Assessment Workspace
Manage your architectural risk assessments and device audits.
Explore potential security and regulatory gaps from the information you provide about a connected product.
New Architecture Assessment
Questions cover device architecture, development processes, and lifecycle support.
What you get:
- Free Design Audit: A preliminary rules-based report of potential gaps in your supplied answers.
- Free PDF: Findings, supporting answers, and suggested next steps for review.
1. Hardware Specifications
- BOM & Silicon: Main MCU/SoC (e.g. STM32) & Secure Elements.
- Connectivity: Active ports (JTAG) & wireless protocols.
2. Software Architecture
- Security Stack: Secure Boot, storage encryption, Auth methods.
- Update Strategy: OTA mechanisms (signed/encrypted).
3. Lifecycle & Market
- Commercial: Target markets (EU, US) & support lifespan.
Need higher assurance?
Automated findings need engineering review. You can request a discussion from your report about uncertain results or implementation work with Device Prophet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What questions are in the Preliminary Design Audit?
The audit focuses on architectural metadata rather than your code. We ask about:
- Hardware: SoC vendor, connectivity (WiFi, BLE, Cellular), and secure storage capabilities.
- Software: OS type (Linux, RTOS), update mechanisms, and encryption strategies.
- Governance: Development processes, SBOM maturity, and supply chain security.
How long will it take?
The time depends on how readily you can confirm the device's architecture and development processes. Keep the relevant specifications available and save a draft if you need to check an answer.
Who is this audit for?
It is designed for Systems Architects, CTOs, and Product Owners responsible for the compliance and security roadmap of connected devices. It highlights potential issues for engineering review.
Where is my data stored?
Draft answers are saved in this browser. When you submit an assessment, its answers are sent to Device Prophet and stored to generate and share the report. Anyone with its link can view a submitted report. Smart Import also sends and stores the text you submit. See the privacy notice for processing details.
Can I share my report?
Use the Share button on your dashboard.
- Drafts: The link contains your answers in compressed form. Anyone with it can import them into another browser.
- Completed reports: The link opens a public read-only report. Anyone with it can view the report.
Share either kind of link only with people who should have access to the information.
How do I back up my work?
Use the backup button below to save this browser's workspace as a JSON file. Clearing this site's browser storage removes local drafts and report entries. It does not delete submitted reports or uploaded files stored by Device Prophet.
Where can I see example audit reports?
The Sample Reports Gallery contains reports generated from illustrative device configurations, with PDF downloads and input data exports.
Data Management
