Embedded World, Germany - Microservice Store (MSS) today announced the launch of its IoT Transparency Portal, designed to solve the Black Box problem of embedded systems, providing manufacturers, regulators, and end-users with a real time, transparent view of device security, software bill of materials (SBOM), and live vulnerability status.
The Market Need: Transparency as a Business Necessity
Until now, the internal software state of an IoT device was invisible once it left the factory. With the EU CRA mandating that manufacturers report actively exploited vulnerabilities within 24 hours and maintain a rigorous SBOM for the product's entire lifecycle, manual compliance is no longer viable.
The IoT Transparency Portal is the world’s first Public Facing Integrity Dashboard. Unlike private management tools, this is a transparent, single source of truth that allows regulators, customers, and partners to verify the security health of a device in real-time. By moving from "hidden security" to "verifiable transparency," we are helping vendors turn compliance into a competitive advantage and a mark of global trust.
Key Features of the IoT Transparency Portal:
Live Software Inventory (SBOM): Using MSS’s unique embedded Microservice architecture, the portal displays a verified list of every software module currently running on a device, including version, hash, and security certificate status.
Real Time Vulnerability Exposure: The portal correlates on device software with global vulnerability databases, flagging risks the moment they are discovered.
Autonomous Incident Reporting: In alignment with EU CRA requirements, the portal automates the Vulnerability to Action pipeline, logging incidents and generating the evidence needed for legislative reporting.
Integrity Verification: Partners and customers can verify that the device is running authentic, untampered code through the portal’s attestation tracking.
Bridging the Gap Between Detection and Resolution
The IoT Transparency Portal is more than just a public dashboard; it is a gateway to the MSS ecosystem. When a vulnerability is identified, the portal provides a direct path to resolution through the Security Support Gateway, allowing vendors to:
Quarantine the specific vulnerable software module without crashing the device.
Connect a verified security partner.
Deploy a verified update instantly through the portal’s orchestration engine.
"The IoT market has reached a tipping point where trust is as important as functionality," said Murat Cakmak, Founder of Microservice Store. "We built the IoT Transparency Portal because you cannot secure what you cannot see. By providing a single source of truth for device integrity and compliance, we are helping vendors protect their reputation and stay in the market."
“Transparency is becoming a fundamental requirement for connected products. As regulation and complexity increase, the industry needs mechanisms that make security, updates, and software provenance visible and auditable across the entire device lifecycle. Initiatives like the IoT Transparency Portal help move the industry toward a more accountable and trustworthy ecosystem.” – Chris Bennison, IoT Security Foundation Operations Manager
Availability:
