services designed to scale with your needs, from product launch to global expansion.

“We’re not just testing firmware, we’re helping teams build sustainable security practices that grow with their product portfolio.”

Why Scaling Security Is So Hard for Embedded Teams

Many teams start strong with pen testing or manual SBOM generation, but hit a wall when trying to scale across:

  • Multiple product lines
  • Diverse architectures
  • Fragmented supplier ecosystems
  • Rapid release cadences

And with evolving mandates like the EU Cyber Resilience Act, U.S. Cyber Trust Mark, and FDA 524B, even mature organizations struggle to keep pace with compliance while delivering secure, connected products.

How Finite State Services Supports Security at Scale

Our services are designed to meet you where you are, whether you're launching your first device or managing a global portfolio of embedded systems.

Here’s how we help you grow securely:

Penetration Testing

Rigorous testing of your hardware, firmware, cloud, mobile, and APIs to uncover exploitable vulnerabilities and validate product resilience.

Remediation Testing

Validate that fixes are applied correctly in compiled binaries or source, ensuring you’ve actually closed the gaps before release.

Regulatory Compliance Readiness

Expert advisory and testing aligned to CRA, CE RED, FDA 524B, CTIA, and more. We help you prepare for audits and reduce last-minute surprises.

Virtual CPSO Engagements

Fractional leadership to design security programs, guide roadmap alignment, and act as a trusted advisor to executives and engineering teams.

Supply Chain Risk Assessment

SBOM generation, validation, and enrichment at scale—including third-party ingestion, deduplication, and vulnerability correlation across your ecosystem.

Continuous Product Security Support

Ongoing services for policy enforcement, vulnerability monitoring, and program optimization across product lines and SDLC stages.

A Platform + People Approach

What makes our services different?

We combine deep expertise in embedded and firmware security with the power of the Finite State Platform, enabling us to:

  • Automate what can be automated (like SBOM generation and vulnerability correlation)
  • Focus human expertise where it matters (e.g., triage, reachability analysis, exploit validation)
  • Provide a unified view of your product risk, regardless of format, architecture, or supplier origin

This hybrid approach ensures your team isn’t buried in data; it’s equipped to make decisions.

Why It Matters
